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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f) in July but well below par both runs since and he failed to beat a rival in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time; needs to take a major step forward. |
33/1 |
|
14th 10 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-5 at Ripon but he has run well here; back near his best when seeing off 16 rivals at Ayr last month but a subsequent Hamilton run (5f) was underwhelming; still feasibly weighted despite being 1lb wrong but he is another who would make more appeal on a slower surface. |
16/1 |
|
10th 10 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Running well this year, including close third to Vantheman over C&D in May, and he posted a deserved win in a big field at Ayr (6f, good) 26 days ago; raised 5lb but he was very competitive off similar marks in 2024. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-running veteran who has won 11 times; his last success was off 4lb higher at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he's been disappointing since and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-running veteran who has won 11 times including over C&D; got pestered for the lead at Catterick last time but he's been disappointing since his win at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and others are preferred. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two of 11 wins have been over C&D; latest success was at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but rather disappointing since; has a bit to prove. |

21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Placed at Musselburgh last weekend but recorded a meagre RPR; the veteran remains on a near two-year losing spell. |
20/1 |
|
10 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Veteran who has not won since October 2023 and has finished in rear on his last four outings; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
12 (8) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who is versatile ground-wise but he's not won since October 2023 and has finished in rear in last three starts; down the list. |

Expensive to follow this season but well handicapped and made the frame on her previous visit here; unlikely to be far away. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
It's now 17 runs since his last win and he's been placed just once from his ten outings this term; others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 10 (5) |
27th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Recorded a fair third of nine in 5f Redcar classified event 15 days ago but it's now 16 starts since his last success. |

3rd 3 (2) |
12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

The odd false dawn this summer but essentially he's regressing quickly; this is a drop in grade but there are risks attached. |

28th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Form has dipped in two starts this month but his two efforts in August were respectable; dangerous mark but something to prove again now. |
12/1 |
