26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Drew a blank during regressive 2025 campaign and down the field on reappearance at Chepstow three weeks ago; however, he left last season's comeback run well behind to post 33-1 third on his next start, and he's not discounted off a reduced mark. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Went winless in 2025 but he posted some good placed efforts, signing off with a solid third in 1m Leicester handicap in October; not out of it if fully tuned up for his seasonal return so worth a market check. |

Veteran who is 3-15 over C&D on ground ranging from good to soft; hard to predict these days, but capable of running well off if putting his mind to it. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has a win over C&D but that was over four years ago; hasn't backed up an encouraging third at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March in two runs since but has dropped to a career-low mark so all is not lost. |
8/1 |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Four-time Polytrack winner who ran well below market expectations in two previous starts on Tapeta; back on his last successful mark but didn't build on a decent comeback effort last time. |

Off the mark with a last-gasp win over C&D (soft) in July but she's finished a well-held fourth in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); only 1lb higher than for her win but she's now 1-10 and has bit to prove again. |

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. |

2nd 11 (11) |
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. |

Won by a length under Cara Tuke over C&D last week (good to soft) and escapes a penalty for that; that was a return to form and she can put a sequence of solid efforts together. |

Awarded the Pontefract handicap last month in which Valentine Catcher passed the post first; not so good in either run since, the latest at Doncaster on Saturday, and others appeal more. |

All three wins over 6f at Pontefract on good and good to soft, most recently when awarded a race last month, but he was never involved in a higher grade there since and recent 7f attempts suggest others will have the legs of him late on. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seen only four times this year, with best run his close second of six in modest race at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) two starts ago; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Ran best race this year when second at Carlisle last time (7f, good to soft); could go well, but ideally suited by some give in the ground and perhaps better at 7f. |

2nd 7 (7) |
30th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Now 10lb lower than when winning over Haydock's 7f last July and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) latest; he has soft-ground form if going back far enough. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |
