14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |
9/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win in novice company at Lingfield (6f, AW) in December; returned with a respectable sixth of 18 in 6f Ascot handicap (good to firm) five weeks ago and he's entitled to build on that now stepping back up in trip. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning a 6f novice at Lingfield (AW) in December; upped 4lb for that but he is unexposed as a sprinter and he makes more appeal than many. |

1-16 shot when he won a weak novice at Chelmsford in November (7f, AW) but he hasn't kicked on in three handicaps subsequently and it was a heavy defeat at Newbury 19 days ago; drop in grade with first-time cheekpieces the straws to clutch at. |

10st 2lb |
Wins for Michael Dods came on soft (2yo debut) and good to soft, and he hung left both runs on good to firm; 4lb higher than his last winning mark and returns from ten months off, having been picked up for 1,000gns; hard to find many positives. |
12/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Added a first handicap success over C&D (good to soft) in July to go with his debut win here; may have found the ground too lively when below that form at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) since and must be respected back here. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced maiden; creditable show over 1m on Southwell AW when returning from absence last October but he dropped right out over 7f at Musselburgh (hood added, now discarded) recently; has question marks now but he had 6f form as a 2yo so the return to shorter is surely worth a go. |
10/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who returned from an absence to finish runner-up off 2lb higher on his 1m Southwell handicap debut last October; too keen when failing to reproduce that form in two subsequent AW outings around the turn of the year but possible he could pack more punch at the finish if a first-time hood (combined with tongue-tie) helps him to settle better; runner-up on turf (good to firm) as a juvenile. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice on AW for this yard last year; yet to be placed from five runs on turf and runs off his highest mark; may be better for the run. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Made a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton in July (7f); two solid efforts have followed and the return of cheekpieces could help squeeze out the requisite improvement. |

Two of her four wins have came at this track, one over today's distance; fourth in both starts this year but may be vulnerable to younger rivals. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained last season's win over 1m2f and made an encouraging reappearance when finishing strongly for close fourth over 7f at Chepstow (good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by this move back up in trip and remains on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained three of her eight wins over this C&D and has slipped to a good mark, but ended last season on a low note and last month's reappearance run was also disappointing; needs to get back in the groove. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who has been absent since two below-par runs last summer; however, this course winner is 4lb lower than when a close third at Kempton (1m, AW) on her reappearance last May and is not discounted on her return. |

Surprise winner of a heavy-ground 0-55 handicap over C&D last autumn; didn't offer a lot on her comeback early in the month and is hard to recommend after that. |
16/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Opened his account for current yard at Ffos Las (7f) in September but off since beating one in 7f Wolverhampton handicap following month; needs to hit the ground running on his seasonal return. |

Betting Forcast
20/1 Follow Your Heart, 11/8 Tokyo Joe, 6/1 Freddies Star, 9/2 Mayberry Moon, 12/1 Counting Cards, 13/2 Dandy G Boy, 14/1 Spirit Of The Bay, 20/1 Redredrobin, 12/1 Kaleidoscope Eyes
Verdict
This doesn’t look overly competitive and the standout contender is TOKYO JOE (nap) who held his own in a higher grade last time at York. Mayberry Moon is a dual winner who made a positive start for Thomas Faulkner, while Counting Cards has the form to feature if his new trainer can turn his fortunes around.[Alistair Jones]
