27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Posted career-best performance when leading close home in valuable Summer Hurdle over C&D (good) in July; 6lb higher today but confirmed his wellbeing with a good Flat run last month; probably won't be far away. |

10st 0lb |
Never better on Flat than when winning over C&D (soft) in June, coming from the rear with the first two finishing 6l clear; 4lb higher today but that was followed by a hurdling career best, when winning a good prize on good ground six weeks ago, so he's on a roll. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won three on the Flat for William Haggas; sold for 20,000gns to join this yard last October and scored on her second hurdles start at Kempton (2m good) in March; another good run when runner-up at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) the following month and should run her race. |

2nd 1 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; well-held fifth of 13 on hurdling debut at Hereford in February but she left that form well behind when justifying favouritism with a 14l win at Kempton (2m, good) last month; has a penalty but that was an impressive win and she could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strongly respected. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; ran to only a modest level when 15l fifth of 13 on her 2m Hereford hurdle debut (soft) 20 days ago but she's entitled to come on for the experience. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Probably best known for Musselburgh exploits but last two wins were at Nottingham last October and Carlisle last month; below form on sole start here (last October) but probably best forgiven being well beaten 17 days ago as that was just 1m3f; chief concern is that he needs another career best. |
20/1 |

6th 6 (2) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made it win number six when scoring here (1m6f, good; has won at up to 2m2f) last Monday; 5lb penalty makes life tough and he's never won at shorter than 1m6f; evidently in good heart, though. |
11/1 |

1st 10 (3) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won four times last season (1m6f-2m2f) and looked as good as ever when clear third in quite valuable Musselburgh handicap (2m, good) in April but didn't fire at Hamilton last month and has now disappointed on four of his last five appearances. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 9lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-13 on the Flat but several good placings at up to 2m including last month at Ballinrobe when chasing home a ready winner (won again since) over 1m5f; can go well. |
7/1 |

22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |

Winning hurdler; managed a couple of good runs in staying handicaps on the Flat last season; not far behind Sonic Invader when fourth at Listowel last time. |

4th 4 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 40y |
9st 10lb |
Some good runs in defeat at up to 2m last season; moderate efforts over obstacles were punctuated by an okay fifth of 12 at Bellewstown (1m4f, soft) in April; tailed off at Downpatrick over hurdles last time; cheekpieces go on. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent for new yard in the second half of last year but posted wins at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) and Nottingham (1m6f, heavy; when last seen); in the mix if at the top of her game on this reappearance. |
2/1 |

2 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) last month on second stable start and didn't see out the stiff finish at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; she's not discounted now back down in trip. |
13/2 |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ultra game from the front when winning last week's 2m2f Musselburgh Gold Cup (good to soft); effectively 4lb lower with Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb, but she had a very yard race and this rise in class may find her out. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-10 over hurdles, including wins under Freddie Keighley at Fontwell (2m1f) and Taunton (2m3f, good) on two of his last three outings; respected even though he's never raced over this far (he worked his way to the front late on for that 2m3f win) and has been raised another 5lb. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat stayer who won his first three starts over hurdles (2m-2m1f) last summer but he's been held back in this sphere in last three runs; mark is falling and he is still unexposed over hurdles but needs to raise his game back in trip; all of his hurdle wins have been on good but he seems versatile ground-wise. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |

2nd 4 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Five-runner race at Carlisle (1m3f) last Saturday was first win since 2023 and she's a dependable sort who finished a C&D second (twice) and fourth in July 2024 and 2025 on her only three appearances at York; going back up 5lb since Carlisle seems to pose the difficulty but she should be on the premises. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Five-time winner who hasn't won since 2023 but she's run with credit on many subsequent occasions, including on her only visit here when second under Joanna Mason in this race last year; back in form on her last two starts and she's in calculations. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No win since completing a three-timer at 1m4f-2m in the autumn of 2023; however, she ran her best race of the year when going close at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; has a good run in her back up in trip. |

9st 8lb |
Competitive form at this track in 2023 and didn't run too badly when eighth in last season's Chester Plate; however, it was after a year off when tailed off here two weeks ago and that run was worrying. |

Ran some big races on Flat in 2023 and three of them were at this track; fair eighth of 16 in the Chester Plate last May but that was his only appearance last year; dropped 5lb in his absence but whether this is the time to latch on to him remains to be seen. |
