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. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |
14/1 |

4th 10 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win in this race last year; in reasonable form on AW at Southwell in the spring but his first run since wind surgery, on Newcastle AW, was a poor effort. |

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. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |
4/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four wins last season included two here at 2m; never figured in this race last term but he's been in the frame all nine starts this year and was unlucky when fifth at this track in December on his last go at 1m4f; each-way prospects. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
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. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Beaten over 19l when third over C&D last month and now 0-8 over hurdles but ran big race when second over C&D (good) on stable debut in May and has strong claims if judged on that performance. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-15 under rules but showed improved form on his stable debut when runner-up over C&D (good) last month, following five months off; should come on from that outing and run well. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
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. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Latest of his two wins was in 2021; runner-up over hurdles last May but very opposable on what he's done since; off 260 days before latest start when he was remote at 200-1; first-time headgear this evening. |
100/1 |

11th 7 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up over hurdles last May but this 8yo has struggled to get competitive on his four starts since, one of those being on the Flat; races for the first time since last September and others make greater appeal. |
