11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

He has been threatening to add to his six wins, with a third at Pontefract and second at Thirsk on his last two starts; on the downside he has been unplaced in all seven visits to York. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He has run well over C&D in the past, including in May, and he didn't run badly when third of six in a Class 3 handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago; each-way shout. |

Comfortably beat Rock Opera over C&D in spring 2025, albeit was in better form at the time, that success the middle leg of a hat-trick; not solid on 2026 results but has slipped to an attractive mark. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

9st 11lb |
All three wins on turf have come at Catterick; returned from a break with a close fourth there (7f, good to firm) last month but she failed to back that up at Thirsk (eighth of nine) last time; has something to prove again after that and others are preferred. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 7f this year, two of them here, and he turned in another solid effort at Southwell 38 days ago (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (7) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner, but has raced exclusively over 7f since December and was successful over that distance here four weeks ago; has to prove he still has the speed for this trip, but his course record makes him hard to dismiss. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |

Eight wins on the AW include three at this track (6f/7f), the last win coming off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton last month; ran well when runner-up here 16 days ago and there's no reason why he can't go well again. |

On a dangerous mark and conditions should be fine but this veteran has not won since last autumn and he's been well held in his last three runs; others look stronger. |

Won twice last July, including when beating 17 rivals in the corresponding race (good ground; 2lb lower today); arrived in better form last year but she can't be discounted. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to strike form after two 5f runs this season; now 2lb lower than for the second of last summer's two 6f wins, though, and it probably won't be much longer before she gets back in the groove. |

Last summer's two wins came over 6f, the second of them off this mark; should come on for her recent return to action but others appeal more for win purposes. |

Not shown much in two starts on the AW since returning in March and just 3-50, but he was placed in all four starts in handicap company here (6f) last year; just about stays this far; shortlisted. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Pretty consistent last spring-autumn but doesn't win very often and made a low-key reappearance over C&D last month; needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing. |

17th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Ran okay behind Blackcurrent here last month but he's since finished tailed off over 7f at Catterick; each-way claims if on a good day. |
12/1 |

9th 9 (5) |
23rd Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Lost his way from the end of June onwards until staging a partial revival at Newcastle latest (6f), rallying close home; losing run of 30 is off-putting. |
