18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both turf wins have been over C&D on good to firm, the latest last August; close third to a subsequent winner at Yarmouth last time (7f, good to firm) and has a fair chance here. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins on turf have been at Doncaster (7f) on good to firm; close third of 11 at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but ran below his best when last seen 147 days ago; break may have done him some good. |
14/1 |

9th 8 (9) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored at Doncaster (7f) in August and has returned from a ten-week break in good nick, not enjoying the rub of the green when sixth of nine over C&D 39 days ago; he can make his presence felt. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Showed career-best form when winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D but could be a shade vulnerable off a mark this high. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent 5yo who came clear with the second when justifying market support last weekend at Lingfield (6f, soft); carries a 5lb penalty and Myla Coppins claimed 7lb on Saturday, so these terms are tougher; still a likely contender and any rain welcomed. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Modest strike-rate in the last 14 months but he is generally consistent and is versatile as regards surfaces; form figures off current mark read 222; could go one better, with Myla Coppins taking off 7lb. |

3rd 7 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who is a ten-time winner at Ripon, most recently last September; led for long way in small field over 6f here most recently and appears to retain a sizeable chunk of ability. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ten of his 12 wins have been at Ripon including seven on fast and slow ground over C&D; hasn't threatened in three runs this season but he was a respectable second at Catterick (6f) last time and he's in the mix back at this track. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Standing dish at Ripon, where he's recorded ten of his 12 wins; his 71st start is his first here; below par in both starts this season; drops 2lb but perhaps needs further favours from the handicapper to win again. |

Hanging to his left may have cost him dear when a close fourth behind Barnsnape Boy in a C&D classified event 12 days ago; each-way claims if keeping straighter. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Often a front-runner; returns to turf for the first time since winning a 0-60 handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last July but he does appear to face a difficult task on these terms. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |
9/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his five races, all over C&D, this year, his latest win coming last Tuesday when getting home by 0.5l; up 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past; should go well |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

His close fourth at Newcastle (1m, AW) on his reappearance in March would make him a threat off this mark but it's been downhill since; finished well beaten in this race last year. |
33/1 |

12th 18 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

Has won on turf (1m on good ground at Musselburgh in April last year) but seems better on the AW and has run well below his best on last two starts. |
33/1 |

10th 6 (11) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |

Raced at 1m this season, for a good fourth on reappearance but well-beaten second favourite here next time; this is a rethink on trip but a C&D third last June and 1m2f win last September are encouraging. |

10st 2lb |
Habitual front-runner; reeled in after going off a bit too hard over 1m at Brighton recently but won over 7f there (good to firm) two starts ago and has the ideal draw here; could take some catching. |
9/2 |

5th 5 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Ran well when third of 12 on his reappearance over C&D this month (Rogue Dynasty second), but all six wins have come over 7f including when recording his fourth course success back here eight days ago, for which he has a 4lb penalty. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Both wins for Joseph O'Brien and she's had plenty of chances to win a race in Britain but failed to do so; never figured at Wolverhampton on Monday. |
14/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

3/1 |

10th 8 (14) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Disappointing favourite at Brighton last time when perhaps stretched by 1m2f; bang there over 1m in her first two runs for this yard, though, including a third to Ribston Pippin at Yarmouth in August. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
First 27 starts came on the AW (three wins) and was making his turf debut when third of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month (fourth has won twice since); 5lb below last winning mark and much respected for stable that won this in 2024. |
2/1 |

3rd 7 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

All 27 runs have been on AW; back-to-back wins at Southwell (1m) last October but he's been up and down since and was beaten 12l at Southwell two weeks ago; now makes his belated turf debut and comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Back-to-back C&D wins last October (off 3lb lower than today, then 3lb higher than today); should appreciate returning to 1m having produced a lesser effort over 7f here last time; can be involved. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
