17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Exposed seven-time winner; last win in July was off 3lb lower and when partnered by a 5lb claimer; good third last time at Thirsk when not helped by the drop back to 7f, but others are more tempting. |
8/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only six ran when he won over 1m here in August (Class 5) and he has come up short in Class 4 events twice since; others may have his measure back at 7f. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month; only sixth off this mark at Redcar last Saturday but the fact he won this race off 2lb higher last year provides hope; draw could have been kinder. |

10th 5 (11) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a solid record and steadily progressive RPRs; won well at Thirsk (good) on penultimate start, then finished 1l second to Monoceros at Haydock (again over 1m; soft) latest; in the mix. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Likeably consistent and overcame a wide draw with ease at Thirsk 22 days ago (1m, good) to earn this 9lb higher mark; that asks questions of him back in a higher grade, but the chances are he's very progressive; fine on soft ground. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (15) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent dual winner who coped well with the rise in class when pushing a well-handicapped winner all the way at Ayr six days ago (1m, good; goes on all surfaces); not ideally drawn out in 15 but plenty to like otherwise. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Ended a long losing run at Carlisle (1m, good) in September and ran creditably when third at Ayr next time; arrives in form but he's 0-8 here and fully exposed. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (11) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Snapped a losing run dating back to June 2024 when holding on by a neck at Carlisle (1m, good) last week; generally consistent but hardly has the profile of one likely to follow up under a 4lb penalty. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Generally consistent this year but Sunday's York run was a big step backwards; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he has a modest strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won at Thirsk (1m) in April and now back to the same mark after ten defeats since; creditable fourth over C&D when last seen 18 days ago but this is more competitive. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Scored at Thirsk (1m) in April and mainly in good form since, though beat just two in 1m handicap back there last time; no surprise to see her bounce back, though. |
7/1 |

13th 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
One of two wins came over C&D (April); some good runs in the meantime and has a handy draw to work from. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still seeking a first handicap success and this year's record has been patchy; down in the weights but hopes appear to rest on this first crack at sprinting sparking something extra. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ripon novice (1m) in 2024 is his only win from 16 races; inconsistent this year but way down the weights and fourth of 19 at Redcar (1m) last time was a reminder that he can be competitive on turf; much more to prove on his slight AW record; hooded first time today. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (12) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won a Ripon novice (1m, good) in August 2024, but he's 0-12 since and was tailed off in a similar race at Thirsk (16-1) last time; down the list. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Cashed in on a reduced mark when a dual 1m/1m2f scorer at Redcar this summer; poorly drawn when well held at Beverley (1m2f) last time and this course winner can bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 (11) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 8yo who has been successful at Redcar (1m2f/1m, good) in two of his last three outings, latest comfortably on Tuesday; looks well treated under 4lb penalty turned out quickly. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways over 1m2f here in August and backed it up with a solid fourth of seven in 1m2f Ripon handicap two weeks ago; not out of things with usual cheekpieces refitted. |
8/1 |
