11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) last month and he backed that up with a 2l fifth from off the pace at Doncaster three weeks ago; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Resumed winning ways in 14-runner handicap at Wetherby (7f) 16 days ago; up 5lb but scored cosily there so this strong traveller is a likely player again for his in-form yard. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in the winter (9.4f/1m2f); it's possible he's gone off the boil but when beaten 8l in ninth of 13 at Newmarket a fortnight ago he was denied a clear passage before keeping on nicely; not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

11th 13 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and over this C&D in January; below best at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest and he's running in a higher grade than he's used to, but he has an each-way shout on the pick of his winter form. |

10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Six-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Southwell off this mark in November; runner-up off a 4lb lower mark in this race in 2024 but he hasn't threatened in three starts this year; others make more appeal. |
25/1 |
|
13th 2 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

9st 2lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in June 2024; placed in each of his last four starts, albeit he was below his best last time, and once again has an each-way chance. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Last of his three wins came over C&D (good to firm) just over two years ago but he arrives off the back of three solid placed efforts, including when second over C&D ten days ago; mark is creeping back up but he needs considering. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four runs here have yielded two seconds and a win in this race in 2024; down the field in last year's renewal but after some modest efforts he's rediscovered his level of late, going close at Hamilton last month and finishing a close third at Ripon three weeks ago; yard going well and he's in the mix again. |

4/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

9th 14 (17) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win since joining this yard came in a first-time visor at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in December and he's ran some good races since the cheekpieces went on; didn't get the best of passages at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) nine days ago and can be treated as if still in form; up in grade but could go well. |

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. |
16/1 |

2nd 7 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

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. |

9st 10lb |
Sandown 1m handicap winner for William Haggas (1m, good); poor in a claimer and two maiden hurdles for new yard, though mishap when carried out early at Clonmel last time; cheekpieces added to tongue-tie worn since joining this yard. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Appeared to be found wanting for stamina over C&D two runs back but that was a warm handicap and he's since gone down narrowly in a Class 3 over 1m at Redcar (good; new tongue-tie), where he wasn't stopping; races up with the pace and firmly in the reckoning. |
8/1 |

3rd 9 (12) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Found 1m2f too far at York five weeks ago but the return here is a positive given his course record (111373); still 3lb above his last winning mark but holds each-way claims with a tongue-tie given a go. |
10/1 |

12th 15 (14) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Prominent-racer who won twice during last season's 3yo campaign (1m, good to soft/good to firm) and returned to form when third at Redcar (1m, good) last Thursday on his second start of the season; it's possible this new trip will be within range and he has an each-way shout if seeing it out. |

Gained his breakthrough victory over C&D in April but he's failed to match that form in three subsequent outings, 11th at York (1m) 16 days ago; blinkers are reached for now and he has something to prove. |
14/1 |
|
9 (7) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Encouraging start to career last summer (including here) and he tapped back into that 2yo promise to win at Beverley (7.4f, good) in April; however, he hasn't shone the last twice and has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Doesn't always looks the easiest, but has finished runner-up in both starts on Tapeta (including over 7f here) and got off the mark at Beverley (7f, good) in April; made little impression in the Silver Bowl at Haydock last time, but respected back in calmer waters. |

4th 5 (2) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

5th 18 (4) |

Prominent racer (can front run) who won three times last year, twice at Doncaster (1m) and at York (1m, good); reappeared from 203 days off with a solid effort at Newmarket (1m, good) last month but he was withdrawn after becoming upset in the stalls at Doncaster on his last intended start. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of heavy-ground wins at Doncaster (7f); better form in defeat this year, placed in good C&D handicaps (good ground) in consecutive days last month; has won on fast ground and his connections took this race in 2024; needs serious consideration. |
6/1 |
|
4th 13 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
There's a suspicion he might ideally need slow ground to produce his best form at 7f, especially here, but he began this season in good form (1m/7.5f, good to soft/good) and there was some mitigation when down the field at Newbury on penultimate start (1m, good; denied clear run); went close over C&D (good) on Friday; not ruled out. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 (14) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; started this season with good thirds at Doncaster (22-runner Spring Mile; good to soft) and Chester (7.6f, good) but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Newbury last time; any easing of the ground would be in his favour; connections have tasted recent success in this. |
