31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time course winner who made a bold bid when runner-up in a 20-runner handicap here (6f, good) 16 days ago; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected back in trip; has won on good to firm and good to soft. |

2nd 20 (17) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Ten-time course winner; he has done enough this year to think he could add to that tally but this may prove too competitive for the veteran. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

Ripon specialist (ten wins at that track); run down only by Reigning Profit and Rock Of England when attempting to win the race named in his honour there (5f) 26 days ago; no issue with this return to 6f and has been placed here previously. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) 13 days ago; not out of things despite a 5lb weights rise. |
10/1 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Better known for his exploits over further but he ran well for second in a C&D handicap last August; several good runs in defeat this year but this looks a competitive race in which to end a two-year drought. |
10/1 |
|
4th 15 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Without a win since August 2024 but he's been in good form since this visor went on, bumping into an unexposed 3yo when second of four at Catterick (7f, good to firm) and again finishing runner-up at Chester (7.5f, good) last time; in each-way calculations once more. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
A five-time scorer in 2025, including over C&D; runner-up in 6f handicaps at York and Redcar this summer and not ideally drawn with 14th in 6f Ripon handicap last time; not ruled out. |
25/1 |
|
14th 5 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when third of 15 in this race last year; yet to strike in 2026 but there have been some good runs along the way, including his last two starts; looks the likeliest to grab the far rail if the field split into two groups; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had a fine year in 2025, winning five times; in and out this year but his latest York second (of 19) was a fine run and he needs serious consideration despite a 3lb rise. |

9st 6lb |
Still to win a handicap and has had plenty of chances for this yard; fair effort over C&D last time (behind Hectic) and is 2lb lower but he's some way down the pecking order. |
20/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Seven wins include three on turf and it was a first success at 7f when scoring at Newcastle (AW; stays 1m) in December; took a good step forward from his return to turf when a keeping-on fourth at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; respected. |
6/1 |

4th 11 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
A three-time 6f/7f scorer in 2025; kept busy and in good form (on the AW) this term until only 16th in 7f York handicap eight days ago; he's the type to bounce back though. |
16/1 |
|
16th 18 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced almost exclusively on Newcastle's AW since joining Phil Kirby last autumn, winning three times (6f/7f) and placed on six other occasions, including last four starts; three 6f turf wins earlier in career (including here on good to firm) provide hope that he can continue the good work now back on the grass. |

Prominent racer; dropped right away at Lingfield last week (6f) and the widest stall won't make life easy this time. |

9th 4 (3) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Made all to win a 6f handicap at Ripon in April off this mark; dips back into Class 5 company for the first time since; well drawn to attack and she's not ruled out. |
8/1 |

6th 5 (11) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
3yo whose best efforts this season have come here, winning over C&D (good) in April and going close over C&D (good) in June; fourth of 15 over C&D ten days ago and she's firmly in calculations. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
1-21; close fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; from 7lb higher) in April; has lost his way since, failing to beat many in 5f contests at Pontefract, Beverley, and Chester; questions to be answered for the time being. |
20/1 |

9th 10 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only run to form once in four runs back on turf this summer and that was over 6f; still 1lb higher than for his AW win in December; others appeal more. |

9th 5 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Blitzed his rivals at Southwell in December (5f) when a visor was first used; mostly creditable efforts since until down the field at Pontefract on latest; needs to bounce back from that. |

Ended 2024 with a pair of soft-ground 6f wins at Catterick, the second of them off 13lb higher; handicapper has held the upper hand this year but conditions will suit and he helps form a strong hand for Tim Easterby. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
The step up to 7f didn't bear fruit at Haydock three weeks ago but she had been placed in 6f handicaps in her two previous starts; 2lb lower than for her last win; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
10th 5 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Came from the back of the field to win here (6f, good) last July and she's been a good third on her last two starts (6f, good/good to firm); kept on well at Newbury last time and now has a belated second crack at 7f, which is well worth a go; she's one to consider. |
9/1 |

Bettered disappointing seasonal debut when third of five at Nottingham (6f, good) last month and is now 1lb lower than when winning from off the pace at Haydock (6f, good) last summer; no surprise if she features. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

No longer the force of old but bettered his poor seasonal debut when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to lurk on a dangerous mark and is well worth another crack at this sort of trip; no surprise if he features. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Difficult to recommend judged on last five starts, in which he's beaten very few opponents; supporters will cling to the hope that blinkers (replacing a visor) will help and that his two successes have come at Catterick. |

22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Below par on his last four starts, but Catterick (5f, good) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction and he won there (6f, good to soft) in July on his last encounter with slow ground; not ruled out. |

Scored at Leicester (6f) in April; running well since and just edged out when third of 26 in 6f Goodwood handicap 23 days ago; that form is proving very strong, so he merits serious consideration despite 2lb rise. |

The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; respectable sixth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago but suspicion he'll prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |
