29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her two turf wins (1m4f/1m6f) last summer, but she's been out of sorts in last four runs and was beaten 11l at Yarmouth last time; has something to prove and she needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
An 8yo who hasn't been at her best of late, on slow and fast ground; however, very capable off this sort of mark if staging a revival. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ran with credit when fourth of nine at Yarmouth (1m6f, soft) last month and does handle testing ground, but looks better on a faster surface; 5lb lower than for the latest of two wins around this time last year and one for the shortlist. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
She recorded the latest of her six wins when readily taking five-runner Carlisle handicap (1m3f, good) last month; not disgraced at York over an extended 2m on her next two starts and now drops back in trip and grade; acts on most ground and warrants consideration. |
8/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
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 |

4th 6 (11) |
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. |

29th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Defied long absence to win on stable debut (1m6f, AW) last November and returned from break with close third at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; has gone very close over 2m in the past; one to be interested in. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (8) |
31st May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Long absence before Wolverhampton win (1m6f, AW) in November on stable debut; below form at Chelmsford in December after racing too freely; lightly raced but his solitary run on turf was satisfactory debut in 2019. |
9/1 |

17th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Returned from long absence to win quite comfortably at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on stable debut in November; well below that form after racing too freely over same C&D in December and not an easy one to predict here but today's trip/surface combination won't be a problem and he's still lightly raced for his age. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf last August and latest was off 2lb lower; generally disappointing since last success but he made some late headway when fourth at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was more like it and he has each-way claims if he can build on that. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made light of a lengthy absence when winning over C&D (good to soft; made most) from Locked Down Lad and Highbury Hill in November but he couldn't repeat the form at Fontwell (about 2m1f, heavy; has form on that surface) last month; well worth another chance back over C&D. |

21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

Started out in bumpers and was well held in his first six starts but he shaped with promise when a fading fourth in a Leicester handicap (1m4f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and could be dangerous if he can build on that back in trip; all of his turf runs have been on good/good to firm. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |
