Won by a length under Cara Tuke over C&D last week (good to soft) and escapes a penalty for that; that was a return to form and she can put a sequence of solid efforts together. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark for the year with her win at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in August; wore first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f, good) nine days ago and she ran well for second; another 1lb higher today but foolish to discount. |

Well beaten in the Portland at Doncaster 12 days ago, having won that 5.6f handicap 12 months earlier; however, she won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) two starts ago and is fine at 6f and on good/good to firm ground; this front-runner is not discounted in first-time cheekpieces. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor strike-rate but one of his two successes came over C&D; creditable effort in a Ripon handicap (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago and a 2lb drop makes him eligible for this grade for the first time; looks highly likely to run a big race. |
9/2 |

Infrequent winner but he was third in this race in 2022 on his only other Ripon appearance; not found his best form in two runs this spring but he's on a dangerous mark and a change of headgear could help (has won in visor). |

All wins at 6f on ground ranging from good to soft to heavy, the last three in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been tailed off in three runs (1m, AW/good to firm) for new yard this year and has a lot to prove |

Dual C&D winner but his last success was 15 months ago and he's not made an impact this season; has dropped a long way in the weights but he has plenty to prove and needs a major revival back in trip; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Versatile regarding the ground; useful form when beating an improver at Hamilton (6f, soft) in September but his best turf handicap form is on that track and has more to prove following an Ayr defeat since. |

Took her Irish trainer's record with runners here to 3-8 when justifying favouritism over C&D four days ago; that came in a 0-55 handicap that panned out nicely and this is tougher under the penalty, but she's respected. |

All of his ten wins have been at Newcastle, including six over C&D; failed to beat a rival in his two runs this season but he bounced back with an emphatic win in this race last year; looks well handicapped on that form and is a player if he can get back on track. |
