20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Operating off a reduced mark but on a losing run; has strong C&D form but reserves his best for Thirsk these days; well beaten on last month's seasonal return. |

9st 6lb |
C&D winner; best known for exploits at Thirsk more recently, including a close second there last May (5f, good); cheekpieces off for his reappearance and not a solid option, for all he has dropped to a good mark. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had his ideal conditions when gaining his fourth win at Haydock last month (5f, soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; solid third of 20 off this 5lb higher mark at York last time (5f, good; fifth has won since); stall 2 perhaps not ideal but one with a chance. |
3/1 |

3rd 19 (20) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying). |

Returned to form when second at Beverley (5f, good) last month; sixth of seven there since (5f, good to soft) but beaten less than 2l and he's a three-time winner here (6f/5f, good-heavy); could be bang there now back here in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Easy win at Newmarket on her handicap debut in June (6f, good to firm) but she was clobbered for that and has found it tougher going since, albeit against some useful opposition; not far off her best in a first-time visor in August and now tries blinkers and a tongue-tie; effective on AW; still has time to deliver upon that early promise. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Dual C&D winner; finished well for fourth at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) in May but has rather mixed record since returned to turf in April and never really got involved at York last time. |
9/1 |
|
18th 2 (18) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Tends to come from well off the pace and sometimes meets trouble; did well in the circumstances when a never-nearer fourth of 14 at Carlisle two weeks ago; won over C&D last spring; big player if the gaps appear. |
12/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |

Promising second on reappearance at Newcastle and better than the bare results suggest since, meeting significant trouble in running in a big field at York last time; could play a major role if getting the breaks. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Triple AW winner but he's 1-13 on turf and was beaten 10l behind Glory Hyde over C&D two weeks ago; has something to prove and all of his wins have been over 7f. |
7/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-29; runner-up off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f; beaten a neck) in February; in rear throughout at York (6f; 40-1) on return from a three-month break; this is slightly easier (Class 5) and Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb. |
7/1 |

15th 16 (22) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a 7f turf win at Doncaster (good to firm) last summer and close second at Wolverhampton (7f) on latest start in February; back from a 12-week break with his stable among the winners but he's done all his winning at 7f. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
On a near two-year losing spell but he's a four-time C&D winner and can't be dismissed off his reduced mark; made the frame in last two starts, latest back at Pontefract. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |

4th 7 (6) |

9st 13lb |
4lb higher than for his win in this race 12 months ago, after which he went on to score at Glorious Goodwood; fine return to action (after wind surgery) at Thirsk in May but no progress in two subsequent runs; Warren Fentiman back on board now dropping in class; high on the list. |
8/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won big-field 5f handicaps at York and Goodwood last July; two solid efforts in defeat this season and he won on his only visit to Epsom, albeit over 7f; not impossibly treated but he wouldn't want the ground to be any slower than good. |
16/1 |

7th 16 (19) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won big-field handicaps over C&D (good to firm) and at Goodwood (5f, good) last July, and this 9yo returned from wind surgery with a back-to-form, neck second at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; Harry Vigors removes a valuable 7lb and this prominent-racer could be bang there once more. |
