9th 8 (20) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2022 and hasn't had the smoothest of passages in two attempts in this contest (finished 11th that year and tenth in 2023); losing run is mounting up, however, and he doesn't look particularly solid on his form for current stable. |
33/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he showed spark in Dubai this winter and ran big races on his two previous visits to York; returns to a handy on a fair mark and could have an each-way shout. |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He's run just once this year but that was a fairly encouraging performance when fifth of nine at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month; he could build on that and he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts over 6f and 7f; effective in big-field handicaps and not ruled out. |

5th 1 (3) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
The long-delayed return asks a pointed question but he has often won and gone well after shorter breaks than today and his 7f career includes wins in a top Ascot handicap and two Listed races (all on good); his claims can't be entirely waved away but he needs to be as good as ever to win. |
7/1 |

18th 11 (16) |
19th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won two 7f Listed races late last year; pretty much as good as ever this term, running respectably over this C&D in the Wokingham and finishing second in Group 2 City Of York; acts on soft ground but faces a stiff task in his first Group 1. |
66/1 |
