Fair on the Flat in his prime but has a lowly mark in that sphere nowadays; ran well to a point on last month's hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) and might last longer on today's faster ground but others appeal more all the same. |

10st 7lb |
2m bumper win; 0-13 under Flat rules but runner-up at Southwell (1m4f) and Newcastle (1m) on two of his last three outings; tried 2m in between; beaten by just a head last time and has to be prominent in each-way calculations. |

Sole win in AW bumper in late 2020 but he went close off a reduced mark here recently (1m4f; first-time tongue-tie) when the subject of a major gamble; key player if he can back that up on the step up to 2m; cheekpieces on. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

On a modest run of form in final starts for Nigel Tinkler but better treated now than when going close over 1m3f at Southwell in December and new trainer is enjoying a good run; turnaround on the cards. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Easily best known for exploits at Bath, where he's been runner-up three times this season; 0-10 here, admittedly twice runner-up and also third of 15 in May (1m2f) but he may have to settle for another place return. |

Four course wins over 1m2f on fast ground; three solid efforts in defeat this year, again over 1m2f, and he has handled slow ground in the past; unlikely to be far away back at 1m. |

Little in her first five starts, but with cheekpieces added she ran much better when third of eight here (1m4f) eight days ago; still unexposed and would be a contender if building on that effort. |

Verdict
C&D winners Selecto and Vertice have something to prove although they are capable of making an impact on their best form. However, it may be worth taking a chance with SHEHARZ who showed much more when third in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton on Monday and remains unexposed after six starts. The main danger may be Selfish Brian whose last two outings have suggested this in-between trip could prove ideal. Strong Team and Raiff are others to consider.[David Bellingham]
