5th 3 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
15/8 |

2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Notched a second win of 2026 at Redcar (1m) in July and backed it up with a good third of 11 in 1m Southwell handicap 26 days ago; considered. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but she's won twice on turf this season including an apprentice handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last Wednesday; 0-7 on AW but she has form over C&D and is a big player off the same mark as last time (due to be 2lb higher in future). |
4/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent over this C&D in May off a 3lb lower mark; ran well at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in July but needs to bounce back from a poor run at York (1m) four days ago. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Course regular who has registered four wins and five places from 21 starts here, including when scoring over 8.5f in April; has proved his stamina for 1m2f since July and has soft ground form too; may well make an impact. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark for the year at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in April and he has run several good races in defeat since; he should be in the thick of the action once more. |
9/2 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins here and nearly made that five last month on two occasions, since when he's again gone close at Pontefract; likely contender off the same mark as for last two runs. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Ripon winner last summer who's regressed and run below market expectations on last two starts; this is easier off a career-low mark (9lb lower than when last successful) but he could have done without the recent rain. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins at Ripon over 1m last year (good/good to firm); respectable fourth of nine at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May but he's yet to build on that in four starts since; others look stronger. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins over 1m at Ripon last season (good/good to firm); a bit disappointing this term (4l fourth of seven at Pontefract latest) but on a good mark now. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
18-race maiden but he was in good form prior to a lesser effort at Redcar (1m1f, good to firm) last month; may be able to bounce back but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Is 0-17 but he arrives in good form, placed for third consecutive start when runner-up in 1m2f Ayr handicap (Shifter third) two weeks ago; 1lb worse off with that rival here but he can go very well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Is 0-16 but he arrives in good form, not seen to ideal effect when a running-on third of nine over C&D 16 days ago; well in the mix from the same mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole turf win came off 2lb lower in this race last year, when with Ann Duffield, and he is 1lb below his last winning mark; interesting to see how he fares in the market on his first start for Ivan Furtado (same owners). |
12/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who is yet to score but has shown ability across his six starts; latest third of 11 at Chester (7.5f, soft; acts on quicker) was a respectable effort and it's impossible to say he's not capable of better. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Faded into 3l fifth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham in April and this headstrong sort also looked stretched by 1m at Thirsk last time; the return to shorter looks the right move for this lightly raced 4yo, who is a possible player. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, the latest coming at Bath (1m, good) in April off a 2lb lower mark; had an excuse when below his best at Thirsk and bounced back to form when third of seven behind Jack Sparowe at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 24 days ago; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden but he has finished runner-up three times; mostly disappointing this year but it was a respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft; Idyllic was second) last time; this extra furlong doesn't look sure to suit, however. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
12-race maiden who has basically been disappointing this season (four runs; 6f-1m); moves up in trip with quite a bit to prove. |
