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. |

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. |

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. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Below par on final two starts last year and same story on recent reappearance over 1m at Ayr; however, she's back up to a more suitable trip today and is 6lb below her last winning mark; not written off. |
14/1 |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Campaigned mostly at longer trips (stays 12.5f) and offered little back over 1m at Newcastle in early December. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in August; ran okay when third over C&D (soft) nine days ago but was no match for the first two (including Cisco Disco); needs something extra. |

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. |

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 |
8st 10lb |
Not a regular winner; successful at Musselburgh last September (1m, good) but form tailed off after that and lacks a run this time. |

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. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Won over 7f here on his seasonal reappearance in 2024 (good) and was fourth over 1m here after a break in May last year, so could go well despite lack of a recent run. |
14/1 |
|
9 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Two-time course winner, the latest in July (1m2f, good to soft), and she's effective on soft ground; well beaten at Musselburgh on last two starts and has something to prove, but the latest was over 1m6f and perhaps the drop back in trip and return to Ayr will be the catalyst for a revival. |

21st Apr 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
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 |
