29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |

11th 3 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Won three 5f AW handicaps through the winter but his last three efforts were nothing to shout about; capable on turf but needs to turn a corner. |

In good form for much of the winter, winning three 5f handicaps, but his form has cooled on his last two starts; others look stronger in this grade. |

Respectable third over C&D (good to firm) last month but two lesser Ayr runs have followed, including on Monday. |
12/1 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |
12/1 |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Course scorer who got back on track with third of five in 5f Catterick handicap 13 days ago; needs considering from an easing mark. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Gained a second win of 2026 at Carlisle (5f) in May but he's been well below par over C&D and at Newcastle since; needs to take a big step forward. |
10/1 |

8th 9 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in 5f Class 5 handicaps in 2026, at this track in February and then when beating Fierce at Carlisle three weeks ago; stable form is a plus but he needs to bounce back from a quiet run at Hamilton. |
10/1 |
|

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Bounced back to form at Leicester (5f, good to firm) but beat only two rivals and has gone back up 5lb for that win; returns to a deeper field, albeit has landed the plum draw. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Scored off today's mark over 5f on Tapeta in November and is also suited by fast turf but returned from four-month break with disappointing 6f run 19 days ago and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |
7/2 |

3rd 9 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |

7th 6 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Not at his best since returning from a nine-month absence, just fifth to Digital over C&D last time out; more is required from this C&D winner. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |
|
13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Four wins divided between turf and the AW; some sign of returning to form from off the pace at Newcastle 20 days ago (5f); possible. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has an ordinary strike-rate overall but he broke his turf duck over C&D (good to soft; acts well on good to firm) in June and nearly always runs well in sprints on this track; one of the better options. |
9/4 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Only win in 19 turf runs was at Hamilton in June (6f, good to soft); close third to Jm Jhingree (runs in the 2.30) in a 5f Hamilton seller last month (good) and close fourth in a 5f handicap there on Saturday; each-way chance. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

10st 0lb |
Scored five times (including over C&D) in 2025; in very good nick lately too, second for the third consecutive start in 6f handicap here last month; a likely player once more off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 8 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Two 5f wins last October (good/AW) and runner-up over that trip on last two starts (good/good to firm), finishing well each time and shaping as though this return to 6f is well worth exploring; could play a leading role if conditions suit; best turf efforts have come on good/good to firm. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Far from consistent this season but got up in the final strides over C&D (good to firm; off 1lb higher) in May; possibilities provided he's back in similar form and the race again pans out favourably. |

5th 6 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Back off the same mark as when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f, good) in May, but he hasn't proved very consistent so far this year so not quite sure what to expect. |

9th 2 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |

11th 8 (10) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark. |
