8th 5 (7) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Ripon (5f) in July but failed to beat a rival at Pontefract (5f) or Ripon (6f) on his last two outings; not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |
|
10th 4 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Maintained unbeaten Ripon record (3-3; all 5f) when seeing off Rock Of England and Mark's Choice in early July; ran respectably in Class 2 at Goodwood (5f) before toiling at Pontefract; fairly treated but effectiveness over 6f is questionable. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Soundly beaten over C&D (good to firm) two runs ago but prior to that he won at Ripon (5f, good), and he posted a respectable effort at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; he's won here four times; not ruled out. |

3rd 2 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made it four wins from his last eight starts when scoring at Ripon recently (5f, soft; versatile ground-wise); there's still mileage in his mark on his old form and this thriving 6yo could play another leading role. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
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). |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple course winner who also captured this event in 2025; yet to score this term but he has posted some solid placed efforts here and is best forgiven his latest C&D seventh when slowly away; can't be discounted. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time course winner who made a bold bid when runner-up in a 20-runner handicap here (6f, good) 16 days ago; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected back in trip; has won on good to firm and good to soft. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 20 (17) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Ten-time course winner; he has done enough this year to think he could add to that tally but this may prove too competitive for the veteran. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins this year, notably when seeing off 16 rivals in the 'Jump Jockeys' Nunthorpe' at York (5f, good to firm) in July; only ninth at Ripon and Chester since, though. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins this year, notably when seeing off 16 rivals in the 'Jump Jockeys' Nunthorpe' at York (5f, good to firm) in July; unplaced in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon four weeks ago; well drawn but a career best is required to win. |
11/2 |
|
9th 11 (14) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Fared best of the stands' side group when second in this race 12 months ago; races off 3lb higher this time around but he confirmed his liking for the track with a C&D win in April and he was better than ever when beating 16 rivals at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; high on the list. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Notched a third victory of the season at Hamilton (5f) in June; three times a runner-up since but beat just one in 5f handicap at Redcar last time; this C&D winner is the sort to bounce back though. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight wins in all, including three this April-June; she's mostly continued to run with credit (with three seconds) and should be close up. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner who has finished runner-up in three of her last four starts, including at Catterick (5f) last week; should be in the mix again and she won't mind what the weather does. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Found her level again lately, winning for Ethan Tindall at Ayr off 6lb lower before a lesser effort at a short price next time; been given a short break since and is fine on Tapeta, so needs factoring in to the equation. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who has returned to form on her last two starts, finishing third over C&D (good) then winning at Ayr (5f, good); remains well treated on her old form and she's respected. |
9/4 |
|
1st 7 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Thrown in on last summer's best form and there were clear signs of a revival with her third of six at Musselburgh (5f, good) eight days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb and she is one to be interested in. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Recorded his fourth win when taking five-runner Catterick handicap (5f, good to firm) in June but there have been diminishing returns subsequently; possible he prefers this sort of field size and there's nothing wrong with his mark if he can stage a revival. |
12/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Successful off this mark at Catterick (5f, good to firm) in June but he hasn't beaten many home in three runs since; has a C&D win to his name but soft ground not sure to suit and others are safer. |
20/1 |
|
10th 1 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two of his four wins have come over C&D, the latest in June off a 2lb lower mark; come up short in two Class 4 runs since; not discounted back down in grade. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's 8lb lower than when a close third on his reappearance at Pontefract in June but has been disappointing since; soundly beaten (hampered at start) on AW debut at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) on Saturday. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All ten runs have been on turf and both wins were in maiden/novice events at Ripon last summer; reappeared with a good third at Pontefract (5f, good) in June but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 8l at Ripon last time; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A dual winner here (including over C&D) in 2025; has failed to go on this season though and tongue-tie goes on after a below-par fifth of seven in 5f Nottingham handicap three weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Posted one of his better efforts last time but isn't certain to back it up, having proved far from consistent this term notwithstanding a success (off 6lb higher) in May. |
7/2 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Inconsistent this season but last two attempts in Class 5 comprise a success (off 4lb higher) and close second; drop back to this grade may have a positive effect. |
20/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in 2024; finished down the field in the Silver Cup at Ripon (6f, good) 11 days ago but he ran well at Thirsk (5f, good) the time before and should be happier back at 5f; others preferred, however. |
