11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Completed a three-timer when winning over C&D (soft) last September off 5lb lower mark; good second over distance short of his best at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and should run well back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three (1m2f/1m4f) on the spin last August/September; disappointing in his last two races last year and again on reappearance three weeks ago, with 1m (he's unraced over this short since June 2023) a major worry today. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Southwell (1m4f) in March and has continued in good nick, undergoing wind surgery before third of 11 in 1m6f handicap there 33 days ago; very much one to consider in a change of headgear. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Inconsistent 7yo who was well held here last time but that was after an emphatic win in an amateur jockeys' event at this track (1m4f) last month; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he's effective at up to 2m; reapplied blinkers replace a visor. |
11/2 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins on the AW, the latest a 4l success over C&D last month; 6lb rise will demand more but still respected if maintaining his form; visor returns. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who battled well to pip Don Virginia in small field at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; ought to run his race again but others have more compelling form. |
12/1 |
|

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner who scored on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and came second on both subsequent hurdling starts (2m5f/2m; form well advertised by the two winners since); not at best when back on the Flat last month but a major player. |
6/4 |
|
6 (5) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won two handicaps (1m6f/2m) on the Flat last season and he's done well switched to hurdling for new yard since May including a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good); still has potential as a stayer on the Flat and he's in the mix back in this sphere. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) off this mark in December; beaten 2l when fourth of seven there nine days ago, despite failing to settle, and there's no reason to suggest he won't go well. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent veteran who made the frame on his last six appearances and is now back on same mark as for C&D win in December; likely to be on the premises. |

10st 12lb |
0-6 over hurdles when trained by Maurice Barnes and absent since heavy defeat in 2m4f Newcastle maiden in December; has better chance at the weights on this stable/handicap debut but fitness/stamina taken on trust. |
13/2 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
A good runner-up at Perth (2m4f) in May but he's shown little in three runs since, pulled up back there (2m4f) nine days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
