10th 4 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Maintained unbeaten Ripon record (3-3; all 5f) when seeing off Rock Of England and Mark's Choice in early July; ran respectably in Class 2 at Goodwood (5f) before toiling at Pontefract; fairly treated but effectiveness over 6f is questionable. |
16/1 |

8th 8 (7) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Soundly beaten over C&D (good to firm) two runs ago but prior to that he won at Ripon (5f, good), and he posted a respectable effort at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; he's won here four times; not ruled out. |
16/1 |
|
11th 24 (11) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Exposed ten-time winner who was down the field in this 12 months ago when 1lb higher; won at Ripon this month (no headgear) before finishing fifth of seven 11 days ago at Pontefract (visored); a long time since he wore blinkers. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a win since May 2023 when previously trained by this yard and he's since dropped a long way in the weights; below his best at Catterick (6f, soft; first-time visor) a week ago and needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Course record of 3-9 includes a nose defeat of Quercus off topweight in this race in 2022 (good to firm); 5lb wrong this time and effectiveness on soft or worse untested since September 2021; debuted visor no certainty to inspire, all seven wins having been gained free of headgear. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped sharply the last twice, so needs to bounce back in a major way; however, looks difficult to dismiss, having scored over C&D (off 3lb lower) on last AW appearance. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (15) |
20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Smart earlier in career, when acting on soft; revived since wind surgery, winning on AW then a luckless third at Beverley (5f, good); however, he finished nearer last than first at Ayr since and left on the same mark. |
12/1 |
|
15th 10 (16) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In great form since having wind surgery, winning at Newcastle (AW) then unlucky third at Beverley (good; would likely have won with clearer run); raised only 1lb for latest effort and commands respect. |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Clear signs of a return to form in big field at Thirsk last month, finishing third (best of the near-side runners); defied a 7lb higher mark in this contest last year (good to firm) on sole start under Elle-May Croot; respected. |
7/2 |

5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
On a career-low mark and there's been a couple of hints of promise this year, but he's 0-17 since winning on his debut in 2021 and others have more compelling credentials; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
11/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
30th May 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He's won just one of his 17 starts and has a regressive profile; however, he kept on for a fair sixth of 13 at Catterick (5f, good) last time and this step back up to 6f is worth a go; not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (12) |
13th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-11 and inconsistent for current stable but may benefit from the drop back to Class 6; runner-up off 11lb higher in this grade last June; good chance if back to that form. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Smart in his pomp; 2026 has been a struggle but he has dropped 19lb in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company; too much ability to discount but he is looking increasingly moody in the early part of his races. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher in July 2025; threatened only once from seven starts this term, in a small field three runs ago, and soon got detached on last two outings, so others are readily preferred. |
10/1 |
|
11th 11 (12) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a couple of C&D wins on his record; not found his best form this year and he has too much to prove for comfort, for all he is tumbling down the weights. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has tumbled down the weights in the past year but rather struggled in four runs back following wind surgery; hard to enthuse about. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

soon disputed lead, led narrowly over 2f out, headed over 1f out, soon lost second, weakened final furlong |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
5f-6f winner when trained in Ireland, including on heavy; placed in all four starts for this trainer but needs to pull out a bit more for a first British success. |
4/1 |
