26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won small-field races at Hamilton for a maiden (1m3f, good to firm) last May and handicap (1m5f, good) last July; seriously raised in class when tailed-off last at 14-1 in the Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f, good to firm; again sweating) last August, but he could be of renewed interest on this reappearance for an in-form yard. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Two runs last year and built upon that promise to win Hamilton maiden (1m3f, good to firm) in May; comfortably followed up in handicap there (1m5f, good) last month; that was in a small field against older horses but the runner-up was a winner either side of that outing and this fellow did it readily; could have more to offer and he's not discounted up 5lb. |

1st 5 (5) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Showed promise in two juvenile runs but he found improvement upped to 1m3f when landing a small-field maiden here (good to firm; first run since gelded) in May; still has plenty of potential and he's an interesting contender now upped to this trip on handicap debut. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Hamilton specialist who was tailed off there on his reappearance a fortnight ago (pulled hard); hard to fancy on the back of that but it may have got the freshness out of him and he's on his last winning mark; not a forlorn hope on his first visit here. |
25/1 |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Easily best known at Hamilton where he's 6-20, including two wins last summer; competitive if he returns in last season's peak form but he's needed at least his first run back in previous seasons. |
20/1 |
|
7 (9) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Easily best known at Hamilton where he's 6-20, including two wins this summer; fourth in a blanket finish (also involving Mafting) there on penultimate start but well beaten at Ayr on latest and he has more to prove here; 7lb claimer enlisted. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |
16/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders when last seen in the winter but returns from 12-week break on a good mark and is versatile regarding ground; gained his only hurdle win over C&D; no surprise if he features. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time Flat winner who has a consistent profile over hurdles; handles soft ground but has a bit to find with He's Bresilian on last month's Ayr form. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Showed fair form at a juvenile hurdler two seasons ago, winning at Hexham in March 2024 (2m, heavy); didn't progress in handicaps after that; has since won twice over 1m5f on the Flat at Hamilton (good/soft) but below his best on last two Flat runs. |

Flat winner for David O'Meara was tailed off when 50/1 on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; hard to fancy. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Bought for 10,000gns after losing his form in two starts following a breakthrough Flat win at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) in August for David O'Meara; others more likely. |
