13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |

9st 9lb |
Smart sprinter in his prime but last win was four years ago and he's finished down the field in four runs this season; return to 6f in his favour but don't need much encouragement to look elsewhere. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dropped in the weights and much more competitive in recent starts, second at Chelmsford and Southwell before finishing third behind Sturlasson back at Southwell two weeks ago; better off at the weights with that rival today but might not reverse the placings. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Her losing run goes back more than a year but she's been running well of late and confirmed her liking for this C&D when losing out narrowly to a well-treated rival (pair well clear) last week; solid claims. |
11/4 |
|
1 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights this year and she returned to form with a good second at Chelmsford last month (ran without the declared tongue-tie); back up 2lb but still well treated on last season's best; C&D winner; considered. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Six-time winner; effective at this track and she arrives on the back of a good second under Myla Coppins at Nottingham (5f, good) three weeks ago; has a low draw and looks set for another big run. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time winner including four on turf (good/soft); runner-up in final two starts last season but she struggled at Wolverhampton (6f) in her final run last year; this drop back in trip looks a good move on her return but her last three wins have been in Class 5 events and others are preferred. |
11/1 |

Course regular who landed her third race here when making all over C&D (good) in July; similar form when second at Chester (5.5f, soft) last time; player. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He's on a reduced mark and his yard is going well; however, he had a patchy campaign last season and was soundly beaten in April on his sole run this year (pulled hard on that stable debut); others have less to prove. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-13 on turf but she's run respectably at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and Nottingham (5f, good) in her last two runs; returns after another short break but she's generally reliable and shouldn't be far away. |

All five wins have come over 5f on turf and was only beaten a head at Thirsk (5f, good) six days ago; 1lb well in and won't mind what the weather does; major player. |
100/30 |

2nd 1 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Has won five times on turf on a variety of ground; did best of her group when ninth of 17 at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) on her return but failed to beat a rival home at Yarmouth 55 days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran with 19 wins on his CV, including three editions of this race and a narrow success at Beverley (5f, good to soft) last month; drawn on the outside today and doesn't have much margin for error off this mark but it won't be a surprise if he gives this a good shot. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Grand old veteran who can be forgiven his defeat in a Class 2 at York last time, having won at this level the time before at Beverley (2lb lower); had 119 races and yet this is his first visit here. |
16/1 |
|
18th 18 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Hugely admirable 12yo whose seven York wins include this race in 2019 and 2021, and he built upon last month's reappearance second at Ripon (5f, good) to win at Beverley (5f, good to soft) ten days ago; however, there's a suspicion he may find a big-field Class 2 such as this too hot nowadays. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Won on reappearance at Yarmouth in April and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

6th 7 (8) |
17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Below par since his 5f Yarmouth reappearance success in April but has dipped to 2lb below that winning mark; dangerous if staging a revival. |
8/1 |

14th 6 (18) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

7th 8 (10) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner in 2023; landed a ninth win when scoring at Hamilton last September and finished third to Impressor there (also 5f, soft) last month; reared in stalls and weakened quickly at that venue one week later, though; career-low mark can only help. |

Has inconsistent turf form (all 5f) but the pick of it, namely 2yo success and close second in June, gives her possibilities off current mark provided she takes well to AW. |

3yo who was beaten just a head on handicap debut over C&D in June (good to firm; unraced on slow ground); below that level at Hamilton and Doncaster the next twice but perhaps the return here can trigger a bigger effort. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Got involved too soon in the strongly run C&D race won by Ski Angel last time; inconsistent this term but is attractively treated (last two wins off 16lb higher). |

6th 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Effective on fast ground but all five wins have been on good or slower including three over C&D; 0-10 this season but he travelled well for a long way when third off this reduced mark at Hamilton ten days ago; usually races prominently and he could make another bold bid back at this track. |
3/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Productive 2024 campaign featured two wins over C&D; far from solid on 2025 form and is perhaps best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
