Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Sole appearance here resulted in breakthrough win over this trip back in 2023; no subsequent wins until he rewarded good support at Ripon (1m) last May then went back-to-back over that C&D (also good) the following month; proved a disappointing favourite back at Ripon when last seen 443 days ago; heed the market signals on this comeback/stable debut. |

Won two in a row over C&D (good) in May/June; merely mid-division over 1m2f the next twice, here then at York, but the drop back down in trip and return to Ripon could both be positives and he's not ruled out. |

9st 12lb |
Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |

9st 5lb |
Generally consistent 4yo, who made all at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and things didn't go his way back on turf there last time; has claims if he can bounce back but stall 14 could make things tough and there are some other pacesetters in the line-up. |

Consistent 4yo who held on well to make all at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; should be okay back on turf and recent 3lb rise is offset by Laura Coughlan's claim today but he's very unlikely to enjoy an uncontested lead. |

9st 11lb |
Versatile trip-wise, he ran well when third of 11 at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June but was a shade disappointing when fourth at Doncaster (14.5f, good) last month when longer trip was expected to suit; still not out of this if putting his best foot forward. |

Multiple winner and a versatile sort trip-wise; shaped as though coming to hand over 1m2f (under Bradley Furniss) at Newbury last time, a race that threw up several winners, and won't mind the step back up in distance; seems to handle most ground and is a player. |

Four wins last year (1m2f-1m6f, including on turf) and this versatile sort was back on the scoresheet at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; fair efforts on last two starts (1m/1m6f) and he might not be far away. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has modest 1-31 strike-rate but gave good account when third of 13 in 6f handicap here last month and now dips into this basement grade for the first time; fine over 7f; high on the list. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |
