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. |
20/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Just held on to score at Doncaster (7f) in August and did well to finish second at Chelmsford (7f, AW) since, considering he was slowly away; missed the break again when never dangerous at Redcar latest and he does come with risks. |

9st 11lb |
Just held on to score at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and did well to finish second at Chelmsford (7f, AW) since, considering he was slowly away; tendency to blow the start is a concern and he's unproven on ground slower than good. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Usually a reliable sort whose five wins have all been over 6f; beaten a head over 5f at Wolverhampton in March and a shade disappointing back on turf subsequently but should give a better performance here. |
7/1 |
|
10 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
All five wins have been this trip but he had a near-miss over 5f at Wolverhampton in March; only 1lb higher today but he was a disappointing favourite back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) last time; has a bit to prove again after that and this is a step back up in grade. |
7/1 |

7th 7 (11) |

Three wins in 2025, the latest at this track (6f, good) in September when 3lb lower; several good runs in defeat since and he is a leading contender with this likely to be run to suit. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time course winner who ended last season with two wins (6f/5f) at Ripon; struggled on Thirsk reappearance last month but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and he's not ruled out back at his favoured track; acts on good to firm and soft. |
11/2 |

15th 2 (2) |

Best known as a Ripon specialist with ten wins there, including his last two starts of 2025; has won fresh, but has tended to need his reappearance in recent years. |

Front-runner who won over C&D in 2024; beaten around 6l when third here in January but he's been well held in two starts since; others preferred. |

8th 4 (11) |

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 |

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. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
14/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

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 |
9st 1lb |

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 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

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

Blows hot and cold and she's struggled on Tapeta this spring in her three runs after a break; plenty to prove and probably more potent at 1m these days. |

|
12th 14 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Blows hot and cold, and has been on the chilly side in her two runs back from a break; it's no certainty that the drop back from 1m will help and she holds only outside claims. |

10th 9 (11) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
