10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent and has failed to shine on last two starts but may have been unsuited by soft ground then Tapeta; runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August then fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) where he was denied a clear run, and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big effort. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three turf wins to his name; patchy record in 2025 though and others are more appealing in today's field. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Looked unfortunate when beaten less than a length into second of seven at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) since; acts on ground ranging from good to firm to good to soft; still 2lb below last winning mark; a player. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A dual 7f winner early in 2026 and he's holding his form well, beaten a nose when second of five in 7f Ayr handicap 25 days ago; this C&D scorer can make his presence felt. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has won twice over 7f this year, the first at Newcastle in January, the latest at Musselburgh in April (good); creditable third on last three starts, latest over C&D three weeks ago; each-way chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple wins include three over C&D earlier in his career; has run well on occasions since a narrow Musselburgh win (7f, good) in April off this mark and a recent never-nearer third of eight there under Jake Dickson puts him in this picture; yard runs three. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Hat-trick of wins in 2024 (7f/1m); not scored since, and mainly out of form this year; handles these conditions and really well treated at present, but needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |
|
11th 4 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual C&D winner but his last success was in May 2024 and he's not finished closer than fifth in his seven runs this season; needs to find more back up in trip. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Winless since 7f success here in May 2024 and has yet to find his true form this year (beaten favourite three times; behind Mr Cool here last time) but he ran well on occasions in better 6f races than this in 2025 and won't mind what the weather does; quite well treated now and a revival could be imminent. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who has been a prolific winner down the years, including at Carlisle; not solid on 2026 form but this drop back in grade may have positive effect; successful in last Class 5 attempt. |
11/1 |
|
6th 10 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |
25/1 |
|
12th 15 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recent efforts have not been his best but he's a dual C&D winner who has never been this low in the weights; a revival would come as no surprise. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Versatile ground-wise and comes into this off the back of a narrow success at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago; only 3lb higher but he may be better over a furlong shorter. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Versatile ground-wise and all four wins have been at 7f on turf; his mixed record this season but he wasn't beaten far at Ayr (1m) last time and is now only 1lb higher than for his last success; not ruled out back in trip. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins have been at 7f but he hasn't had many chances at this trip, over which he ran third on his penultimate start at Carlisle; had a break since a bad run in June and has possibilities. |

9st 10lb |
Won twice over 7f as a 2yo for Jim Bolger; sold for 10,000gns last October; seventh of ten on stable debut at Ayr (7f, good) in July and needs to come down the weights before she can come into consideration. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Won twice over 7f as a 2yo when with Jim Bolger; ran a few decent races for him after that (second at Galway last July); bought for 10,000gns last October; perhaps best watched on stable debut. |

Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Missed out by a nose at Ripon last month (6f, good); 3lb higher in a stronger race but he has been rated much higher in the past; couldn't dismiss. |

2nd 9 (11) |
4th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Now 4lb lower than for his Catterick success 12 months ago; made a promising return at that track in April before plenty went wrong back there two weeks later; cheekpieces back on today; betting can help. |

Gained five of his nine wins over C&D, the latest eight days ago (good ground); still on workable mark under 4lb penalty and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

1st 4 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Gained four of his eight wins over this C&D; made the frame off today's mark on consecutive starts at Carlisle last month (7f, soft/1m, good) and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; respected. |
