2nd 6 (3) |
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. |

3rd 3 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet a year since he almost defied 8lb higher on quick turf (1m); mixed bag since, and hard to find any benefit from a third wind operation in the winter, but he's too well treated not to bear in mind at least. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who dipped into a seller for his latest win, at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; current handicap mark is workable but his AW strike-rate is 0-13 and he needs to rebound from two down-the-field runs. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Veteran who won a Beverley seller in July; some fair handicap runs since but others may have his measure back on AW (0-12 in this sphere). |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
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 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick of wins in this race a year ago (good to firm; 2lb lower mark); not in such good form this season and probably best watched for now. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran up a four-timer around this time last year, including two course wins, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; back in form last time and has a fair chance of making it 4-8 round here. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins on AW and 0-18 on turf; a couple of Pontefract runs this spring that bring him into the reckoning and this is effectively his first run at this level since winning at Newcastle in December; should run his race. |
7/2 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins on AW but 0-17 on turf; second and third over C&D in the spring off slightly higher marks than this, before lesser efforts elsewhere on last two outings; well treated if back on song. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins on AW but 0-16 on turf; twice placed at Pontefract this season but he needs to rebound from a lacklustre effort at Ripon (1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Ripon (1m, soft; Barley was second) last July off a mark 8lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner; creditable second in this race in 2022 and 2025 but on both occasions he was in better form at the time; out of sorts since his last success. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (13) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained most recent success off 3lb higher last July, enhancing his good record at Ripon; not in anything like the same form since; difficult to support with confidence. |
16/1 |
