15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Fared best of the stands' side group when second in this race 12 months ago; races off 3lb higher this time around but he confirmed his liking for the track with a C&D win in April and he was better than ever when beating 16 rivals at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; high on the list. |

Returned to form when fourth in first-time visor at Ripon (5f, good) three weeks ago despite stumbling and nearly losing his rider at the start; possibilities off same mark if the headgear has the same effect. |

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. |

5f nursery win (good to firm; trained by Bryan Smart) in 2024; missed 2025 but he retains all his ability and has run three good races in defeat this year; looks well up to winning off this mark and he's one to take seriously. |

Has drawn a blank since scoring over C&D in July 2024 but he's on a dangerous mark and latest keeping-on fourth of 17 at York (5f, good to firm) was encouraging with a return to a stiff 5f in mind (all six wins here and at Pontefract). |

He has plenty of ability but he isn't the easiest to win with; not at his best in 6f handicaps on his last two starts; handles softer than good but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win a turf handicap and he was only ninth of 11 in this race last year; ran well when fifth of 17 at York over 5f last month but surprisingly found it happening too quickly over 6f at Brighton last Friday; others hold more interesting claims. |
11/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Tough cookie who arrives in peak form after a close third over C&D two weeks ago; one of three with serious claims for her local yard. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins for this yard include a soft-ground success at Doncaster just under a year ago; went close at Pontefract in June and the door opened again when getting up late at Newcastle (again 5f, AW) last Thursday; hasn't won off a mark this high since 2022 but it's not hard to see him going well on his first visit to Beverley. |

1st 4 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

C&D win off 1lb higher last November; retains all his ability as a 7yo and he is a major player back on Tapeta. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Probably best at 5f and went down by only a head at Pontefract five weeks ago; had previously shaped well when fifth in a big field on this course; trainer has won this race three times in the last eight seasons and Johnny Burke looks a positive jockey booking. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Hard to fancy on recent efforts with no better than a tenth-placed finish in his last five starts; however, he could be revived by a recent stable switch (from Seb Spencer) and he's fully 18lb lower than when eighth in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last summer; worth monitoring in the market. |
20/1 |

11th 10 (15) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Eighth of 24 in a 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last season but he's finished out the back in his subsequent runs; bit risky. |

13th 7 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Ran quite well when an unconsidered 100-1 shot at Royal Ascot last summer but that didn't prove a springboard to better things; down in the weights but best watched back from a 245-day break. |

Well handicapped on this year's best, including a close fourth over C&D in April; has had the odd excuse since and he ran perfectly well over an inadequate 5f at York three weeks ago (not well drawn); a big run could be on the cards. |
12/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

4lb lower than for his last two 6f wins but recent efforts have been underwhelming and he's unproven over the minimum trip. |

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

Never involved in a Class 4 at York last time but this veteran was in good form before that, including a win at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) and three seconds; still looks on a workable mark and he has possibilities on this drop back in grade. |
