13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
10yo who may prefer slow ground but the going was good when he was fourth of 21 in this in 2024; often runs well here and he reappeared with a creditable fourth of 19 at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in March; each-way possible. |
33/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Running in this race for the fourth time, having finished second in 2022 and 2024 and ninth last year; can go well fresh and he retained a good chunk of ability last year; should be arriving on the scene late. |
14/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Not prolific for one of his ability but 6f on slow ground suits him well and he confirmed the promise of his fine run in the Ayr Bronze Cup when winning back at Ayr two weeks ago (6f, heavy); 3lb rise not excessive and he should make another bold bid. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time winner, notably the 2023 Ayr Silver Cup, but two years have passed since the last victory; retained ability in a mixed 2025 campaign and he should be sharper with a run under his belt; drying ground won't be in his favour here though. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
One of the oldest contenders in this field and has done his winning over 6f/7f, mostly on ground softer than good; could well be tapped for toe in this belated first attempt at the minimum trip. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Without a win since May 2024 but runner-up on three of his last four starts (6f/7f, good to soft/heavy) and his turn may well be near. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four wins have come on good to soft/soft ground later in the year and he wants a good test over this trip on good ground; turned in a solid comeback effort over C&D in March but there's little room for error off this mark and he has his quirks. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the huge promise of his early form for William Haggas but he retains a good chunk of ability and enjoyed a resurgence last autumn, notably when a comfortable winner over C&D (soft) in October; disappointed when last seen but he should be in for another good year; back from a break is perhaps not the time to catch him but market should give clues. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Turf wins as a 2yo came on soft/heavy ground and the midweek rain will have helped, although he'd have preferred more; highly consistent but a 2lb rise for his recent AW win puts him on a career-high mark into a more competitive handicap, down from 6f. |
7/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have been on turf but he's unexposed on AW and has finished close up over C&D and at Newcastle (5f) in his two runs this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back up in trip. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-13 but gained the win off 3lb higher in sole C&D attempt (for previous yard); interesting back here, assuming she takes to blinkers (replacing the cheekpieces worn last time). |
10/1 |
|
13 (11) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
6f AW winner for William Haggas last summer; ran well for second (short head behind Station X and now 5lb better off) on her stable debut here last November; slow start to this campaign but there was much more to take from her latest Ayr fifth (behind Lord Bertie and Station X); unexposed on testing ground and she's one to consider. |
18/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up in two 6f nurseries on heavy/soft ground last autumn; down the field on both outings this year and has something to prove, but those were on good going and maybe today's testing conditions will trigger a revival. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Record of 0-9 this season but she's much better off with Jannas Journey on C&D running four starts ago; successful off higher marks in this race for the last two years; very attractively weighted and warrants respect. |
11/2 |

6th 9 (3) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Soft-ground winner who is below her last winning mark and ran some pretty good races in defeat last month; however, she made it 0-8 for the year when finishing last here (7f, soft) last week and has to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9 (4) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

In reasonable form, having made the frame in last three starts, latest over C&D when one place behind Quest For Fun; 2lb below last winning mark; enters the reckoning. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Went off the boil towards the end of last season and also below his best on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh, taking his losing sequence to 15; however, this two-time C&D winner may have needed that latest outing and he's well handicapped on last year's best course form; not ruled out. |
4/1 |

6th 9 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

0-14 since winning four of his five starts between October 2023 and May 2024, but is 2-5 around here and very well treated on form as recently as last summer; off five months, but is proven fresh. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All of his four wins have been at 6f on turf and last three were in 2024; well handicapped on old form but he was out of sorts in the autumn and has something to prove back up in trip for new yard (changed hands for 1,500gns). |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 6f wins last autumn, two of them on heavy ground; lightly raced this year but unable to threaten on soft going on his two outings last month and he needs to raise his game. |
14/1 |

6 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Mudlark; won three times over 6f last year on going ranging from good to soft to heavy; not quite as his best in three runs this season (bled from the nose last time) but could bounce back with a hood tried (can race keenly). |

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. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Her form has been mixed this season and she was soundly beaten at Carlisle last time; however, she's running at Hamilton for the first time this year and nine of her 11 wins have come over C&D; she's 10lb lower than when winning here last August and could bounce back with a bold show. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Eleven turf wins, mostly at Hamilton but once over C&D, on ground ranging from soft to good to firm; weighted to find another race and will be suited by returning to a track with a stiff finish following her persevering fourth at Ayr 13 days ago; thereabouts. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Runaway win in a 2yo novice at Salisbury (6f, good) for Eve Johnson Houghton in 2023; mixed results in eight runs since but he was a front-running third in a conditions race in Qatar (7f) in May; on dangerous mark now back in Britain and he's not ruled out on this return to sprinting. |
