13th 5 (5) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up on first three starts this season (once over C&D) and was seemingly back in good nick when fourth at Carlisle (nearly 1m, good) last month; subsequent heavy-ground defeat is excusable, and he's on a good mark. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Carlisle (1m, good) three weeks ago and he continues to edge down the weights; his best form has come on slow ground and he's firmly in calculations. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (11) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; failed to beat a rival in two runs last month and needs to turn things around quickly. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two good runs here (1m and 1m1f, good ground) in midsummer but he has finished out the back in both subsequent runs, latterly when 17l behind Zermatt Star at Ripon last week; risky. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Doubled his tally with 1m1f victory at Carlisle in July; failed to beat a rival in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap since though so needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
13th 11 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual Carlisle winner who's recorded his best efforts on turf; showed the right attitude off 2lb lower last time but will need to at least match that form in this competitive handicap. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

12th 8 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best known for his heroics at Hamilton; safely held three times since placed there (8.3f, good) in May but had heavy ground as valid excuse at Ayr on Tuesday and remains 1lb lower than when winning this race in 2025. |
16/1 |
|
8th 4 (7) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Soundly beaten at Carlisle (1m, good) three weeks ago but may have needed that first run since May; won three times last autumn (good to soft/soft) and is below his last winning mark; capable of a big performance. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Hamilton specialist who ran well at that track on his seasonal return in May; too keen when disappointing at Pontefract later that month and absent since; has run well over C&D on slow ground in the past. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time winner (8.5f-1m2f) who is often slowly away; ran well when third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last time in a race won by a subsequent winner; has since left Iain Jardine having been bought for £5,000; has the hood removed for his stable debut and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has never won above Class 6 and doesn't look as if he's about to put that right; consistent spell has been terminated by his form taking a dip in last few runs. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Six-time winner, including over C&D last July (good to soft); well suited by give in the ground, so after two fair runs this season, is one with a chance. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
4-27 at Hamilton, which has dominated his itinerary but he also has two wins elsewhere; made a respectable return to Flat over C&D two weeks ago under Lexie Clarkson and could build on that to get seriously involved. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently over today's trip (good to soft) in September; ended 2025 with two below-par hurdle runs, though, and would appeal more on ground slower than good. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Four wins last year, three on AW (6f/7f); some fair form since but has a bit to find with Instant Bond on recent form at Newcastle (6f); 4lb lower than last winning mark; first run here. |
11/2 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark and he didn't get much luck when third here (6f) last Thursday; could be a big factor if things go more to plan this time and his last three wins have been on Tapeta. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual C&D winner for Lauren Young, who's back up today, last autumn, latterly off a 2lb higher mark; expensive to follow since but won't mind coming back down from 7f and a case could be made. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
When successful in a division of this race 12 months ago she was recording her seventh win of the year; just one win to her name this time around but she has run several good races, including a close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; solid claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Successful seven times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to winning ways at Carlisle (1m) in July but she went too freely when ninth of ten in 1m Ayr handicap 13 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |
