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. |

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. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f; 10-1, from a 2lb lower mark) early in the New Year, having regularly caught the eye here prior; no obvious excuses when fourth over C&D latest (14-1); others more appealing. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Came from off the pace to score at Southwell last month, his seventh success; probably still on a workable mark but his latest run was below par and his record in recent months is very mixed. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (13) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His Carlisle win in July (6f, soft) was a comfortable one and he is only 3lb higher tonight; not far behind Sugar Baby at Redcar a fortnight ago but this will require more. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Her form has been mixed this season and she was soundly beaten at Carlisle last time; however, she's running at Hamilton for the first time this year and nine of her 11 wins have come over C&D; she's 10lb lower than when winning here last August and could bounce back with a bold show. |
13/2 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Eleven turf wins, mostly at Hamilton but once over C&D, on ground ranging from soft to good to firm; weighted to find another race and will be suited by returning to a track with a stiff finish following her persevering fourth at Ayr 13 days ago; thereabouts. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has form at several different venues but is ideally suited by Hamilton, having done nearly all of her winning there; below par last time, failing to back up reappearance effort; 0-9 at Ayr. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
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) |

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. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

His last turf success came over this C&D (good) but back in April 2022; this is his level now but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

8th 12 (6) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Five-time C&D winner; unable to justify favouritism in a 0-55 here 11 days ago and he has more on his plate at this level. |
12/1 |

3rd 6 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Five AW wins but losing run is mounting up; needs a fast pace to aim at and is slipping down the weights; likely to come good again one of these days. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Extended his run of creditable efforts last time, when he divided Huddle Up and Count d'Orsay at Carlisle; no problems with ground/track/trip and likely to give it his best shot again. |

3rd 6 (9) |
30th May 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Back to winning form at Thirsk (6f, heavy) last month and has twice run well since, fourth of nine on ground that would have been quick enough at Beverley (5f) last time; considered under his promising amateur. |

First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

8st 8lb |
More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |
40/1 |

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 |

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. |
