10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated. |

4th 6 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |

1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Ex-Jedd O'Keeffe; campaigned on the Flat (3218) by this trainer until returning to hurdles with a bang in Class 4 at Perth (2m, good; won by just over 2l, 15-2); 6lb higher in a more competitive contest but, as the Morebattle Hurdle has shown, this trainer isn't fazed by aiming high. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Disappointed on the Flat a fortnight ago but had been in good form in that sphere for new stable beforehand, most notably when winning over 2m two starts ago; reverts to hurdling on a good mark; high on the list. |

2nd 4 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who was a clear runner-up behind a rejuvenated winner at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a fortnight ago before a remarkable 21l win at Chester (2m, good to soft) last Friday; that latest race was an apprentice handicap so he escapes a penalty today; this course winner could be tough to beat. |
6/4 |
|
1st 5 (9) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) in May and at Musselburgh (2m, good) the following month; down the field at the latter track last month but bounced back to form with a good second of eight at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a week ago, pulling clear of the rest with the winner who was since won again; may not have his own way in front but has to be respected; due to be 2lb higher. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered two unchallenged wins from the front (around 2m, good to firm/good) on his first and third starts of the year; can probably be forgiven his latest effort over 2m2f ten days ago and he remains feasibly treated; considered. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D win in June (good ground) and he has performed to a fair level in defeat since; has more races in him but suspicion he would prefer quicker ground. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
9-70, with the most recent success coming at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in June off a 3lb lower mark than today's; consistent since and this hold-up performer has claims if things drop favourably. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has plenty of Musselburgh form, including three wins, but looks far from solid on his efforts for new yard and sometimes blows the start; returns to Class 6 for first time since 2023. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Three course wins, the latest last August, and he's well treated on that form (even from out of the weights today); however, this season's form has been mixed and others have more pressing claims. |
33/1 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 1m4f here, the latest off 4lb higher last August (good) when with Dianne Sayer; tailed off over 1m5f here last time (slowly away); takes a significant drop in trip; cheekpieces tried. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Soft-ground win (1m4f) for Ed Walker last summer; two heavy defeats for new stable this summer and may need more weight off her back. |
40/1 |
|
13th 9 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A fair 1m4f winner for Ed Walker in 2025; off ten months and failed to beat a rival on her yard debut in 1m5f handicap here four weeks ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made winning handicap debut for Ed Walker at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) last summer but was sold for 13,000gns after a lesser effort in September and this stable debut comes after a 292-day break; market may guide. |
