11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
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. |
7/1 |

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. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
He's failed to shine on both starts this season but is on a handy mark on last season's best form and is likely to get back on track sooner or later; today's drop back in grade could help in that regard. |
10/1 |
|
10th 10 (12) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has the ability to take a serious hand but he ran well below market expectations in this race last year and another reappearance duck egg doesn't augur well; has shown peak form in autumn months. |
22/1 |
|
11th 5 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Capable of being involved but is by no means certain to shine in this spring reappearance, having shown his best handicap form in autumn months; the market signals may offer further guidance. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has mostly duck eggs in his form figures this term but won at Ripon (6f) in April and the return to this venue, combined with first-time visor, may have positive effect; scored over 5f last year. |
7/1 |
|
13th 11 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner; has done well since joining Mark Walford, first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer and winning over the same C&D (good to soft) in April; has to bounce back from poor run at Ascot last time but that's certainly possible. |
14/1 |
|
10th 11 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Had a good season for new yard in 2025, winning on second start and running two excellent races at Ripon when returned to 6f, notably when first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid (good to firm) in August; confirmed his liking for that course when winning there three weeks ago and needs to prove he's the same horse elsewhere. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time C&D winner; easing mark and back to form, just held by U Sure Do over C&D (good; 25-1) under four weeks ago; is capable of handling easier ground, and well drawn close to the stands' rail in stall 10; stablemate of William Dewhirst. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Six-time course winner but well held in his three runs this year and latest was over C&D (good to soft) last month; has form figures of 1242 in this race in the last four years but he needs to turn things around off a sliding mark. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Looked as good as ever when second of nine at Catterick (6f, good) on his reappearance in April but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; conditions no problem and he's on a manageable mark but this is a warm race in which to try to bounce back. |
25/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Very productive in the first half of 2025 but has subsequently been unable to add to his tally; admittedly ties in with a couple of today's opponents on C&D form three weeks ago (penultimate start). |
12/1 |
|
20th 19 (22) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Tends to lead and he made all to beat 18 rivals in this race (good to firm) 12 months ago; bubbling under this season, beaten off only late on at Doncaster last Friday; won't mind if rain softens the ground (used to be considered a mud-lover); should make a bold bid for a repeat success. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today. |
22/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |

9st 13lb |
Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D (good to firm) in May; well beaten in a big field at York since; first visit to Catterick. |
9/1 |
|
15th 17 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D last month; however, this is warmer and he has been unplaced on all four of his starts at York. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 6lb higher mark; not come close to matching that form in seven runs since but this spring's two efforts have come over 5f and this will be more suitable; 2-2 at Redcar and a full revival could be imminent. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Almost as good as ever at the age of seven and went down narrowly at Ripon (6f, good) earlier this month; hard to knock but this is a warm race and he faces some unexposed rivals. |
14/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began this year with two Newcastle wins (6f, Tapeta) but he was only eighth of ten there last month; has won over C&D but has a patchy profile and needs to step up again on this return to turf. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Winning 2yo debut was followed by a stout effort in a Group 3 over C&D (also good to firm) when leading from some way out and looked like holding on but couldn't quite sustain her effort; has rarely had her ground since but she ran well against an improver on AW (7f) in October on final start for the Crisfords; sold for 150,000gns; she might well have a good 4yo season. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won on 2yo debut and was close fourth in Ascot Group 3 next time; hasn't hit that level since but she's had only two runs in handicaps and made some encouraging late headway at York (6f, good to soft; hood) last month; continues to drop down the weights and could be dangerous back up in trip. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Modest win record but he scored at Doncaster (6f) off 5lb higher around a year ago and it was his first go in this grade when running well for second over that C&D (also good to firm) a fortnight ago; Faye McManoman knows him well; respected. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ended a long losing run over C&D last June but there's been little to enthuse about since, tenth in 6f Ripon handicap in April; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
9/1 |

10th 15 (3) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the promise of his 2023 2yo campaign but he was a close third off this mark at Salisbury four weeks ago (6f, heavy) and will be bang there if repeating that form. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Runaway win in a 2yo novice at Salisbury (6f, good) for Eve Johnson Houghton in 2023; mixed results in eight runs since but he was a front-running third in a conditions race in Qatar (7f) in May; on dangerous mark now back in Britain and he's not ruled out on this return to sprinting. |
