York 14:55 Odds Comparison

Confirmed the promise of first 3 starts in handicaps when scoring at Yarmouth (9f) in September. With this season's reappearance behind him, looked unlucky not to at least go close in Thirsk Hunt Cup 12 days ago given the trouble he met. Major player.

Resumed his progress with a big-field handicap win at Ascot in September. Shaped well when fourth of 20 in the Balmoral there the following month and hasn't been seen to best effect both outings this season, meeting trouble when mid-field at Newbury last month. Merits consideration.

Ended 2025 on the up, landing back-to-back Goodwood handicaps in the autumn and third in listed race at Nottingham on final outing. Picked up where he left off when close fourth in a Haydock handicap 19 days ago, faring best of those held up.

Back-to-back winner last season and stepped forward from reappearance to land the Thirsk Hunt Cup 12 days ago, though benefited from a clear run in contrast to Sea Force in third. Can give his running once more, but wouldn't be certain to confirm the form from last time.

Recorded a hat-trick at Pontefract (twice) and Ascot last season. Left poorly placed on return, before bouncing back to winning ways at Pontefract 15 days ago. Up in grade but he did score readily last time.

Newbury maiden winner on last season's return and better form in defeat since, despite not always being seen to best effect., running well in 2 starts over this C&D including at the Ebor Festival. Not ideally placed at Doncaster on final outing, so could yet do better having been gelded.

3-time winner switched to handicaps last season, with latest success at Southwell in September. Prior to that was runner-up over 7f here at the Ebor Festival, form boosted since. Only fourth of 8 at Newmarket on final outing but no surprise to see her bounce back, though wide draw not ideal.

Goes well here, landing this race in 2024. Without a win last year but ran up best when second in Summer Mile at Ascot. Hasn't been in the same form since, returning from 5 months off when down the field at Doha in February, and tough mark to overcome back in a handicap.

Successful in listed races on final 2 starts in 2023 but without a win since. Highly tried in the UAE since joining current yard and made the frame in a Meydan Group 2 in January, though didn't manage to build on that in 3 subsequent outings.

Built on promise of his reappearance when showing a good attitude to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton in March. Shaped as if amiss at Newcastle on Good Friday so he's worth another chance given his gradually progressive profile before that, though does have wide draw to overcome.

Listed winner over 7f at Longchamp last spring and gave his running more often than not the remainder of the campaign, his best form up to 1m. After 5 months off, possibly stretched by 9f back at Longchamp in April, but has something to find making handicap debut.

Made a winning return in the Lincoln last season and improved again when following up at Newcastle in June. Wasn't in the same form on final 3 starts of the campaign, but he boasts a good record fresh as he makes first run since leaving William Haggas.

Only a lengthy losing run but ended last season with a trio of in-frame efforts. However, after 5 months off he ran below form when twelfth of 21 in the Lincoln at Doncaster in March. Others more persuasive.

Winner of this race in cosy fashion last year, but was held back by slow starts over this C&D on both remaining outings of the campaign. After 8 months off ahead of first run since leaving Ed Bethell, ran below form at Newbury in April so he has something to prove at present.

Goes well on ground softer than good, successful at Ayr (good to soft) on second start last season. Good second at the same course in September when getting conditions to suit, while he possibly needed the run in the Lincoln on return. Only 1 lb above last winning mark.

Proved better than ever when scoring at Ayr in September and good second over this C&D the following month. Has possibly been working his way back to full fitness in 2 outings this season, also meeting trouble when down the field in the Lincoln last time.

Smart handicapper for the Crisfords in 2023, successful in this race prior to an excellent second in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, was absent for almost 3 years before finishing down the field at Haydock on stable debut 19 days ago.

Won 3 times in 2025, with latest victory over 1¼m at Lingfield in December. Excuses on first 3 starts this year, but was disappointing back on turf when well held at Epsom 16 days ago. Has dropped below last winning mark as he returns to shorter.

Took advantage of his easing mark when scoring at Newcastle (7f) in December, his fifth course success. Has been running respectably since, third of 6 over 1m at Southwell 5 weeks ago, but faces a tough ask back on turf.
