11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
6/1 |

7th 5 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix. |

2nd 6 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
11yo who needs to produce more than he's managed on his last three starts but he's 3lb lower than when a close third at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May and has won at Ripon seven times; went close here in August 2024 when he last wore these blinkers (which replace cheekpieces); not discounted. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; best form this term when placed a few times in spring, showing that he retains plenty of ability aged 11; gained last win off 7lb higher over C&D and can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Tough front-runner; ran a rare poor race last time but had been in good form prior to that, notably when a close third at Ayr last month (1m, good to firm); major chance. |

13th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Acts on soft; close third on penultimate start, inconsistent otherwise this year; three-time winner at Chester and has possibilities back here, provided he takes well to first-time visor. |

11th 10 (8) |
1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
7f course winner who had dropped 6lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last December when beaten less than a length into third of 11 at Ripon (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; races off the same mark but this trip looks to be right on the limit of his stamina. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his Salisbury win (7f, good to firm) in July; held his form since and he has the assistance of a useful claimer in the saddle; each-way shout. |
9/1 |

6th 9 (12) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't really kicked on from his 7f win at Salisbury in June but has posted some fair efforts; in top hands and this lightly raced 4yo may be able to take a sizeable step forward at some stage. |
7/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his second win when scoring at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in June and was a good second at Kempton next time; didn't fire at Ripon 13 days ago but that was on slow ground and he could resume his progress here; in the mix. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
6yo who has a regressive profile but he kept on into mid-division over 7f here (good to soft) three weeks ago and the return to 1m and more testing ground could be in his favour, with both wins having come on heavy going; interesting contender off an ever-falling mark. |
9/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained his Irish wins on heavy ground and he produced a clear best effort for current yard on soft (now 9lb lower) when fourth of nine at Redcar last November; revival plausible when he returns to those conditions. |
