22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice over 1m2f on good to soft ground last year, but his four efforts since returning in April have been moderate to say the least; 3lb below his last winning mark but has plenty to prove. |

10st 3lb |
Won twice during light campaign last season (1m2f, good to soft; including here); however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

12th 8 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

On workable mark if judged on pick of form from first half of last year but returned from break with disappointing run in the autumn and has been absent for another 285 days since. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
5th Nov 2024 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |

Has won on good to soft; losing turf run goes back more than a year but she ran up to her recent best when second of 14 at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in June; needs to be on song to win off this mark back from break. |

All wins on good/good to soft, the most recent off 2lb lower at Wetherby in May; form dipped at Ayr last time and he is now conceding weight to several 3yos who are much less exposed; opposed. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who posted a fairly encouraging reappearance run at Ayr (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, when rallying for fifth of eight; each-way possibilities if building on that run now back up in trip. |
33/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
10yo who made a winning reappearance here in 2024 (sole course win from 29 attempts) and was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh last September; however, his campaign petered out tamely and a return to form is needed on his seasonal debut. |
25/1 |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |

Not a regular winner; successful at Musselburgh last September (1m, good) but form tailed off after that and lacks a run this time. |

25th Mar 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Things fell ideally when winning a weak C&D handicap off a 3lb lower mark last autumn; the cheekpieces worn for the first time that day go back on tonight, but two lesser efforts since (one over hurdles) will need forgiving. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Fair Flat-racer who has made the frame on all five hurdling starts, most recently when close third at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in May; that form isn't anything out of the ordinary but, nevertheless, he has each-way claims again. |
4/1 |

7th 5 (2) |
27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ran creditably last month at Doncaster (1m4f) and Cartmel (2m1f novice hurdle); not far away on that evidence but others are preferred for the win. |

12th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
0-8 and well beaten when placed in 7f maidens the last twice (good to firm/good to soft) but he's on a competitive mark now back in a handicap and has shown promise on soft ground; might not be far away. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
27th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in four of his last five starts, two of those in nurseries; 6l second when returned to maiden company at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) latest; should be involved but remains vulnerable in this company for win purposes. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in his first three starts after returning in April, his best effort when beaten half a length on handicap debut here (7.7f, good to firm) in May (form worked out very well); didn't appear to stay when eighth of ten at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time and should appreciate the return to this trip; respected. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

0-12 (Flat and hurdles) for current stable; edging down the weights but she doesn't look in the sort of form required to capitalise, especially from the widest stall. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
9yo who went 0-11 last year and was soundly beaten on last month's reappearance at Catterick; however, he may have needed that latest run and is on a competitive mark judged on last season's placed form. |
9/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course winner who is on a competitive mark on last season's efforts, which came over 1m5f-2m1f; however, this 9yo went 0-11 last term and today's reappearance trip may prove to be inadequate. |
