5th 2 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Below best at Leicester recently; had won two of his three 6f starts previously but he hasn't run on the AW for over a year and has been better on Polytrack than Tapeta in the past. |

3rd 7 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who is a ten-time winner at Ripon, most recently last September; led for long way in small field over 6f here most recently and appears to retain a sizeable chunk of ability. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ten of his 12 wins have been at Ripon including seven on fast and slow ground over C&D; hasn't threatened in three runs this season but he was a respectable second at Catterick (6f) last time and he's in the mix back at this track. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Standing dish at Ripon, where he's recorded ten of his 12 wins; his 71st start is his first here; below par in both starts this season; drops 2lb but perhaps needs further favours from the handicapper to win again. |

2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won this race in 2022 as a 5yo; no sign of his enthusiasm waning this year, winning three 6f handicaps, and stepping back up in trip will suit after two good 5f efforts last month; chance. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ideally suited by an easy 6f or stiff 5f and knows how to win; turned in a solid effort at his beloved Sandown last weekend and remains reliable despite his age, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple winner but went up 6lb for his 2l win at Haydock and that counted when fifth at Catterick; however, he does have a very solid record here. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; however, failed to build on reappearance when well last of six over C&D at the end of May so his hopes are pinned on a change of stable (has left Stephen Hanlon) sparking a return to form. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; not ground dependent; has been well below par in both starts since last winning (for Ann Duffield) here last September; not ruled out back here with 7lb claimed but it will need one of his better efforts from this mark. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner in October 2024 and won twice at Catterick last summer; never showed when beating only one rival over C&D when last seen in November; best watched for new trainer after break. |
20/1 |
