1st 4 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has done well since switched to Flat turf for his last two starts with the visor added, winning at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) in April before second of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month (winner followed up at Chester on Saturday); up just another 1lb and high on the list. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten a nose, a head and a neck in three bumpers; earned his mark over 1m and predictably did better upped in trip when scoring at Kempton (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in March; rebounded from a blip next time when going in again at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm; first-time visor) a fortnight ago; dam half-sister to St Leger winner Brian Boru and this new trip could unlock more again; key player. |

Has worn cheekpieces since switched to handicaps, winning at Kempton (1m3f) then below par at Lingfield, both on AW; may rebound and have more to offer, provided he responds well to the fitting of visor. |

12st 0lb |
Dug in to score on his last spin over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft; from 3lb lower) in December; runner-up three times in succession on the Flat at Beverley recently, beaten 2l there (1m4f; 13-8 favourite) just ten days ago. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

Sole win on the Flat came here over 1m2f in June 2024 and he's finished runner-up over this C&D on his last two outings; no reason why he can't go well again. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts in next two starts and he had an excuse here last time, when he got hampered by a faller; now only 1lb higher than for that last success and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |

10th 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Successful at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month and that has been followed by two solid runs, the latest at Beverley on Tuesday; one of three runners for Tim Easterby. |

Snapped a losing run when over C&D last month and the race didn't go smoothly for him when third at Redcar; considered. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley (7.5f-1m4f), the most recent coming last August off a 4lb higher mark than today's, and he posted a solid effort when third there over 1m2f two weeks ago; down the field over this C&D in June. |

3rd 4 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Six-time course winner and a regular here; beaten just over 2l over C&D last month when he was on the back foot after starting slowly; hard to rule out. |
8/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two handicaps last July (1m4f, good and 1m6f, firm); he has finished second in two of his three runs this year, latterly beaten a short-head at Leicester 11 days ago (1m4f, good to firm); had just one run on slower than good and finished well beaten, so conditions may be a concern. |

A dual 1m4f/1m6f winner last summer and back in decent form of late, fifth in 1m4f Beverley handicap 16 days ago; possibilities. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
She recorded the latest of her six wins when readily taking five-runner Carlisle handicap (1m3f, good) last month; not disgraced at York over an extended 2m on her next two starts and now drops back in trip and grade; acts on most ground and warrants consideration. |
8/1 |

6th 9 (9) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Behind a couple of these when fourth over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago but that was still a respectable run and she won at Carlisle (1m3f, good) prior to that; went close in this race in 2024; not ruled out. |
14/1 |

4th 6 (11) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Five-runner race at Carlisle (1m3f) last Saturday was first win since 2023 and she's a dependable sort who finished a C&D second (twice) and fourth in July 2024 and 2025 on her only three appearances at York; going back up 5lb since Carlisle seems to pose the difficulty but she should be on the premises. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Was attempting this far for the first time on the Flat when third of eight at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) at the start of the month, but only fourth of seven back there (1m4f) six days ago; worth another go at the trip and holds each-way claims. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Cattrick (1m4f, good) in April off a mark 3lb lower than today's and he caught the eye finishing strongly into third here over 2m a week ago; the drop back in trip doesn't look an obvious plus on that evidence but has to be respected. |
