6th 6 (2) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Grand old veteran who can be forgiven his defeat in a Class 2 at York last time, having won at this level the time before at Beverley (2lb lower); had 119 races and yet this is his first visit here. |
16/1 |

18th 18 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Hugely admirable 12yo whose seven York wins include this race in 2019 and 2021, and he built upon last month's reappearance second at Ripon (5f, good) to win at Beverley (5f, good to soft) ten days ago; however, there's a suspicion he may find a big-field Class 2 such as this too hot nowadays. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Legendary 12yo who has won 18 of his 117 races; fine second at Ripon on reappearance (5f, good), rain will help and although yet to win in four runs here, wouldn't rule him out. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Gained a deserved success at Catterick (5f) in October and resumed from five months off with a good third of 14 in 5f Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark. |
4/1 |

3rd 11 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
A third representative in this field for Robert Cowell; came good at Catterick (5f, good) last autumn after several near misses; possibly found heavy ground against him at Doncaster on final start and has since been gelded; not ruled out if ready to do himself justice after a break. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has been running over further of late, looking to have no problem with 1m last month; pulled hard when below par last time and there are risks involved now first-time visored (has worn cheekpieces twice) dropped back to sprinting. |
6/1 |

10th 5 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins over 5f as a 2yo; has run some good races over 7f this spring, on AW and turf, and he kept on well enough when upped to 1m at Pontefract in April to make him worth another go at this trip; not ruled out. |

3rd 5 (1) |

It's now 15 starts since his last success but he comes here in good nick, finishing third on turf at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) and Leicester (7f, good) in recent weeks. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, though he got it right when recording his second C&D success last month (four of these behind); had excuses back here last time (blindfold removed late) and he's a big player if things pan out right this time. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Has eight wins but has become hard to win with for current yard this year, making the frame seven times without success; well-handicapped if he can just turn the corner. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made all for two short-odds wins at Ripon (6f/5f) in the summer, but was then only eighth of ten on handicap debut at Newmarket (6f; raced freely and faded) two weeks ago; hard to pin down at present but he's still low mileage and there's a reasonable chance we've not seen the best of him yet. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Unexposed 3yo who comes here after two short-odds wins from the front at Ripon (6f/5f); tackles stronger opposition on this handicap debut but it's very hard to gauge the limit of his ability. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Reappears off the mark she defied at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last May and has won first time up before; also a creditable third on previous C&D visit; no surprise were she to go well. |

9th 3 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who has mainly performed well since winning from 2lb lower at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May; possible excuses for her last two defeats and could go well back here. |

Returns from six weeks off but she was in good form when last seen, third at Beverley despite meeting trouble in running; should be thereabouts again, although plenty of rain would be a negative as she's been withdrawn several times due to soft/heavy ground. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; not the force of old but he showed there's still some fire in his belly with a fifth of 13 at Doncaster (5f, soft) three weeks ago off 2lb higher; has a win and a second from just two outings here; makes the shortlist. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |

4th 7 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

5th 4 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of three C&D starts (good and good to firm), the latest in July 2024; went very close to breaking the losing run when involved in a tight finish on Southwell AW in March; convincing claims. |
