21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Stable stalwart; just 1lb higher than for his front-running C&D win last November (soft) but his two runs this year have been unconvincing; will no doubt pop up at some point but perhaps in a race with less pace pressure. |
16/1 |
|
14th 7 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He has been a fine advertisement for Katie Scott, winning 13 races over 7f and 1m; 0-6 at this trip but he was beaten less than one length in the 2023 Ayr Gold Cup; recent Musselburgh return should have blown away the cobwebs but others are still more appealing for win purposes. |
33/1 |

7th 5 (10) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Often leads; superb 9yo with six course wins, the latest over C&D (soft) in November; not weighted out of it off the same mark as his second to Persuasion here last April but he's had a much longer break this time and is drawn widest. |

21st Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Multiple winner for Keith Dalgleish and was rated higher in his prime; has form figures of 2234 for new stable and again has frame possibilities; scored over C&D in 2022. |

4th 5 (3) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |

Won at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May for the now-retired Keith Dalgleish and has form figures of 223 for his current yard; this return to Tapeta is no problem and he has each-way claims again. |

Won at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May for the now-retired Keith Dalgleish and he's been a good second on his first two starts for this yard (1m, good to soft/soft); there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and made some late gains when sixth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he could go well again on this step back up in trip. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |
25/1 |

12th 15 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |
66/1 |

12th 10 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |

Showed he still had it what it takes when gaining his ninth course success at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September and ran well despite a 10lb rise back there 12 days later; has tended to need his reappearance in recent years. |

9st 8lb |
Easy winner of a soft-ground Ripon handicap on 2022 reappearance but hasn't built on it since and he was found to have bled from the nose when tailed off on his seasonal return at the same venue seven weeks ago. |
10/1 |

29th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Easy winner of a soft-ground C&D handicap on last season's reappearance; couldn't build on it subsequently but he starts this campaign off a more manageable mark; gelded since last seen; there are reasons to be positive but stall 13 isn't one of them. |

9yo who capitalised on some leniency from the handicapper to win at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago; goes well there but he's a C&D winner too and he should be in the thick of things again from just 2lb higher. |
6/1 |

11st 10lb |
A fair 2m3f hurdles scorer for John Joseph Hanlon but he ended his time there below par; starts out for his new yard on a handy-looking mark though so he's not without interest on the back of wind surgery; visor replaces blinkers. |

Well handicapped on last year's best form (including on turf) and ran okay when third of six at Southwell (1m, AW) last month; however, he's been hard to win with on grass and looks vulnerable back up in grade. |
