York 17:18 Odds Comparison

Has gone off at odds-on on last 2 starts, runner-up at Newcastle in May (race has worked very out well) before going one better in 4-runner handicap at Pontefract (1½m, good) on Monday. Shoulders a penalty and is fitted with first-time cheekpieces. More required again back down in trip.

Landed back-to-back victories over this trip at Doncaster and Newcastle in March and back to best when winning 7-runner handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) 16 days ago. Has won twice from 3 turf starts and should get the race run to suit again here. Leading claims.

Won 3 times in 2025 and stepped up on reappearance when successful in 11-runner handicap (13/2) at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) 20 days ago, suited by way race developed. May get a similar set up, though is now on a career-high mark in a tougher race.

Doubled his tally on reappearance at Redcar (1¼m) and found only too good at Doncaster (1½m, good to firm) next time. Disappointing when fourth of 5 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm, 9/4) 13 days ago.

Returned to winning ways at Chester (10.3f) last summer and ran well next 2 starts before form tailed off. Got back on track with a couple of placed efforts at Ripon this season, latest when second of 12 (1¼m, good) in May. Can go well again.

Has got a bit better with each run this season, beaten 2¼ lengths third by Mao Shang Wong at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) 16 days ago. Now 1 Ib below the mark he took this race from last year and things should set up nicely for him. One to consider.

Not scored for some time but has been knocking on the door of late, making the frame in last 7 starts, third at Lingfield (9f) on latest occasion. Should get race run to suit and is one for the shortlist.

Veteran who capitalised on a career-low mark in good style at Ripon in May. Not so good next time but settled better to quickly resume winning ways at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm, 5/1) 7 days ago. Carries a penalty and Kirrane will be looking to make it perfect 3-3 on him this season.

Recorded back-to-back wins over 1¼m at Sandown last summer. Made the frame on each of his 3 outings this season, fourth of 8 at Newmarket (1¼m, good to firm, 9/4) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in grade here.

Largely consistent performer who won 4 times last season. Rare below-par effort in big-field handicap at this course 2 starts back. Creditable fourth at Carlisle 13 days ago and is back up significantly in trip here.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Mostly disappointed after his good fifth in the John Smith's Cup over C&D last summer but he's now 5 Ib below his last successful mark. Needs the cheekpieces to work.

Has won twice over C&D, including last June, but failed to recapture that form later in the year. May have needed the run on the back of a breathing operation when well held behind Mao Shang Wong at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) on return 16 days ago. He's received some respite from the handicapper.

Relished testing conditions when off the mark at Salisbury (1¼m) in September prior to finding only one too good from a 9 lb higher mark at Newbury when trained by Roger Teal. Not seen to best effect under speed-favouring conditions at Ayr latest. Will want rain to come.

Positive start for his new stable when going down by a neck in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle in March, faring best of those ridden prominently. Failed to see race out once in clear over 7f here last month and others make more appeal stepping back up markedly in trip.

Three wins from 7 Flat runs in 2025, the latest at Newcastle in September. Successful in mares handicap hurdle at Carlisle in March and shaped as if still in form when mid-field next start. Has had a breathing operation since and market could guide.

Signed off time in Ireland with victory in a 15-runner maiden at Listowel in September. Yet to fully fire in 3 handicap outings this season, though wasn't without promise when third behind a pair of improvers at Chepstow over this trip in May. This demands more.

Placed twice since returning to the turf of late but below form when fifth of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Hamilton (11f, good to firm) 28 days ago. The blinkers go back on, though this is competitive.

A 4-time winner in 2025 but hasn't particularly helped his chances by racing freely on both starts this season. Cheekpieces replace the visor.

Successful twice last year, his latest win coming at Newcastle (1¼m) in September. Made the frame there on reappearance but finished well held at Hamilton both starts since and it's easy to look elsewhere.

Sole success last year over 1m at Ffos Las last summer and signed off for 2025 when runner-up at Windsor (1¼m). Down the field in 2 runs this season and has a bit to prove back up in trip.
