27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who did well throughout five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning this race; 5lb higher today but much more of a worry is that he needs to bounce back from this season's two poor runs on turf. |

9st 9lb |
Front-runner who did well during five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW); also suited by good to soft turf but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing reappearance run. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Didn't set the world alight in his three handicap hurdles (won his two previous hurdle starts); those handicaps were at up to 2m1f and he's much more of a stayer on the Flat, but his two Flat runs at Chester (where he won last season) this term were disappointing; tongue tied first time. |
14/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Soundly beaten in last month's Chester Plate (2m2f) but this race is easier and he's now only 1lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last summer; versatile regarding ground; contender if back on song. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

9yo who has returned from a long absence in pretty good heart, finishing third at Chester (2m, good) then fourth from off the pace at Kempton (2m, AW; Molten Sea second); might not be far away. |

9yo who returned from two-year absence with creditable third at Chester (2m, good) at the end of May; also effective over this C&D and he may be able to build on that latest performance; chance. |

9st 11lb |
Record of 6-25 on turf but 0-10 on the AW; this year started off okay but after predictably struggling in a Group 3 she's disappointed in a couple of handicaps; needs to get back on track. |
33/1 |
|
9th 1 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins last summer included two over C&D; started this season in good form but well beaten on last two outings when back to York for a Group 3 and, more worryingly, a 1m6f handicap; off 2lb higher than her last winning mark, she'll have a shout if returning to her best. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive six-time winner whose last two successes came over 2m here (good to soft/good) in July and September; outclassed in a course Group 3 last month but had previously been running respectably and this return to handicaps will see her in much better light; considered. |

9st 6lb |
Both wins have been on the Polytrack at Lingfield, last time winning by 2.5l in first-time blinkers over 1m5f; very much had the run of things that day but could be capable of defying the 5lb rise should the headgear continue to help. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Course winner (1m2f); ran well at Chelmsford in June off 5lb higher; stepping up to 2m hasn't worked on his last two starts, albeit in stronger company than this; blinkers added now back down in grade and he's one to be interested in. |
4/1 |
|
5 (10) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Remains lightly raced and his useful dam got better with age for this yard; promising fourth at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month but soundly beaten there since (2m) and he needs to raise his game today. |

10st 0lb |
5-46, but without a win since July 2024 (York); runner-up in added cheekpieces at Catterick (2m, good) in May; soundly beaten at Pontefract (2m1f; beaten 22l) three months ago; mark continues to ease; this stablemate of Bollin Neil has questions to answer. |
5/1 |

6th 3 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Should be well handicapped and has run well in defeat with cheekpieces added (joining regular tongue-tie) in last two races, behind Laravie in the penultimate one; surprising to see the blinkers back on. |

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. |
7/2 |
|
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. |
7/4 |
|
1st 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
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. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race. |
9/1 |
|
3 |
16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting. |

Won here (1m4f, good) in April; beaten a head at Chester (1m4f, good) last month and again finished second at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; ran well over an extended 2m at York last season and could be involved. |

2nd 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Drops back in trip/grade having never landed a blow in the Northumberland Vase last time; broadly consistent otherwise this term and won at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April; 4lb higher now, though. |

9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in August and at Ripon (2m, good) last month, appearing to idle in front on the second occasion having travelled extremely well; stayed on for fourth at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) subsequently and the return to 2m could be a strong positive; major player. |
9/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in Class 6 on soft and good to soft last year but withdrawn from good to soft on Thursday; first six wins were 1m6f, including at Newmarket this August, and he travelled much the best at Ripon (2m) one week ago before scraping home in front; up 3lb but return to 1m6f is clearly no disincentive and two of his wins last year were separated by only five days; player. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

A two-time winner (around 2m) in 2025 but he's failed to beat a rival in a pair of 1m6f handicaps at Thirsk and Carlisle this summer; needs to take a major step forward. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in blinkers last season (1m7f/2m); back on a workable mark but made a low-key reappearance in cheekpieces (retained) last month and needs that run to have brought him on. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
She recorded the latest of her six wins when readily taking five-runner Carlisle handicap (1m3f, good) last month; not disgraced at York over an extended 2m on her next two starts and now drops back in trip and grade; acts on most ground and warrants consideration. |
8/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Behind a couple of these when fourth over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago but that was still a respectable run and she won at Carlisle (1m3f, good) prior to that; went close in this race in 2024; not ruled out. |
14/1 |

4th 6 (11) |
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. |
