9st 9lb |
C&D winner who was runner-up over 8.5f at Beverley in April and May; below his best over that same C&D last month but has good claims on his first try in classified company. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has won four of his 17 turf races at up to 1m2f; respectable 2.75l third of 18 at York last time (1m2.5f good); interesting, although pulled hard and didn't seem to get home on only previous try at 1m4f. |

3rd 16 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Went up 20lb for his four wins last season and has found life much tougher this term; fair run last time at Beverley but plenty to find with the winner, Mao Shang Wong. |
25/1 |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to. |

Two wins over 1m at Ripon last season (good/good to firm); a bit disappointing this term (4l fourth of seven at Pontefract latest) but on a good mark now. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Won two 1m handicaps last summer at Ripon, from 25 races overall; backward steps in his three starts this season leave him 3lb below last winning mark but with plenty to prove currently. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
8.4f second or third last spring on his three outings at this track, twice from the front; two 1m wins at Ripon last summer, showing form which has not been recaptured this season but he has a competitive mark. |

18th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won over hurdles last year and has twice made the frame on the Flat for new stable this season, perhaps more notably when second to unexposed rival at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in May; encountered traffic there on both subsequent appearances and arrives here on a good mark. |
5/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Winning hurdler; 0-10 on the Flat but runner-up over C&D in May and was denied a clear passage back here three weeks ago; each-way claims. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hurdles scorer; 0-9 on Flat but has steadily returned to form this term and ran well, clear second behind odds-on shot, in maiden handicap over C&D (good to firm) most recently; in the mix. |

9st 0lb |
Both wins have been over 1m at Newcastle (good second there last time); 0-20 on turf, but fair second at Pontefract in June and a chance on that form. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Both wins over C&D so has to be considered after his return to form at Pontefract; on a good mark. |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins over 1m on AW, the latest in September; has mostly had stamina limitations over 1m2f, as on this course last time, but he wasn't far away at Beverley (about 1m, good to firm) the time before and his AW form with Wheres The Crumpet in October puts him in the vicinity. |

Not beaten far when fifth at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April but this 8yo has struggled on his three starts since; others preferred. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious. |

9st 2lb |
Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m winner for Mark Walford who wasn't discredited for his new yard when third of six in 1m handicap at Leicester in June; not ruled out after a break. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

9st 6lb |
Made it 0-13 when only sixth over C&D 11 days ago on his second start of the season, but it's possible he's working his way back to form and he's well handicapped on last season's best efforts; not written off. |

24th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Made it 0-12 when tailed off in reapplied cheekpieces on recent reappearance; however, if he's following the same pattern as last year there could be a big run forthcoming with the blinkers back on this afternoon. |
