26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |
20/1 |

9th 7 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; may have been ready for a break towards end of last season but there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |
25/1 |
|
7 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran; game AW winner at Southwell (7f; 6-1) recently; 1lb rise looks fair and he's still 5lb lower than when successful over C&D (good to firm) last August; no reason why he shouldn't be thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned from break with three down-the-field runs this year but his fourth of ten over C&D three weeks ago was a big step back in the right direction and he's another 2lb lower today; considered each-way. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2-7 over C&D and 4lb below his last winning mark, but now at the veteran stage and has beaten a total of one rival in three starts since returning from five months off in February. |

Four wins last year included one over C&D; made a winning return at Southwell (1m, AW) in March but well beaten back on turf twice since; not quite sure what to expect. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran C&D scorer who slipped in the weights in the second half of last year and arrives in fine form; runner-up in 14-runner event here last month; merits serious consideration. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who won this race last year and returned to form with a creditable second over C&D (Woodleigh fifth) 11 days ago; has possibilities off unchanged mark and he won't mind what the weather does. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who gained most recently success in C&D contest (off 5lb higher) last May on second start of his 2025 campaign; reasonably interesting returned to this scenario with Thirsk reappearance under his belt. |

Acts on any ground; still 4lb below his last winning mark but unplaced in all six starts so far this year, including when seventh of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) on Friday; more needed. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
9-96; just failed to reel in Wyvern over 7f here in December but laboured since; weakened, well down the field at Ripon (1m, good; beaten 17l) latest; is fairly treated but the chances are that age is beginning to catch up with him. |
10/1 |

12th 5 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Into the veteran stage but on a competitive mark on form as recent as December; recent Redcar run should have sharpened him up but others may have his measure for win purposes. |

Yet to kickstart this campaign and, although he has run well here in the past, others come here with more pressing claims. |

10th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Bit disappointing at Wetherby on last appearance; last success came off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) 12 months ago; major player if back to that level of form. |

9th 11 (12) |
18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Wins here if anywhere, and his most recent success of May 2022 was gained in a C&D 0-75 off 3lb higher (good); needs to put a below-par effort at Ripon last month behind him, but that's not impossible. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (4) |
10th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has gained both wins at Thirsk; made the frame there (soft/good to firm) in two of last three outings; placed off 3lb higher on sole attempt here, so looks difficult to dismiss. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Triple AW winner last winter (including one over C&D) but form has an uneven look since; below best over C&D last time but usual cheekpieces now replaced by first-time visor. |

6th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Not quite at the top of his game of late; however, this six-time AW winner has clear possibilities off current mark back in Class 6. |
