8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive last year and he has continued the good work in 2026, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle either side of lesser turf efforts, albeit in hot handicaps; has run well at Ascot in the past and although he has yet to race over 5f, he is a strong traveller who could prove suited to it; interesting. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Blessed with a potent turn of foot and he has been impressive in winning 6f AW handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle this year; a 3lb rise for the latter success five weeks ago doesn't handicap him out of things and he ran well in his one visit to Goodwood; one to be interested in. |

Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW. |

9st 8lb |
Three front-running AW wins in the spring saw him soar up the handicap; he didn't run badly off his revised mark at Epsom on Derby day and last week's Stewards' Cup was always going to be a tough assignment; this is more suitable but others look better treated. |

Reserve; front-runs; superb 4-5 strike-rate on AW but his turf form isn't up to the same level, albeit soft ground wouldn't have been ideal when fifth of 15 behind Sondad at Epsom recently; up against it. |

6f winner at Thirsk (good) in May and back at a similar level when a keeping-on third behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should run his race but others are perhaps better treated. |

Two good efforts for his new yard in May, beating 13 rivals in a Class 2 handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) off 3lb lower; only midfield in the Wokingham next time and he was left trailing by King Of Light at Windsor 12 days ago; others appeal more. |

9st 11lb |
Made good progress last season and he has improved again this year, finishing third of 17 over C&D on his reappearance and winning at Ffos Las (5f, good) and C&D (good to firm) on his last two starts; up another 5lb but foolish to think he has reached his ceiling. |

|
1st 6 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Two C&D runs have seen him make the frame in big-field events; easily saw off four rivals in a handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) 26 days ago; the combination of a 7lb rise and considerably more demanding opposition could scupper a follow up. |
6/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Progressive last year and as good as ever when third on his Ascot comeback in the spring; pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (removed today) last time, an effort that looks best ignored, and he's one of the likelier winners back from a short break. |

His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Kept on well when winning a 6f handicap (good) here in May; not so good on his next two starts but he ran well for third back here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drops back to 5f with cheekpieces enlisted; others preferred for the win. |

Sole visit here yielded a win over this trip (good) in May but he hasn't figured in two subsequent starts, including when always behind at Windsor 11 days ago; hopes rest on a return to this course firing him back up. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with a win in a handicap in Bahrain (5f, good); he has raised his game on turf this summer, winning a Listed race at Cork (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) in June; the cheekpieces were absent when he was a fine third in a Cork handicap two weeks ago, doing best of the far-side group, and another big run seems likely. |

3rd 1 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
10st 2lb |
His seven wins include this race in 2024; added a valuable handicap in Bahrain over the winter; bounced back to form after a break when winning a C&D Listed race last month but found Group 2 company too tough at the Curragh last weekend; this is easier despite his hefty weight. |

Six-time handicap winner (including over C&D); took his form to a new level when winning a Listed heat at Cork (5f, good) last month when wearing this headgear combination for the first time; this is much harder, so another step forward is required. |

Began the season with two dominant 5f wins on AW; well short of his best on last two starts (6f, good and AW); returning to 5f won't hurt and the return of cheekpieces could perk him up; can't discount. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Began the year with a pair of impressive 5f handicap wins on AW (here and at Southwell) and he didn't have ideal track position when finishing in midfield in a Naas Listed event in April; too bad to be true at York last time; equally effective at 5f and 6f; remains of interest. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Two wins on turf last season for Mark Usher (5f/6f) and he's continued to improve for his new yard, winning two in a row on AW earlier this year (5f); not at his best when seventh of 15 back on grass in a recent Listed race at Naas (5f, good) but shaped as though this return to 6f could be a positive; returns to a handicap and remains one to be interested in. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Admirable campaigner down the years and although he hasn't placed in three visits to York, he has been poorly drawn in two of them and ran well in Listed company on the other occasion; looked to retain ability when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on 2000 Guineas day and he shouldn't be crabbed for his Wokingham effort as he trounced the only other rival to race up the stands' rail; it has been a long time since he's had a mark this low; big run on the cards. |
12/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has contested three of the last four runnings, doing best when runner-up in 2023 (good to firm; also won a Group 3 over C&D on soft); has been a fine stalwart in other top sprint handicaps, including when only just losing out in the 2024 Portland at Doncaster on sole attempt for Christophe Soumillon; it's hard to ignore one with his history at this level. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |

His form has taken a downturn but he's dropped down the weights and there was some promise in his eighth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week in reapplied blinkers (retained), when not beaten far despite being denied a clear run; drops in grade here and could have a part to play. |
