17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Record of 0-4 this term for new yard but was placed under Shay Halton at Ripon on penultimate start and latest race didn't pan out favourably; has slipped to an attractive mark. |
10/1 |
|
8 (13) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark but that was from August 2023; third at Ripon ten days ago was his best result this term but he needs much better than that form if he's to turn the tables on Spartan Times. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark, but his abbreviated career since the start of last year (including two starts for this yard) suggests he hasn't been easy to train; needs the switch to a visor to help him get back on track. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Third in 1m4f handicaps at Musselburgh on her last two starts, staying on nicely on both occasions; drop back in trip on faster ground isn't sure to suit. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins came over C&D; hit flat spot but rallied for third under these conditions last week; obvious claims of turning the tables on winner Gemini Man given she was beaten two necks and has a 4lb pull; 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh enlisted too. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
A three-time C&D winner for Jim Goldie; much better signs for her new yard with sixth of 11 in 1m4f Hamilton handicap 18 days ago when set a lot to do; well in the mix if building on that here. |

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. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran with plenty of course form to his name; third of nine over 1m here last week (winner Runninsonofagun runs in the 4.00); one of three runners for the stable. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Veteran who has won three of his 58 races on turf, the latest over this trip at Musselburgh last September (good); has been a bit disappointing this season. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who is a C&D winner but has question marks over current form and whether he's still capable of cutting any mustard aged ten; gives classified grade a whirl. |

17th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
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. |
8/1 |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Scored over C&D last July and she got back on track with fourth of nine over C&D 16 days ago, despite going very freely; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Scored over C&D (good to soft) off 3lb higher last summer and returns here after respectable fifth at Musselburgh (1m, good) this month but has a modest strike-rate and a steadily regressive profile; others preferred. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Thoroughly exposed three-time winner who may need further now, with her last win coming at 1m2f; reappearance effort was underwhelming. |

21st Apr 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |

Won well off a similar mark over C&D (good to soft) last April; inconsistent since but the return to this scenario and drop back to 0-70 level may have positive effect; respected. |

13th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Near miss over C&D in December off 1lb higher; well beaten twice since, although he had an excuse last time having gone off too fast in a 1m2f amateur event here 11 days ago; can do better today. |
25/1 |
