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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Course win last September off this mark (8.3f, good to soft); never a threat over that trip here last month but he's a possible reviver in a race lacking depth. |

Just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to soft) last September; rarely seen on fast ground and although he has run well on it, he seems to needs a softer surface these days. |

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. |

Three-time Musselburgh winner (1m-1m1f; beat Tacitus by a neck last August); mostly struggling this season, albeit did shape a bit better when fifth (beaten 2l) to Zumaaty and Temper Trap at Hamilton last week; stablemate of Onthebunny. |

9-96; just failed to reel in Wyvern over 7f here in December but laboured since; weakened, well down the field at Ripon (1m, good; beaten 17l) latest; is fairly treated but the chances are that age is beginning to catch up with him. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Into the veteran stage but on a competitive mark on form as recent as December; recent Redcar run should have sharpened him up but others may have his measure for win purposes. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind. |

6th 3 (6) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Well served by slow ground and he won over this C&D (good to soft) in July; however, not at the same level at Nottingham (1m, good) last month and it was the same story here (7f, good to soft) yesterday. |
8/1 |

6th 10 (5) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Built on a solid reappearance third (7f, soft) when scoring over 1m here (good to soft) in July; hung left under pressure (not for the first time) when only fourth over the extended 1m at Nottingham six weeks ago but he did travel well for a long way and the return to 7f won't inconvenience him; the likely ground conditions will suit him, too, and his yard is in form, so there are reasons to be positive. |

Patchy form during a winless 2022 and well beaten on sole run this year (in February); however, he's won on both visits to Hamilton (in summer 2021) and is below his last winning mark; can't be written off. |
