2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
One of three wins came over C&D in July of last year (promoted after dead-heating); solid runs in his last three races, two at Chester; tactically versatile and should be in the mix; first-time headgear. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gradually coming back to form this term and last two efforts, both at Chester, can be marked up (met late trouble latest); remains on last winning mark and he is 1-1 over C&D (novice success two years ago); respected assuming fortune is back on his side. |

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 |

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. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-race maiden but showed improvement on his AW/handicap debut up in trip when third of 14 at Southwell (1m3f) three weeks ago; up 2lb with the promise of more to come. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (12) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well when last of three on his seasonal return at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) last month in first-time cheekpieces, which are back on here after running below that level at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) since; looks the type to do better stepped up in trip here on his AW/handicap debut. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Second off this mark to a useful prospect last time and that was better, having run Flat at Chester and then over-raced and not seen out 1m4f at York; had plenty of racing this last year and this, however, and remains vulnerable to improvers. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Said to have run flat at Chester before over-racing and not seeing out 1m4f last time; it's likely this mark is within range but she had plenty of racing last year and has again this term, and she's vulnerable to improvers now. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |

Novice win last October; has come up well short in Class 4 handicaps this term (modest fourth last time; gelded since) but may fare better off a reduced mark at this lower level. |
4/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sent off 2-7 when slamming three rivals by upwards of 5l in an Ayr novice (1m, heavy) last October, but well held in two York handicaps (1m4f/1m2f) last month (behind Stoneacre Donny on both occasions); needs more. |

Hung left but took form to a new level when off the mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in June; patience has been needed in pursuit of similar ground but considered from 5lb higher; trainer won this last year. |

0-5 and hasn't progressed but ran respectably when third of six in Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) last Wednesday; has run well on good to soft (unraced on softer); could have a part to play. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a promising start when sixth of ten on her debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last September, but below that level in two runs this summer; maybe the switch to handicaps will see her in a better light. |
14/1 |

8th 9 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Promise in two fillies' maiden runs 236 days apart (7f, good to firm and 1m, AW) but likely to be seen to better effect when handicapping. |

Barak Warrior
Verdict
The majority of these have something to recommend them but the suggestion is NORTHERN BRAVE, who’s taken to build on his revived second last time. Prince Of Calypso is on the up and can chase the selection home, while Valley Of Flowers, among others, is also much respected.[Richard Russell]
