Not fully compelling on the balance of this season's form elsewhere; however, looks interesting back at Ayr having gained last two wins over C&D (including off 2lb higher). |

Nine-race maiden; back in much better form with close second over C&D (good) last month, proving suited by the return to a sound surface; respected off just 2lb higher in this similar event. |

A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |

Ordinary form since joining this stable from Adrian Keatley for whom he won two handicaps on quick ground, back-to-back in April 2022; rated 72 at this peak, now down to 48; hard to be confident, but perhaps unwise to write him off. |

Paid dearly for his 5l success at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft) in June; edging back down the weights now and not beaten far when sixth of 12 in a first-time tongue-tie at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last time, but still more needed; stable also runs Golden Melody. |

Dual turf winner for David O'Meara and twice ran with credit at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) a year ago, but five efforts on turf for this yard since April leave plenty to be desired; best watched for now. |

Dual AW winner over similar trip on Tapeta but no wins since 2021; while he wasn't beaten far in a Sligo claimer over this trip in August, he posted two lesser efforts subsequently that month; may need this after 148 days off. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |
6/5 |

1st 5 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
2.25l behind Spirit Catcher here last month (1m1f, good) and he is 2lb worse off with that rival today; did win well at Hamilton (1m3f, good) 18 days ago, however, and likely to be in the thick of it again. |
9/4 |

1st 8 (4) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |

Runner-up three consecutive times on Tapeta in March (1m-1m2f) and returned to turf with pretty good third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on Wednesday; should be fine over this longer trip; probably won't be far away. |

23rd Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

ducked left start, held up in last, smooth headway over 2f out, going easily but waiting for room against near rail over 1f out, soon switched left, pushed along and squeezed through to lead inside final furlong, readily |

1st 2 (2) |
12th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Five-time course winner, three of them over tonight's trip, latterly off 2lb lower last month; hit traffic in a messy affair at Wolverhampton latest and, while a bigger field would have been ideal (is usually dropped in and can pull), he's shortlisted. |

9st 1lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

0-13 since winning at Ayr last May but this two-time C&D winner has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); has won on good to soft; might not be far away. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Two wins this season and close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month; latest run was also on heavy when below form at Ayr (off his highest mark for a long time) but he's one to consider. |
11/1 |

7th 12 (7) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month and won comfortably at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) next time; only fourth of seven when unpenalised back at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) last Monday and a new 6lb higher mark has now kicked in, but he's not ruled out in view of his penultimate form. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
2nd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done his winning in Class 6; however, he's ahead of the assessor, having escaped a penalty for last week's comfortable success in apprentice event over C&D (good to soft); strong chance off the same mark. |

Dual good-ground winner (7f/1m); has run to a similar level in three of his last five starts, including over C&D (good to soft) latest when collared late on after trying to make all; should be competitive. |
