3rd 6 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Four wins last season, including competitive C&D handicap off the same mark as today; in and out this season but he gave it a good go from the front when close sixth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week, and this less demanding track should play to his strengths; respected. |
11/2 |

6th 13 (11) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made giant strides in 2025, winning four times including a big-field 5f Class 2 handicap at Southwell; only 1lb higher today but his 2026 campaign has been up and down and others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Did well last term, winning four times; went close at Beverley on penultimate start and paid for racing freely in cheekpieces a few days later; runs without the headgear this time and could go well. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A four-time winner in 2025 (including over C&D) and he comes here on the back of an encouraging fifth of 11 in 6f Thirsk handicap four days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |

5th 4 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored four times (5f/6f) in 2025; shaped encouragingly when seventh of 11 in 6f Redcar handicap 22 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of passages; considered off a 2lb lower mark. |
10/1 |

Four wins last year, two of them coming here (5f-6f); usually seen in a lower grade though and he will need to leave his return to action well behind him. |

8st 8lb |
Four wins last May-July, with no joy since; he finished close up four and five starts back, acts on soft and is edging down the weights, but he was never dangerous in Westgate Warrior's C&D race two weeks ago. |

Four wins last May-July, with no joy since but he finished close up three and four starts back (his last two runs at 5f) before two lesser shows over 6f; beaten a head off this mark over C&D (good) in August, so a case can be made. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

9st 4lb |
13-race maiden; on a dangerous mark on last year's best but it's been tougher going this year and the drop to 6f/fitting of a visor didn't have the desired effect last time. |
14/1 |
|
6 (11) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
12-race maiden; in good form last summer but he failed to fire at Catterick last August and he hasn't threatened in two 1m handicaps this year; dangerous mark if the drop in trip and fitting of a visor perks him up; stable also run Canon's House. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |
6/1 |
|
6th 2 (10) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Ex-Declan Carroll; C&D winner last July (soft); below par at Beverley last week but comes into the reckoning on his two seconds over C&D in May (good). |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran who is a ten-time winner at Ripon, most recently last September; led for long way in small field over 6f here most recently and appears to retain a sizeable chunk of ability. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ten of his 12 wins have been at Ripon including seven on fast and slow ground over C&D; hasn't threatened in three runs this season but he was a respectable second at Catterick (6f) last time and he's in the mix back at this track. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
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. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has run some good races in big-field handicaps over C&D and this is her level; not far off her recent best at Carlisle 16 days ago; each-way shout if getting it right at the start. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in two big-field 6f Thirsk handicaps (both on good) this season and did well to finish fifth at Redcar in between, having lost significant ground at the start; still on workable mark; probably in the mix again. |
9/2 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution. |

He's produced some reasonable performances this season, including over 6f here, but he remains a maiden after 15 starts and needs something extra today in first-time cheekpieces. |

Two 5f wins last October (good/AW) and runner-up over that trip on last two starts (good/good to firm), finishing well each time and shaping as though this return to 6f is well worth exploring; could play a leading role if conditions suit; best turf efforts have come on good/good to firm. |

3lb lower than when winning at Catterick in April (5f, good); mainly disappointing since, although was only 2l behind Barmyblade (5lb worse off) when third at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm); well drawn and a possible. |

3rd 9 (16) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner last summer; landed a 5f handicap at Catterick off a 2lb higher mark in April but he hasn't come close to replicating it in six runs since; capable if breaking on terms but he carries some risk. |
16/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Scored at Catterick (5f) in April; below form since until hinting at a revival with fifth of nine in 5.5f Wetherby handicap one week ago, despite being very slowly away; this C&D winner needs considering. |
