GV Co Property Consultants Supports The YCC Handicap

Not the force of old (won the 2023 Stewards' Cup) but resumed winning ways in 5-runner handicap at Catterick (6f) in April. Wasn't seen to best effect having raced away from the main group at Hamilton last time and not dismissed.

In tremendous form at Wolverhampton last year, winning 5 handicaps from September to December and a good third when last seen on Boxing Day. Well drawn on return but might need it.

Won twice here last season and had been in good form until a below-par effort in a fairly valuable handicap at Hamilton a fortnight ago. Can bounce back.

Proved better than ever when winning 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f) a month ago with Rock Opera third, but not so good off this mark when just third of 5 at Leicester the following week, failing to keep straight under pressure doing him no favours. Usually runs well at this track.

Won 4 times at around 1m in 2025 but having been given a chance by the handicapper, ran well having a first try sprinting at Redcar (6f) last week, hitting a flat spot over 2f out but keeping on. This stiffer test will suit and good chance if backing that up.

Dug deep to end a long losing run in 6f Newmarket handicap in November. Well held both starts this year but did win on his third start back in 2024 and likewise went close last year. Not dismissed.

Has made a solid start for new yard, travelling as well as any when third over 1m here last month before looking unsuited by drop back to 7f at Thirsk. Plenty of hard-luck stories on his record but was a classy sprinter in his youth.

Losing streak now closing in on 2 years but again didn't get the rub of the green at Hamilton last time, finishing with running left. Needs things to drop right but lurks on a very dangerous mark if putting it all together.

Not so good back on turf over 7f the last twice but won at Nottingham and Ripon over this trip last season and now 10 lb below last successful mark.
