12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Good C&D record includes a win in this race (good to firm) off 1lb higher last year; good second at Southwell (7f) in January but always behind over C&D four months later; may well have needed that outing but needed to see more to be confident. |
14/1 |

21th 14 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Most of his 14 races at York have been over 7f, including wins in this race in 2024 and another last June; absent since second on AW in January and that's the longest break he's had for two years, which asks a question, but he has to be considered off his last winning mark. |

2nd 7 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Easy to make a case on last year's peak form but signed off with two quiet runs and now back from three months off; not without hope if the break has done him good; has form here. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off. |
20/1 |
|
5th 12 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two clearcut wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) last autumn but he wasn't at his best on Tapeta during the winter; has scored over C&D in the past but he's never won a Class 4 and this is competitive on his return; others preferred. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on turf in the summer of 2023 but better known for his AW exploits since; well beaten at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) on last month's return to grass; others are safer. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance. |
25/1 |
|
13th 14 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW in the winter before two heavy defeats; didn't run badly back on turf at Haydock (1m, good) last month after a break but the AW seems to be his preferred sphere (just 1-15 on grass). |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner but he was disappointing at Southwell (1m) in his final two runs during the winter; has won on turf but that was a long time ago and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; opposable on return. |
16/1 |
|
11th 4 (6) |
22nd Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Disappointing here three weeks ago but he'd been in good form beforehand, second at Wolverhampton and Lingfield around the turn of the year; needs a full revival to win though. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

10st 0lb |
Won a maiden at Nottingham last summer (8.3f, good to firm) but 0-9 in handicaps since; low-key return from a 12-week break this month and cheekpieces are now given a go; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

On a losing run but she wasn't discredited when sixth of ten in 1m2f handicap at Salisbury in June; much respected off a 2lb lower mark after a break. |
12/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Inclined to overdo it when going this far previously but the return to 1m didn't suit (minus tongue-tie, as today) last time; that was a step back in the right direction though and she's on a competitive mark if settling. |

Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |

5th 8 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a C&D maiden (good) last June on his second start for Tim Easterby; returned after a lengthy absence with a creditable fifth here (6f, good to soft) last month and ran another solid race at Pontefract last time; still looks on a workable mark and he shouldn't be far away. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Gained second career win when scoring over C&D last time (good to firm); chance off this 4lb higher mark, providing the ground doesn't turn soft. |
