15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Ripon (5f) in July but failed to beat a rival at Pontefract (5f) or Ripon (6f) on his last two outings; not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |

10th 4 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Maintained unbeaten Ripon record (3-3; all 5f) when seeing off Rock Of England and Mark's Choice in early July; ran respectably in Class 2 at Goodwood (5f) before toiling at Pontefract; fairly treated but effectiveness over 6f is questionable. |
16/1 |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Soundly beaten over C&D (good to firm) two runs ago but prior to that he won at Ripon (5f, good), and he posted a respectable effort at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; he's won here four times; not ruled out. |

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. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Last scored in July 2024 but he was running respectably this year until a lesser effort at Beverley last month; had an excuse that day (anticipated the start and missed the break) and he's on a tempting mark; considered. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in fine form with 5f handicap wins at Pontefract and Thirsk (raced alone) recently; not disgraced when eighth of 16 in 5f handicap at Doncaster 13 days ago; needs considering eased 1lb. |
11/1 |
|
8th 13 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Fell to career-low mark before winning at Pontefract in June and Thirsk (also 5f, good) in August; latter was best form since April 2024 and he's gone back up another 6lb, but this hat-trick seeker demands some respect. |
11/1 |

1st 6 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Off a reduced mark he won a 5f handicap at Pontefract (good ground) 54 days ago; still has handicapping scope off 3lb higher. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
C&D win on soft last November; a couple of promising efforts this year and further rain won't hurt his chance; would be of more interest at a lower level though. |

7th 6 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Proficient with cut underfoot (achieved three RPRs in 90s on soft/heavy, 5f-6f); absent since finishing third to Rock Of England at Ripon (5f, good) in June; capable from this mark if ready to roll; consult the market. |

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. |
