4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Back-to-back wins at Hamilton last September (6f); regular cheekpieces were left off for return and he shaped as if needing the run; can build on that in refitted headgear here; last AW run (over C&D) was his best effort on an artificial surface. |
7/1 |
|
11th 7 (5) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored twice on a soft surface over 6f at Hamilton last September, but was weak in the market when failing in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract (6f, soft) the following month; may need this first start in six months and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |

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 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March on third stable start then went one better at Southwell (7f, AW); won on turf at the Curragh (6f, soft) last March and this stiff 6f could be a good fit; she's one to consider, especially if slow ground prevails. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (8) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Fair ex-Irish 6f winner who got right back on track for her new yard under more patient tactics when second of nine in 7f Wolverhampton handicap three days ago; a player nudged up 1lb. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well suited by soft ground; shaped fairly for her new yard over C&D in January and, while she didn't build on that last time, she lacked consistency in Ireland so may well bounce back. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Underwhelming on his three starts since promising reappearance run at Doncaster in March; however, he has a strong record at Hamilton and is running here for the first time this season; slow ground would be a positive. |
13/2 |
|
6th 9 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple sprint handicap wins since 2022, all on soft or slower; back in action with a good fourth of 17 at Doncaster in March and, although he hasn't done as well since, he'd come into it if there's significant rain. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (6f, AW) last November but he's been well below that level in cheekpieces/blinkers on AW/turf on his three outings this spring. |
25/1 |

8th 10 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded sole success in 6f AW event last November; below par kept to that sphere in 2026 and remains inconsistent for current stable; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Signed off last season with a win over 6f at Newcastle and, although only sixth here after a break 17 days ago, he only faded late on; could be happier over this extra furlong. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
She won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and her current mark isn't necessarily beyond her; a market check is advised but she may need this comeback run. |

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. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Dual course winner (6f) who also notched back-to-back victories at Musselburgh and Newcastle (both 5f) last October; ran her best race since - flashed home after fluffing the start - at Hamilton on Friday evening; sits 1lb lower, and also has the excellent Lauren Young claiming 5lb. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored five times, including over C&D, last year; made some late headway back here last time on return from break and may be back in top form with that outing under her belt. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Won at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last July when 6lb higher; a market check is advised but she's struggled so far this season. |

11th 10 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |

12th 4 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

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. |
13/2 |
|
10th 13 (1) |
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. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has form at several different venues but is ideally suited by Hamilton, having done nearly all of her winning there; below par last time, failing to back up reappearance effort; 0-9 at Ayr. |
