2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles but that could change now he's into handicap company; market confidence would be welcomed. |

2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles and probably one for handicaps. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Has failed to shine in two attempts over hurdles and may be more interesting in handicaps shortly; otherwise retains potential judged on Flat record (2-4; best RPR 85). |

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. |

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. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) this April; backed that up when second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and this is easier than the York Dante meeting handicap he contested last time. |
5/1 |
|
9th 8 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f) this April; second of six when 10-11 at Doncaster (1m4f, again good to firm) 12 days later, which was just as good on form; each-way contender but a bit extra is needed if he's to take this. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Took advantage of a drop in class and a career-low mark when making it 2-3 at Redcar on his recent comeback; tonight's extra distance and similarly long home straight won't hurt and he holds obvious claims off 4lb higher. |

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 |
|
10th 11 (6) |
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. |

3rd 6 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good); beat bang-in-form stablemate last time and a 5lb higher mark might not stop this course winner. |
5/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins (C&D, 1m6f and 2m1f) in summer 2024 and, from a reduced mark, back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (1m4f) three weeks ago when arriving very late on the scene at 20-1 under Lauren Young to deny Fast Fred; back up 4lb but could take another step back up the ladder. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Three wins (1m3f, 1m6f and 2m1f) in summer 2024 and he's 7lb below his last winning mark; struggled to get competitive last year until his running-on fifth under Lauren Young in a blanket finish on final start (1m4f, soft); reappearance record isn't great and today's test may be a bit too sharp for him. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Yet to win under rules; has shown modest form in three runs over hurdles since his last race on the Flat last October; hard to fancy. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Second in a four-runner Pontefract maiden (1m2f, good) last July, when with Harry Eustace; well beaten/pulled up in two starts at Wetherby since joining current trainer and going over hurdles; plenty to prove. |
16/1 |
|

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Regressive maiden on the Flat and tailed off at 50-1 over C&D (soft) on last month's hurdle debut; a hood goes on. |
