10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Already a dual winner for current yard, going in over C&D in July; posted another solid effort with fourth of five over C&D last time; can't be discounted. |
7/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time turf winner who made 2-6 for Jim Goldie when justifying favouritism over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; respected. |
9/2 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained a breakthrough success at Pontefract (1m) in July and backed it up with a good second of five in handicap at Ripon (1m2f) 18 days ago; a player off the same mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Close second of five at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month before getting off the mark at the 16th attempt at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) eight days ago; had something to spare and she's respected under a penalty. |
5/2 |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
0-15 overall; Ayr (1m2f) 13 days ago saw her finish runner-up for the third time but she dictated the pace in a five-runner race that day and others seem to have more pressing claims. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won on debut at Ayr last August and runner-up in two of her three handicaps, finishing close up behind Cancelled over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago having made the running; 3lb better off with the winner for just under 1l; trainer won this with a 3yo last year; in the mix. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ready winner on debut at Ayr last August (7f) and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts to be runner-up in first handicap this June (8.3f, Hamilton); second crack at 1m2f when beaten 6l into third at the scene of her win latest; that trip may want revisiting at some stage but she makes some appeal over 1m here. |
6/4 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage filly who kept on for clear second behind unexposed rival on last month's handicap debut at Hamilton (8.3f, good); moves back up in trip and competes off same mark here; commands respect. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2024; run down late in refitted cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f) in June, and finished third (one place behind Mr Lincoln) over C&D next time; fast ground a plausible excuse for a lesser effort latest; runner-up in this last year. |

4th 2 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with two placed runs last month, the latter in Class 4 C&D contest; ought to pose a potent threat at this lower level. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with a close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) this month, his second run this season, and remains well handicapped on some of last year's placed form; a possible. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Placed three times, all on the AW, from four starts last season; hasn't progressed this year; well handicapped but others appeal more. |
11/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Reached the frame in her first three handicaps but her form has gone in the wrong direction in two runs this summer; may have been stretched when upped to 1m2f here last time but she's now 0-8 and others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Safely held over 7f recently and now 0-7 but made the frame on consecutive 8.3f starts at Nottingham in April, and the dam's side of her pedigree suggests she's well worth a crack at this new trip. |
