21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Typical of a Prescott handicapper to have graduated from a low level to where he is now, and he could have done with faster ground when beaten 12l in last season's Cesarewitch (soft); plenty to like about his reappearance run under a big weight at Goodwood (2m, good) and he gave the impression he'd stay all day when winning over Pontefract's stiff 2m2f last season (good to firm); one of the more appealing each-way options. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Successful six times during a spell as a classic Prescott improver; limitations somewhat exposed in Class 2 events (including two major handicaps) subsequently; a possible danger back down in grade. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Three Class 5 C&D wins, the latest by a nose on penultimate start; ran respectably in a Class 2 C&D contest (fourth, 16-1) latest; likely to give his best, although others make more appeal. |

Behind New York Minute at Southwell before edging home in a Class 5 over C&D; will do well to follow up in this higher grade. |

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 |

1st 3 (5) |
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 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |

Never figured over hurdles last month on stable debut and return from long absence; not seen on Flat since 2018; best watched. |

8th May 2024 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Easy win in a Newton Abbot seller (2m2f, good) for Dan Skelton in September 2022 but he's not been since then; well treated on his old handicap form but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has something to prove for new yard after a long absence. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |
20/1 |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft, best form on faster ground; 0-9 this season but nearly won at Musselburgh in August; stiff task last time; three-time Pontefract scorer and looks interesting off a workable mark back here. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Belied his 125-1 odds with an encouraging effort over 1m4f here two weeks ago on return from layoff; shaped as if this step back up in distance would suit; possibilities off same mark. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Flat/hurdles winner in Britain and Flat/bumper scorer in Germany; beaten long way in two handicap hurdles for Milton Harris back on British soil, latest nine months ago; similar profile to Cabrakan and the betting should be helpful. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 |
9th Sep 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Flat/hurdles winner in Britain earlier in career and Flat/bumper scorer in Germany last year; not seen since very disappointing stable debut in March, though, and not an easy one to predict here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ran well for a long way when third of seven on latest hurdling start, at Doncaster (2m, soft) in February, and will be fine on the faster ground here but recent Flat form has been underwhelming; others appeal more. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time Flat winner for David O'Meara but hasn't really threatened to add to tally on the Flat or over hurdles for this yard, including back on the level last month. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time Flat winner, the latest in May 2024, and he ran okay in February on his last hurdle start; he may have needed the run when back on the Flat three weeks ago and is not ruled out off a reduced mark. |
16/1 |
