3rd 9 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Had some strong handicap form at York last summer; appreciated the return to turf when beating his nine rivals, including the odds-on Corolla Point, at Beverley (5f, good) in April; another solid York run when keeping on for fifth last month but slow starts are creeping in and he may prove vulnerable for win purposes back on AW. |
8/1 |

5th 7 (16) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has claims on his narrow Beverley win in April (5f, good to soft; only 2lb higher here), but he was never the slightest threat over C&D next time after a sluggish start; needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |

12th 10 (6) |

Beat 18 rivals to win over C&D (good) last July and went close over 5.4f here on his next two starts; regained the winning thread at Beverley (5f, good to soft) four weeks ago and he's only 2lb higher today; respected. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won two in a row (6f/7f, good to firm) last summer and performing well in defeat this year, including second to Air Force One in a big-field at York (5f) in July and to subsequent Ayr Bronze Cup winner Winged Messenger at Epsom (6f; third and fourth also won since) when last seen seven weeks ago; raced mainly on good or firmer but showed promise on soft at the start of his career; has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie; high on the shortlist with Warren Fentiman taking 5lb off. |

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. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |
|
11th 5 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |

9st 5lb |
String of good runs since returning in May from a 167-day absence, latterly keeping on for second at Redcar (5f, good) three weeks ago; steps back up to 6f for the first time this year and it could suit. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
First of two wins came in a novice over 6f here on good to firm; pair of placed efforts in 5f AW handicaps in March but hasn't quite matched that in two 5f handicaps at Thirsk (good/good to firm) since, with reopposing pair Far Above The Law and Spring Is Sprung ahead of him latterly; the first-time cheekpieces he wore last time are left off. |
9/1 |
|
7th 15 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

6th 1 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Three course wins, two over 6f, the other at 5f; this season's win was a 13-runner event at Bahrain in January (5f, good to firm); hasn't run quite as well since, but may have needed it when 5.25l tenth of 20 in the Epsom Dash last time (5f, good to soft; 66-1); a possible. |
7/1 |
|
10th 2 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on any ground; having dropped in the weights he enjoyed a revival last August/September, rattling off a four-timer (5f-5.3f); had a stint in Bahrain over the winter, unplaced on four occasions but recording a career best when winning a 5f event (good to firm) in January; looks on a tough mark back in Britain. |

C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Versatile regards ground; six wins include two here (7f/5f) and he was second in this race last year; yet to get going this term but there was the faintest hint he might be on the way back at Chester (5f) last time and maybe the return to this trip can help; mark fine. |

Beaten 16 times since his C&D win in September 2023; has often run well in defeat, including here, but he put a major black mark on his record at Nottingham in April, belatedly leaving the stalls but downing tools and bucking around immediately afterwards; the combination of a subsequent stable switch/wind surgery/change of headgear could all be beneficial and there's no doubt he has the ability to win a race like this; risky but feared. |
