2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Gained a second C&D success in June; not disgraced (in a change of headgear) with fifth of 12 in 1m2f classified event at Ayr 25 days ago; considered. |

5th 7 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up (beaten over 4l) in this last year, but yet to win on turf (0-17); gamely fended off the frustrating Little Ted at Newcastle (1m; 11-2) on penultimate start, but reportedly ran flat back there on latest; stable have more obvious chance with Wicklow Way. |

Held on gamely to make all in 1m handicap here last month and is now 2-31; evidently in good nick but this drop back in trip is not sure to suit. |

On the downgrade these days but his latest fourth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m, good) was a fair effort on Monday; will need more from the same mark but this stiffer test should suit. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance. |

Veteran who is a dual winner (including over C&D) here but his recent form is not so encouraging, just seventh of 13 in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 17 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

Narrowly repelled Up The Jazz at Ripon (1m, good) but only fifth off this career-high mark (5lb rise) back there a month ago; he's been a bit up and down this season. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
In good heart this season and he returned to winning ways over C&D (good) last Monday; a 5lb rise takes this 5yo to a career-high mark but he has a solid record here and could be firmly in the shake-up once more. |
3/1 |

1st 6 (9) |

Respectable fifth at Beverley three days ago; largely solid record at Ripon features a success in 2024 and peak effort this season (close second in early June); likely player returned to this course. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Won two fillies' handicaps (7f and 1m) at Newcastle in November but has lost her form in recent AW starts; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf and step up in trip sparks a revival. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent dual winner who coped well with the rise in class when pushing a well-handicapped winner all the way at Ayr six days ago (1m, good; goes on all surfaces); not ideally drawn out in 15 but plenty to like otherwise. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Likeably consistent dual winner who won't mind what the weather does, with recent seconds at about 1m coming on soft and good to firm; pretty solid, other than this is a step up in class. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Off the mark when winning at Southwell (1m, AW) in May and followed up over this C&D next time (good); has posted two good placed efforts since, the most recent at Chester (7.5f, soft) last month off a 2lb lower mark than today's, and makes the shortlist. |

Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Three-time winner (8.5f-1m2f) who is often slowly away; ran well when third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last time in a race won by a subsequent winner; has since left Iain Jardine having been bought for £5,000; has the hood removed for his stable debut and has stamina to prove. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

50/1 |

7 (7) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |

Made an encouraging start in handicaps when third at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last March but she's had only two runs since and has finished out the back in both of them; still lightly raced but has plenty to prove on second run for current yard. |

Acts on good to firm and soft; all five wins have been on turf and he's scored three times since May including at Redcar (1m2f, good) last Saturday; that was a narrow success but he's only 2lb higher and he has won at Ripon in the past; key player. |

Recorded his second win over C&D (good to firm) in May and followed up at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) the following month; has been in a battle with the handicapper since and probably needs to come down a few pounds. |

Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Had one run (1m2f, AW) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and sold for 15,000gns in November; that debut was a lot better than his two runs this spring, in demanding company admittedly but he lacks solid claims for handicap debut. |
