1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A dual winner here (including over C&D) in 2025; has failed to go on this season though and tongue-tie goes on after a below-par fifth of seven in 5f Nottingham handicap three weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
15/2 |

5th 6 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Decent comeback effort off a 3lb higher mark in June but has struggled twice since, losing his unbeaten Ripon record as favourite before finishing a remote last of four latest; something to prove now. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins at Ripon (6f, soft and 5f, good) last summer; good run over 5f here on his seasonal return in June; backwards step at Ripon latest; others look more persuasive. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
4yo with only six races behind him and has gone 2-3 in handicaps with narrow verdicts at Thirsk and Musselburgh (again 5f, good); essentially 5lb higher than last time as Zak Wheatley claimed 3lb that day, but he's got a good draw and first-time headgear; respected. |

1st 2 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who led close home to take 17-runner Thirsk handicap (5f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2-5; probably still has more to offer and commands respect. |
9/4 |

1st 4 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Unexposed after just four runs; consistent form in 5f novices last term and made an encouraging reappearance/handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) five weeks ago, fading having had the worst of the draw; remains open to improvement and high on the list. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won debut at Ascot (5f, soft) in sole 2yo start; missed 2024 but made a respectable return at Ripon, only to find the tough 6f on Newcastle AW stretching him in August; has potential back at 5f on handicap debut. |
9/2 |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made a bright start with his 5f win at Ascot (soft) in May 2023; didn't return to the track until this month but he showed promise again when third at Ripon (5f, good); entitled to be sharper for the run and bold show looks assured now stepping up to 6f. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
55,000gns Land Force colt who made a bright start with his 5f win at Ascot (5f, soft) in May 2023; been on the sidelines since then but he recorded an RPR of 86 on his debut and needs a close look on his comeback. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The handicapper has been in command this summer and although he didn't run badly at Doncaster 19 days ago, he will need more for the switch to AW. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
0-7; respectable comeback at Nottingham (5f, good; fourth, beaten 3l) in May, but hasn't built on that, including in blinkers (discarded) the last twice; tough to say how he'll fare on first go at 7f; safer options elsewhere. |
6/1 |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Best run was his second in a novice last season but only three ran; opposable on his handicap form and blinkers did nothing last time. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has failed to beat a rival in his two maidens or a novice, the last two attempts in five-runners races over 5f; no form claims but at least going handicapping should help. |
50/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Huge prices for two starts this summer, finishing a remote last on each occasion; wouldn't need to improve much to holds place claims though. |
33/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Big price and finished last of 11 on recent Yarmouth debut (7f, good); now switches to sprinting and he needs to leave that initial form miles behind. |
