28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
9yo who went 0-10 last year but he's well handicapped on the pick of last season's efforts, which came in the spring, and his Doncaster form-figures of 1413 catch the eye on his first visit here since 2023; interesting. |

Won twice last season, the second one over this C&D; sound efforts on first two starts this term but not so good recently; on a good mark (6lb lower than last win). |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner who was runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but has been lightly raced since; his keeping-on fifth of 12 over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April suggests most of that ability remains but he failed to build on it tackling 1m2f for the first time when fourth at Redcar (good to firm) four weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn at Redcar are retained. |
13/2 |

4th 1 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f) in September 2024 and he's raced just four times since; denied clear run when keeping on for fifth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) recently and the return to 1m2f is worth a go; could have a part to play in first-time cheekpieces. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins at about 1m and finished runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire, but lightly raced since; not beaten far into fourth of ten at Kempton (1m, AW) last time, but still 5lb above his last winning mark and doesn't look solid back from another short break; stable also runs Noche Clasica. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Dual winner here (both on good to firm) who was sixth in this last year and was runner-up to Warrant Holder over C&D (good) this May; soundly beaten at Royal Ascot since but he's an each-way possible back at York. |
18/1 |
|
15th 10 (28) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Back to form with second at the York Dante festival (good) in the 1m2f event he'd won 12 months earlier; before racing over longer trips he was a three-time 1m winner and ran creditably in major handicap over C&D once; may remain competitive. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 1 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Disappointing in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on final outing last season and same story in Listed race at Kempton on last month's reappearance; however, he's back down to the same mark as when winning this last year (good to firm) and can have a big say if he's back on song. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
6/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not the force of old but, after a couple of modest efforts, his latest fifth of 18 at York (10.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) was a step back in the right direction; shaped as though this stiffer test might suit on that occasion so interesting to see if the headgear works a second time for in-form yard. |
16/1 |

5th 12 (15) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Not the best of strike-rates and not been in top form this year; cheekpieces now tried but has a tricky draw to overcome; well handicapped now. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 2lb lower then when winning at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in April, but his form since then has been patchy; ran with credit in two starts on Tapeta (at Southwell) a year ago, but will need to be at the top of his game and is likely to face competition for the lead. |

9st 11lb |
1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

9th 11 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

Has dropped 8lb lower than when last winning a handicap for good reason; his last two starts didn't suggest a return to winning ways was imminent. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say. |

Scored at Newcastle (7f) in December and largely in good form after on AW; only 13th on rare turf start in 1m York handicap last time though so needs to take a step forward. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Well handicapped on last year's best form (including on turf) and ran okay when third of six at Southwell (1m, AW) last month; however, he's been hard to win with on grass and looks vulnerable back up in grade. |

Dual C&D winner from the front last October; mostly creditable efforts in defeat this year and should give it a good shot back at a venue which suits, particularly if he can obtain an uncontested lead. |
9/2 |

6th 8 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A dual 7f Catterick scorer in October; back in very good form this season, and probably best forgiven his latest 11th in 7f Thirsk handicap when missing the start and unable to lead; the sort to bounce back. |
11/1 |
|
11th 8 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Notched two wins over this trip at Catterick last October and he has returned in fine form, making much of the running when a close third over C&D (good ground) last month; solid claims again from an unchanged mark. |
