12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
In good form on the AW this year including two wins over 6f; 0-12 on turf, but has gone close on a couple of occasions and should have no problem with this sharp 7f; player. |
4/1 |

5th 7 (2) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up performer who was successful over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month; proved himself at 7f when his strong finish only just failed to reel in the thriving Goldmoyne (won three times since) back at Southwell last time; it's likely he's still on a good mark. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Competitive coming from off the pace over 6f on all five starts this year, winning in clearcut style at Wolverhampton and Southwell on last two occasions; he's now getting close to his career-best form, with more to prove on this third attempt (first on AW) at 7f but he's been finishing well. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick last August/September and she's capable of going close off her current mark if at her best; she's 3-3 here and perhaps the return to Thirsk will trigger a revival, but it very much needs to as she's not shone on her three outings this season. |
20/1 |

13th 14 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Trainer won this last year with subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair; progressive last season and she's 1lb lower than when a close third of 18 over C&D (good) last October; however, well beaten on both starts this season (irregular heartbeat last time) and a major turnaround is needed. |
20/1 |
|
13th 12 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won last year's Portland during a great spell of form that has come to an end with duck eggs in last two appearances; perhaps best watched until she shows clear signs of a revival. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with a win at Musselburgh (5f, good) in April but followed that with a below-par run over C&D last week; Danny Tudhope jumps ship; others are more enticing. |
33/1 |
|
15th 9 (21) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Back on better ground when he returned to form with a win at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month, taking his strike-rate to 5-22; did well to come out of top from a wide draw and this 4yo could go well up 5lb. |
12/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won over C&D (good) last August and scored twice in a row at Southwell (5f, AW) in December; didn't run badly when fifth of 12 back on turf over C&D (soft) three weeks ago and could build on that back on better ground. |

9st 5lb |
Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle in March but well held back on turf at Doncaster later that month; freshened up since. |

Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle 24 days ago; should give his running but others may prove better treated. |

2nd 10 (8) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a third C&D success in December and largely in good nick since, fourth of nine over C&D two weeks ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |

Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |
10/1 |

14th 16 (8) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Posted a duck egg over C&D last weekend on reappearance, taking Musselburgh record to 0-8; has done all his winning at Ayr and Hamilton; not the percentage call. |

Multiple winner on the AW and consistent in the main; in front 2f out but didn't quite get home when third here last month; respected off same mark. |

3rd 5 (7) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over C&D early this year and he's now 2lb lower than for the second of them; showed signs of a return to form when fourth of nine at Lingfield three weeks ago; solid candidate. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Three wins this year include two on the Southwell AW; hasn't been flying of late but he's the type to bounce back and this mark is fine. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ex Jim Goldie, now 2lb below the mark he won from at Newcastle (5f; made all) in December; soundly beaten in two starts for this trainer, left trailing (last of eight) behind Woohoo at Musselburgh (5f; 40-1) three weeks ago; revival necessary. |
33/1 |

8th 5 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Scored three times, including over C&D, during his spell with Jim Goldie but always behind on C&D stable debut 17 days ago; can only watch after that. |
20/1 |

15th 11 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got involved too soon in the strongly run C&D race won by Ski Angel last time; inconsistent this term but is attractively treated (last two wins off 16lb higher). |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Effective on fast ground but all five wins have been on good or slower including three over C&D; 0-10 this season but he travelled well for a long way when third off this reduced mark at Hamilton ten days ago; usually races prominently and he could make another bold bid back at this track. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Productive 2024 campaign featured two wins over C&D; far from solid on 2025 form and is perhaps best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
14/1 |
