18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Hard-fought win back over hurdles at Hexham (2m) before a 10l defeat returned to fences; no great significance in the return of cheekpieces (blinkered last two races) but entitled to have some say. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race off today's mark a year ago (good; first-time blinkers) and reverts to chasing after hard-fought hurdle win here (2m, good; refitted blinkers) a fortnight ago; obvious contender. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Won over fences here (2m, good; in first-time blinkers - two finished) last June; runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f) in April, but low key at Kelso subsequently; returns to hurdles for the first time since finishing tailed off over C&D last October; others more appealing. |

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. |
13/2 |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Five-time winner who hasn't won since 2023 but she's run with credit on many subsequent occasions, including on her only visit here when second under Joanna Mason in this race last year; back in form on her last two starts and she's in calculations. |
4/1 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |

No win since completing a three-timer at 1m4f-2m in the autumn of 2023; however, she ran her best race of the year when going close at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; has a good run in her back up in trip. |

Yet to win after nine attempts over hurdles and could do with settling better, which was again evident when pulled up last time over 2m3f; not at all badly treated on his placed efforts should he give himself a chance. |

Yet to win after eight attempts over hurdles but frequently placed and made a most encouraging return from a long absence when a staying-on third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August; has been given plenty of time to get over that run and he's one of the likelier ones off the same mark back down in distance. |

Dual winner over 1m4f at Leicester last summer; didn't really take to hurdling in the autumn and is yet to hit top gear since returned to the Flat in May but his recent Nottingham fourth (1m6f, good) was a good step back in the right direction. |

Two wins over 1m4f at Leicester (good to firm/good to soft) last summer; didn't really take to hurdles in the autumn and had excuses when tailed off on last month's Doncaster return, but is still 4lb above his last winning mark so he needs to find a bit more; cheekpieces return. |
