4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 with a win and better than ever when a close second of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) on reappearance; Thirsk was disappointing but that was a Class 4, so this is easier. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player. |
9/4 |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
5f AW win in April; ran well at Ripon (5f, good) later that month but he has struggled twice since; has a C&D win on his record but others bring more pressing claims. |
33/1 |
|
9th 9 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW but he has won on fast turf; good fourth at Ripon in April but he could only manage a midfield finish at Thirsk in May; 2lb lower than when short-headed by Brazen Bolt in this race 12 months ago but he arrived in top form then. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; below par in a big field at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but plenty of form this season that makes him of interest; Jack Callan's claim a bonus; one to consider back at 5f. |
8/1 |
|
13th 13 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
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. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; struggled at York last time but that was a highly competitive Class 4 event and he was runner-up here (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |
8/1 |
|
18th 19 (18) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won this race in 2022 as a 5yo; no sign of his enthusiasm waning this year, winning three 6f handicaps, and stepping back up in trip will suit after two good 5f efforts last month; chance. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Had strong handicap form over C&D last summer and he is well handicapped on last July's second here (behind Aberama Gold); running well in small-field events this year; should give it another good go. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ended a long losing run when cosily making all in five-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) three weeks ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly in his current mood. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Seems to be going through the motions and his losing run stretches back over two years; needs to stop the slide but he's on a dangerous mark if staging a revival, so impossible to rule out. |
18/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
On a near two-year losing spell but he's a four-time C&D winner and can't be dismissed off his reduced mark; made the frame in last two starts, latest back at Pontefract. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
York win last summer came off 15lb higher, which shows how things have gone in the meantime; can miss the break (including in first-time headgear latest; now removed) but this race is easier than he's used to; career-low mark. |
7/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has a poor strike-rate over the last three years and has proved inconsistent since last success (off 12lb higher); chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Legends Classified Stakes here (1m; 40-1) last September; knocking on the door over 7f here (23) in recent times; competitively weighted from an unchanged mark, and a danger to all if allowed uncontested lead back at 6f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Broadly inconsistent but his form at Doncaster features a success in last year's Leger Legends race and resurgent effort behind Bella Bisbee in latest start; better off with that rival and due to go back up 1lb in future. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win from 20 starts came at Newmarket last summer; good second off reduced mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in August but he's taken two backward steps since and has something to prove again; first-time cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Only win in 15 attempts came off 1lb higher at Newmarket in August last year (6f, good); fair efforts in a visor (on again) when in the frame on last two starts; has each-way claims. |

Pontefract winner in April (5f, good to soft); two good runs in May, the first when second over this C&D; hasn't been in such good form on last two runs. |

6th 6 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Never the slightest threat at Wolverhampton last time but there's nothing wrong with his two previous turf runs which included an unlucky second here; big player off the same mark if on a going day. |

Two wins this term, the first at Southwell in April and the second over C&D last week (good to firm); could go well from her low draw, but lacks consistency. |

1st 10 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Scored on AW in April; inconsistent otherwise of late; has plenty of C&D form, including in this contest, but posted a substandard effort returned to this scenario last time. |
