10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this term; 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; back in form when fourth at Goodwood last month and Jack Callan gets on well with him; yard going well; player. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
He's 2-5 for this yard, the wins over 1m on good to soft and good to firm; a slow start was no help last time at Thirsk but he might be high in the weights now. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Second at Thirsk before nosing home at Redcar (1m, good; 3lb lower) and not the first time she's been below par at Ripon a month ago; could easily bounce back from that. |
15/2 |
|
9th 9 (11) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
She's worked her way back into form and last month's second-place finish at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) was followed by a win at Redcar (1m, good); won on soft ground last September; respected up just 3lb for last time. |

Ran well in defeat at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) this month, despite racing too freely (without cover) in the early stages; remains well handicapped and features prominently in calculations. |

9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner at up to 8.5f, latest success being in April (8.5f, good to firm); fair form since including when 2l fourth here last time (7.5f, good to firm); tries this trip for first time. |

Four of his five wins have been at this track (two over C&D); returned to form following a couple of lesser efforts when fourth at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) eight days ago but he was behind Roaring Ralph on that occasion. |

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. |
11/2 |

4th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Won two 1m handicaps last summer at Ripon, from 25 races overall; backward steps in his three starts this season leave him 3lb below last winning mark but with plenty to prove currently. |

8.4f second or third last spring on his three outings at this track, twice from the front; two 1m wins at Ripon last summer, showing form which has not been recaptured this season but he has a competitive mark. |

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 |

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. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (7) |

Posted sound effort when third of 11 at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 11 days ago and competes off the same mark here but he's 0-15 now and not yet proven on ground slower than good. |

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). |

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). |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
11-race maiden; seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when respectable fifth of eight at Carlisle (7f, good) three weeks ago and ought to be suited by this return to 1m but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ten-race maiden who ended last season with a disappointing effort (1m) and has finished down the field on both appearances this term (1m/6f); needs first-time tongue-tie to make a difference. |
25/1 |
|
9th 11 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Not yet off the mark but he did run well in two 6f turf maidens (soft and good to firm) earlier in his career and the return to this trip may see more from him; this is competitive, though. |
