midfield, keeping on when repeatedly short of room from over 1f out, ran on well and went second inside final 110yds, no match for winner |

Only beaten half a length over C&D in June and bounced back from a lesser effort when runner-up over 1m4f at Listowel last month; drop back in trip on slower ground looks ideal and has to be high on the shortlist. |

Scored at Ripon (6f) last June but yet to hit top form this season, undergoing wind surgery before coming in seventh of ten in 6f Pontefract handicap four days ago; others appeal more. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ripon winner off a 3lb higher mark last June (6f, good); not in top form this season but should fare better on first run after having wind surgery |

Back to his last winning mark and his first two runs in 2026 were respectable; eligible for weaker races than this and easy enough to look elsewhere. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Richard Hannon; off the mark for the Quinn team when making virtually all in a 22-runner handicap at York Dante meeting (6f, good); bounced straight back from a lesser run at Thirsk when second at Ripon; made all for a 6f Chester win three weeks ago; stable won this with Mr Wagyu in 2022. |

Ex-Richard Hannon; off the mark for the Quinn team when making virtually all in a 22-runner handicap at York Dante meeting (6f, good) in May and bounced straight back from a lesser run at Thirsk when 2l second of seven at Ripon (6f, good) nine days ago; same mark this afternoon; bold show likely from a handy draw. |

9st 5lb |
7f winner at two but wasn't seeing out his races this year until dropped back to 6f at Yarmouth (close third on good ground) two weeks ago; still unexposed at this distance; interesting off the same mark. |

3rd 4 (4) |

Hasn't this year matched form of 7f AW win from last September and didn't get home over that trip at Newbury last time; unlikely to be inconvenienced by the return to 6f. |

Can blow the start but he won two C&D handicaps in late 2025 and is well treated on that form; trainer has won the last two renewals of this race; high on the list. |

17th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Slowly away and never a threat on all three starts this year, the latest last weekend; being dropped another 2lb can only help but he isn't obviously in good enough form to add to his 2024 success in this. |

Ex-Richard Hannon; not at his best this year and although well handicapped as a result, has plenty to find on recent efforts; tongue-tie now tried. |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Good record on AW, winning at Kempton in February and a creditable third over 7f here last month; that latest effort suggests he'll need improvement for this first crack at 1m if he's to defy this mark. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
11th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Tailed off at Newbury three weeks ago but that was his first run on soft ground; had previously improved for cheekpieces on the AW, winning over 7f at Kempton then narrowly defeated on his return visit; could easily bounce back with Billy Loughnane booked. |
8/1 |

8th 10 (9) |
21st Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Had plenty of experience; has improved for cheekpieces on the AW this year, winning over 7f at Kempton then narrowly defeated there 23 days ago; now significantly higher than his handicap defeats on turf last year so there are question marks back on grass. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Wide-margin turf win in April flanked by two AW defeats as favourite; perhaps the return to turf will help but he is creeping back up the weights. |
6/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |
6/4 |

1st 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A fairly useful 7f winner at his best; gambled on for his new yard and and shaped well when second of 11 in 7f Chelmsford handicap 26 days ago, just edged out having been set plenty to do; up 3lb but he can make amends with cheekpieces refitted. |
