10th 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
7-24 with his last win coming when joined on the line at Ripon (1m, good; 3-1 favourite) in April 2025; struggled on AW through the winter (0-4), and was pestered for the lead, weakening to finish fifth (beaten 8l), at Ripon five weeks ago; an easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dead-heated over C&D (good) last April and went very close at Carlisle in June; well handicapped on that form but a long way below his best on AW this year; the return to turf needs to trigger a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (10) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Two C&D wins on his record but he has finished down the field in three runs back from a break this year; only dropped 3lb for those defeats and he may need some more help from the handicapper. |

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 |
10st 0lb |
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. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner from the front last October; mostly creditable efforts in defeat this year and should give it a good shot back at a venue which suits, particularly if he can obtain an uncontested lead. |
9/2 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A dual 7f Catterick scorer in October; back in very good form this season, and probably best forgiven his latest 11th in 7f Thirsk handicap when missing the start and unable to lead; the sort to bounce back. |
11/1 |
|
11th 8 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Notched two wins over this trip at Catterick last October and he has returned in fine form, making much of the running when a close third over C&D (good ground) last month; solid claims again from an unchanged mark. |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |
11/2 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Most likeable front runner who bagged a second win of 2026 in 1m2f Ripon handicap in May; unable to lead from a poor draw when 11th at York (1m2f) 15 days ago and remains very much one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
11th 7 (14) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Better than ever when he won five times last year and he's carried on that good work this term, scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft) in April and again over that C&D (good) a fortnight ago; that's arguably his favourite track but he's got form here too and can't be dismissed in current mood. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Four wins for William Muir and Chris Grassick; winless for current yard last year and has dropped to a career-low mark on first run for 209 days; may be best watched this time. |
16/1 |
|
1 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |
13/2 |
|
1 (6) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |
14/1 |
|
10th 12 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Tough sort but has done his winning this year in Class 4, including at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time when taking record to 8-55; faces a tougher task back up two grades. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
11yo who has been up and down this season but has won twice, including over C&D (good), and he ran pretty well when third here (1m, good) last time; finished third in this last year and he could give a good account. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose 2026 wins at Ripon (1m2f) and Musselburgh (1m1f) show that he retains plenty of vitality; form dipped when back at this venue last time, so needs to rebound. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best when allowed to dominate, so this track suits his style of running; two wins already this year, here and at Musselburgh (1m1f); sits 3lb above his last winning mark, but still posted a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at York (sixth of 18; 28-1) last week. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried without usual cheekpieces when beating just two in 1m2f Leicester handicap 24 days ago; visor is tried again now but others still appeal more. |
13/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still capable of winning off 30lb higher exactly two years ago, but basically consistent at a lower level these days, and still well suited by a galloping turf track; this step up to 1m4f looks long overdue. |
13/2 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has gone 0-24 since winning over 1m1f at York (good to soft) two years ago and needs to improve on this season's efforts. |

Arrives in decent nick without winning, fourth of nine in 1m handicap at Ripon 13 days ago; it's now 20 runs since his last victory however. |
13/2 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
In reasonably good form having made the frame in last three starts; however, still has a better strike-rate on Newcastle AW than on turf and this is a step back up in grade; 2lb out of weights. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 13 (13) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Back in better form with fourth-place finishes the last twice; still has a better strike-rate on Newcastle AW than on turf but he's on an attractive mark and Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 7lb; shortlisted. |
