3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won this last year off 7lb lower, when rank outsider in a small field; possible she didn't take to Ripon last time, after a career-best effort at Pontefract, but she's often done for early pace over this trip and needs to get it bang on off this mark. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Good record on turf for new yard, winning cosily at Pontefract 18 days ago (5f, good); a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

1st 4 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fine runner-up efforts on two of his three starts this year and should give it another good go if fully tuned after ten weeks off. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 with a win and better than ever when a close second of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) on reappearance; Thirsk was disappointing but that was a Class 4, so this is easier. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
6yo who has won three times this season, including over C&D in June and at Hamilton last month; remains well handicapped on his old form but he didn't shine at Thirsk last time and it would be a worry if the forecast rain arrives (all turf wins have been on good/good to firm). |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer and another of these having a good season; close up behind Accrual and Moulin Booj here last time and he's better off at the weights with both. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Prominent racer; thriving this season, winning three of his last five starts with the latest a cosy success at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he needs serious consideration; stable also runs American Bay. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Speedy mare but has done all of her winning on turf, albeit she has only had five opportunities on AW; back to her last winning mark but will be vulnerable to late closers. |
8/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time turf winner but unraced here; had the cheekpieces back on when always close up to finish second at Beverley last time out; same mark and no excuses on the draw front. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Notched her third Catterick win (6f, good) in April, since when she's been a bit below par with three fourth places; handles the 5f course here but needs a revival. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won three 5f AW handicaps in 2025, the latest off a 3lb higher mark; fair fourth at Chester last month and he should appreciate the return to AW; went close in one previous C&D run. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In good order on AW this winter; two turf runs this summer well short of that level though and others bring more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
10th 9 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Triple AW winner who scored on turf (5f, good) in June but his form has gone the wrong way in three subsequent runs; has something to prove and he needs a major revival after a laboured effort at Catterick last time. |
8/1 |
|
11th 9 (10) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Musselburgh in June; not so good twice since and he has a double-figure draw to defy this time. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time Wolverhampton winner who finally broke his duck on turf off 3lb lower a month ago (went close over C&D previously); things didn't pan out his way at Catterick last time and he's one to consider. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Pontefract in April and runner-up twice in a row in May; not written off but subsequent form has been mixed so he's not a solid option. |
6/1 |
|
10th 11 (11) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in April; beaten only a head over C&D off 1lb higher in May and arguably unlucky not to go close at the least over C&D again last time, finishing well for fourth having met trouble at a crucial stage; his draw isn't ideal but still respected. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Pontefract winner in April (5f, good to soft); two good runs in May, the first when second over this C&D; hasn't been in such good form on last two runs. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wildly inconsistent filly who's finished well held a few times since springing a 33-1 shock over C&D in March; it seems the positive early impact of the visor may have worn off. |
25/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Sprung a 33-1 surprise at Southwell last month (5f) but that has been followed by two disappointing runs; best turf form on good ground; others appeal more for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Opened her account for her current yard over C&D in March but bumped start when last of eight in 5f Wolverhampton handicap three days ago; it would come as no surprise to see her bounce back. |
8/1 |
