17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 in 5f handicap at Ripon 11 days ago; usual visor goes back on now and this four-time C&D scorer is not out of things under a 4lb penalty. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Markedly more exposed than Goyard but is similar in one respect, being 2-2 at Ripon; recent form is respectable enough to put him in calculations off a workable mark back at this course. |
11/2 |

6th 7 (8) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back from below-par run at York with close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good) on Sunday, and his best run this season came when close second of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; not ruled out back here. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Good second over C&D in June before winning decisively at Pontefract the following month; not at his best here last month (5.4f, good) but he wasn't ideally drawn; still has relatively low mileage and needs consideration. |
10/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in small fields this summer and only six ran when he was second at Pontefract three weeks ago (5f, good to firm); showed he could be effective in a bigger field when second of 15 over 5f here in June but he's 9lb higher today. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
17th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Had a near miss in a big field at York in June (5f, good to firm); hit with a 5lb rise for that but made light of it with a ready C&D win last month (good); failed to pick up on slower ground when favourite at Goodwood 17 days ago but wouldn't hold that against him; unexposed at 5f. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
On a near two-year losing spell but he's a four-time C&D winner and can't be dismissed off his reduced mark; made the frame in last two starts, latest back at Pontefract. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
9yo who is on an 18-race losing run; good second over C&D last July (good to firm) and is now 3lb lower. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Placed a few times this season, including when favourite at Catterick last time; back up in grade but he's 3lb below last winning mark and seems to have a fighting chance. |
10/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner off 1lb higher last September; two good runs when third at Ripon in April (5f, good) and at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) last month but he hasn't done as well since. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Can lead; smart 2yo who began 3yo season on a mark of 102; has shown just humdrum form in three turf handicaps, despite a sliding mark, and was way back behind Justcallmepete at Bath last week; has it to prove now. |
10/1 |
|
11th 5 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount. |
