2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr. |
9/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way in the autumn; has dropped to a favourable mark as a result (went close off 5lb higher last autumn) but a losing run of 21 doesn't inspire confidence; first start for 140 days. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Hasn't really threatened on his three runs this year but has been in fair form and he won by 4l over C&D (good) last July on his last visit to Ayr; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; could go well. |
5/1 |

4 (7) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Consistent last year; hasn't threatened on either outing this season but he kept on for a fair fourth in a warm race at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last time and may benefit from this step back up in trip; unraced on slow ground; cheekpieces go back on, which he wore for his last win; chance. |

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. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best and it's not worked out for him this season, including in three races at Pontefract where he has a good record; continues to creep down the weights. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
9yo who has been a grand servant to the yard with nine wins but he's not so good as he once was; needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best; now on a career-low mark and others preferred. |

Runner-up on his first two starts this season (1m2f, good/AW) but down the field on his three runs since and needs to get back on track. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who has won at this track but who is better known for his exploits at Ayr; solid third at that track 16 days ago (1m1f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away if backing it up. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who has won 11 times here, including three last year (1m2f/1m5f); on a good mark and should come on for his run at Musselburgh last week; contender. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |
8/1 |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |
