22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner; struggling for form this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced handicap mark; dropping into 0-80 company will help but there are risks attached. |

12th 1 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't got going this year but he's dropped to a good mark on last year's high points and a tongue-tie is turned to; a revival is not out of the question; effective on soft but hasn't shone on heavy. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |

Yet to fire this season but landed his third win here when successful in this race last year (good to firm) off 4lb higher; he has also been placed twice at this track and can never be written off around here. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in this last year (soft) and returned to form when second at Haydock (6f, heavy) latest start; major player with conditions in his favour. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 12 (13) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Fairly useful on his day but he's not one to rely on and failed to beat a rival in 6f Hamilton handicap two weeks ago; others are much preferred. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His wins have come on slow ground but he was beaten only 3l in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) last month; that was a creditable effort after a slow start and he ran well over this trip at Ayr on his penultimate run; could be dangerous. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
A dual 7f scorer for Archie Watson in 2025 and he signed off for the yard with a solid sixth at Kempton (7f) 57 days ago; since changed hands for 20,000gns and he can't be discounted for his new handler. |
14/1 |

6th 6 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; the winner of three of his nine runs for Archie Watson, including two wins and a second from three AW starts; bumped into a promising filly at Kempton six weeks ago but his subsequent 3lb rise won't help matters. |
7/1 |
|

19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Has lacked consistency on turf but remains unexposed on AW and his C&D success last week took record in this sphere to 2-2; highly respected under 5lb penalty kept to this scenario. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; flashed home to win a 7f handicap at Chester in May but it has been a mixed bag since, including dropped into a seller at Chester four weeks ago; dangerous mark if the addition of a tongue tie has a positive effect. |
10/1 |
|
4 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Last-gasp winner of a Class 3 handicap here (7f, good) in May but he hasn't matched that form since and was well held over C&D (good to soft) last time; hood now returns but this is highly competitive for a seller and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Produced a strong finish for a last-gasp success off this mark here (7f, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level since but he had some serious traffic issues when a creditable third here last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and could be a big factor if he gets the breaks. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed the 12th win of his career (including one over C&D) at Newmarket (1m, good) in May but hasn't hit the same level in five subsequent runs; has dipped to 1lb above the mark he defied on the Rowley Mile but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
25/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Back on form to take advantage of a reduced mark in 7f Musselburgh handicap (good) three weeks ago; this is harder but the fact she was second in a Group 3 in France as a juvenile provides some hope. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

Should be on a good mark but last year was mostly underwhelming and so too her comeback effort over C&D; opposable. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

She's well handicapped on 2024 2yo form; last year wasn't devoid of spark but it was an underwhelming campaign and she has to raise her game. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Still to add to his debut win in 14 subsequent outings and it has been tough going so far for this stable; now drops into a Class 6 and a revival wouldn't be out of the question. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Well down the field on all four starts for Jim Goldie this season (6f-7f), most recently in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton on Wednesday; stable has more obvious chance with Ashen. |

7th 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Won over C&D on his debut when with Richard Fahey (good); hasn't won since and well beaten in three starts for Jim Goldie this time round; plenty to prove at present. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
All five wins at 6f-1m, the latest at Doncaster in March 2024 off 20lb lower and now on a career-low mark; has dwelt at the start on his last two runs and first-time blinkers worn last time are retained; cannot discount but losing run is offputting. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner at 7f who won the Spring Mile on turf in 2024; winless since but there were some flickers of life this summer before he faded at Chepstow 18 days ago; on a handy mark now and he might be more effective back on this track with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |

C&D winner who was beaten just 1l when second at Leicester in June and is now 6lb lower; however, soundly beaten on his three runs since (C&D last time) and the first-time visor needs to prompt a revival. |

8st 8lb |
Ended 2025 in poor form on AW and was always behind when reappearing at Chester (7f) in July; continues to slide down the weights but he has plenty to prove after another break; cheekpieces reapplied. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien but he struggled last season at trips ranging from 5f to 2m; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's now 1-16 and needs a major revival after 202 days off. |
