6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Productive mare who has been successful three times this term and finished a creditable second in last two C&D attempts; came up short last time, however, and may be in the assessor's grip now. |
8/1 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Three 5f handicap wins this year, the latest over C&D last week when comfortably outpointing six rivals; the combination of a 5lb penalty and stronger opposition may find her out. |
13/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

In-form mare; twice successful this season, including at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good; from 5lb lower); runner-up at Ripon on last two outings (Tees Aggregates a close third on penultimate start); has no issues with this track; merits respect. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seemingly perked up by change of headgear when winning from the front at Thirsk (6f, good; first-time visor) in April and again ran well when third of 17 over that C&D last month; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 11 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Recorded back-to-back C&D wins last October (the second off 3lb lower) but the wheels came off in his hat-trick bid in November; back from 161 days off with a point to prove. |

|

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Comes here chasing a C&D hat-trick after two narrow wins last month; still feasibly weighted up 3lb and should be in the thick of the action. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor strike-rate but one of his two successes came over C&D; creditable effort in a Ripon handicap (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago and a 2lb drop makes him eligible for this grade for the first time; looks highly likely to run a big race. |
9/2 |
|
5 (10) |
29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Infrequent winner but he was third in this race in 2022 on his only other Ripon appearance; not found his best form in two runs this spring but he's on a dangerous mark and a change of headgear could help (has won in visor). |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Currently 2-4 over C&D (also finished fourth in this last year off 4lb lower); a disappointing effort last time will need forgiving but the return here will help, this time with 7lb being taken off by Jake Dickson. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored three times off lower marks in May-July last term (ended up with a peak mark 7lb higher than current one); generally consistent since, running-on third at Nottingham (6f, good) most recently; in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner whose mark continues to fall and he hasn't been devoid of spark this season; however, this 9yo needs to better what he's shown on his last three starts (the first of them over C&D). |
14/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten a nose by Mrs Trump in this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not at his best this year but his Redcar fourth in May offered hope he could add to his 11 wins. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Recorded his tenth turf win when scoring at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in October; now 2lb lower than for that success but he's been short of spark in three runs this season and needs to raise his game. |

5f AW winner in his first stint with Rebecca Menzies; no show in two runs since returning to this yard (trained in Ireland in 2024); steps back up in trip and headgear removed; market watch advised. |

8 (11) |
29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

5f AW winner in his first stint with Rebecca Menzies; sent off favourite for his return to this yard (trained in Ireland in 2024) last month but over-raced early and was never in contention; something to prove after that and a new visor replaces cheekpieces. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Respectable effort when beaten 1l over C&D in May but his overall profile is patchy and today's cheekpieces didn't seem to work when used for the first time 34 days ago. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins have been on AW and latest was 11 months ago; 0-15 on turf but he had a near-miss at Nottingham (5f, good) in July and has run respectably in two of his three subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished five places behind Arlington at Ripon 11 days ago but he met trouble in running; beaten only a head at Nottingham (5f, good) earlier in July and a repeat of that form would give him reasonable claims. |
5/1 |

7th 4 (8) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Chased home Canaria Queen in a Nottingham classified event 11 days ago and 1lb better off for a head defeat today; ran another good race at Newcastle on Saturday, never nearer than at the finish; new blinkers replace cheekpieces; has the ability to win a race of this nature but he's an habitual slow starter so will always need some luck in running. |

Her three wins have come on stiffer tracks but she's a consistent mare who finished well to be right on the scene over C&D 18 days ago (good); today's slower surface should place a greater emphasis on stamina that will suit. |

9st 12lb |
Game effort to win a 5f handicap at Thirsk (good ground) last month; dropped away having made the running at Newcastle 13 days ago; has run well at Carlisle before but over 5f and this test might be stiffer than ideal. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Course winner (6f); arrives having been in good form, seeing off her 11 rivals at Thirsk (5f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another solid effort. |

1st 7 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won this last year (first-time visor) and quickly added to that with further wins at Catterick (7f), Newcastle (6f), and back here (6f), rising steadily in the weights; she's a likely pace angle, only worn down inside final furlong at Catterick (6f; 17-2) 25 days ago. |
