31st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner from 5.5f-7f; 0-19 on AW but he's been placed on Polytrack and Tapeta; has had a short break since going very close at Windsor (6f, good) in September and he's a player if he can reproduce that form. |

His last three wins have come over this trip at Ripon; well handicapped on last season's best but he underperformed at Ripon, albeit over 5f, when last seen three weeks ago; down in class today and one to consider; can blow it at the start. |

Just two of his 96 starts have been over 7f but he was placed over C&D in February; three Chepstow wins in the summer and he also ran well for third at Chelmsford when last seen five weeks ago; each-way shout. |

Rattled off a Chepstow hat-trick in the summer and showed better form when third in a C&D handicap this month; never threatened at Kempton 12 days ago and he has the widest stall to overcome here. |

9st 9lb |
Six-time C&D winner; easing mark and back to form, just held by U Sure Do over C&D (good; 25-1) under four weeks ago; is capable of handling easier ground, and well drawn close to the stands' rail in stall 10; stablemate of William Dewhirst. |
4/1 |

2nd 9 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Six-time course winner but well held in his three runs this year and latest was over C&D (good to soft) last month; has form figures of 1242 in this race in the last four years but he needs to turn things around off a sliding mark. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Standing dish at Ripon, where he's recorded ten of his 12 wins; his 71st start is his first here; below par in both starts this season; drops 2lb but perhaps needs further favours from the handicapper to win again. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time course winner who ended last season with two wins (6f/5f) at Ripon; struggled on Thirsk reappearance last month but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and he's not ruled out back at his favoured track; acts on good to firm and soft. |
11/2 |

Best known as a Ripon specialist with ten wins there, including his last two starts of 2025; has won fresh, but has tended to need his reappearance in recent years. |

9st 2lb |
Ran on well to win a 6f handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago (6f, soft); that race had rather an end-of-season feel to it but the Topspeed figure was good and a 3lb rise looks fair; interesting on first AW start since October 2018. |

24th Sep 2022 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not had a huge amount of racing for his age and he's very useful over this trip when underfoot conditions are suitable; as good as ever with his two placed efforts this year and he has gone well after a similar break in the past; wouldn't want it to dry out too much but a danger to all if it is good or slower. |

Five-time turf winner on a variety of ground, but has shown precious little in nine starts for this yard despite a plummeting mark; market should indicate whether a revival is expected. |

Five-time winner over 5f on turf; out of form since joining present yard, but has dropped to a good mark and may do better on return from a break. |
