4th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Gives her all and wasn't beaten far when fourth to Rock Melody over C&D (soft) in August; should be thereabouts again, although she holds no secrets from the handicapper and others appeal more for win purposes. |

13th Aug 2024 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Usually leads or races prominently; two sprint wins in 2025, the latest over 6f at Thirsk (good to firm; when 3lb higher) last May, but he was quiet towards the end of the campaign and has been off since August; perhaps other days. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Two wins this year, the latest when making all over 6f at Thirsk in May; there have been some excuses since then and his record at this track means he can't be ignored. |

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Still below a winning mark despite two successes since March (5f on Tapeta and 6f on fast turf), but yet to oblige on genuinely slow turf and a record of 85577 around here doesn't set the pulse racing. |

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 |
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 |

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 |

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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including a defeat of Jonny Concrete here on good to firm); creditable in-frame efforts on two of three starts this year without necessarily suggesting he's ready to strike again. |
14/1 |

4th 3 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including here on good to firm); encouraging seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) last month and likely remains in better form than his subsequent Ripon ninth might suggest as he was second home on his side. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
4-27 at Hamilton, which has dominated his itinerary but he also has two wins elsewhere; made a respectable return to Flat over C&D two weeks ago under Lexie Clarkson and could build on that to get seriously involved. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently over today's trip (good to soft) in September; ended 2025 with two below-par hurdle runs, though, and would appeal more on ground slower than good. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
No longer the force of old but has performed well on all four starts since joining Ben Haslam in March, most recently when keeping-on third at Musselburgh (5f, good) a fortnight ago; big player if this race is run to suit usual come-from-behind tactics. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Seven-time winner; style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune and he has met trouble in two of his three runs for Ben Haslam; has the ability to win at this level and stall 1, while not optimal, should at least keep him clear of some of the traffic. |
9/2 |
|
4th 10 (5) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Seven-time winner with bucketloads of placed efforts to his name; both runs for this yard have been respectable and the return of cheekpieces is a definite plus. |

8th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins have come here (6f-7f) but last success was almost three years ago; finished close up at Redcar last April on his second run after wind surgery but he's had only two starts since and has finished last in both of them; opposable. |
20/1 |

12th 10 (6) |
18th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins have come at Newcastle (6f-7f); second run back from wind surgery when close up at Redcar (7f) but then trailed in last at Hamilton; modest strike-rate and has become hard to predict. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 (5) |
7th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Has run well in both starts since returning last month from wind surgery, as when third of 11 at Redcar (7f, soft) last time; drop in trip poses a question, as does a record of 3-42. |

28th Nov 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Sole win from 17 Flat starts came over 6f in 2022; that was modest form and she lost it on last three outings this year; failed to show she stays even 1m in that discipline. |
40/1 |
|
11th 4 (11) |
17th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In good form in the spring, placed four times (6f-8.5f), but she was well beaten at Newcastle on her recent return to action; inexperienced apprentice on board and drawn wide. |
16/1 |
|
3 (5) |
7th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Absent since heavy defeat at Thirsk in May but she slipped at the start and had been running well in defeat on turf previously; returns to action with yard going well and could be a contender. |
