2nd 1 (2) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Has won on good to soft; seen in best light when impressive in a similar race at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August; had an off day next time and she lacked the pace to get involved at Ayr since (extended 5f; respectable fourth) but returning to 6f with a stiff finish can suit; solid. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
20th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Never better than when coming clear for 6f Listed win at Pontefract in August (good to firm; Rage Of Bamby over 4l back in fourth) but she was a different filly when dropping right out at York since (6f, good to soft; had won a big handicap on that ground in June); needs quick about-face. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; understandably not the force of old but won on 2025 reappearance (off 6lb higher) and has a strong York record (6-18). |
25/1 |

9th 6 (3) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; not the force of old but he showed there's still some fire in his belly with a fifth of 13 at Doncaster (5f, soft) three weeks ago off 2lb higher; has a win and a second from just two outings here; makes the shortlist. |
8/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Class 4 handicap at Ripon on his return in April (6f, good; 2lb higher); heavy defeats have followed and he could do with the ground softening up back at 5f. |

15th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Useful on his day; however, on a three-year losing spell and current mark reflects a decline in his form since last July; the betting may offer further guidance with Ripon reappearance under his belt. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Formerly smart handicapper; 15 wins from 94 starts including two victories over C&D; hasn't won anywhere since 2022 and lost his way last year, but did go close here on 2024 reappearance; could bounce back; goes on any ground. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner down the years and gained his most recent success (narrowly, three starts ago) off current mark; subsequent dip in form is the negative. |
12/1 |

11th 1 (15) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Getting on but retains a lot of his old ability, is still consistent enough and has won over C&D before; rare off-day at Thirsk a fortnight ago, having beating a subsequent winner in a small field off 1lb lower previously; quite capable of bouncing back. |
12/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Retains a large portion of his ability despite his advanced years and took advantage of a reduced mark at Cattterick (6f, good) ten days ago; only nudged up 1lb for that narrow success. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Half of his wins have come over C&D and he finished sixth (Fortamour third) in this race in 2024; runner-up in added blinkers at Hamilton (6f, soft; 11-2) last September, but has failed to sparkle since (0-3); easing mark and a return to Ripon are the positives. |
20/1 |

7th 9 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple 6f winner, mainly on softer than good, most recently off current mark at Carlisle last May; inconsistent since and has something to prove back up in trip. |
14/1 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Back on much the same mark as his latest win, an amateur jockeys' race at Carlisle (good to soft) last May; has won on reappearance but he tends to need the run these days. |

9st 0lb |
Tumbled down the weights last year before undergoing wind surgery; was inclined to pull hard and didn't see it out on his Tapeta comeback, and the suspicion is he'll be back at some point. |

2nd 14 (14) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
His last win came over C&D last July (good; off 1lb higher) and he stayed on for a close third at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; firmly in calculations. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 10 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
May have needed his recent comeback from six months off at his age (cracked late on having raced prominently from a low stall over 6f round Chester); 2lb below his last successful mark and has won here before but David Allan has opted for Vince L'Amour. |
12/1 |
|
7th 12 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
On a competitive mark with a handy inside draw but he is returning from a seven month absence and his connections are also represented by Miraculous. |
8/1 |
