midfield, pushed along and headway 2f out, switched left and towards near side under 2f out, soon ridden, made challenge inside final furlong, edged right and led inside final furlong, kept on (trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the gelding's apparent improvement in form) |

9st 1lb |
Inconsistent last season and tailed off over C&D when last seen; however, he's posted wins over C&D on two of his last four starts (good to soft/good) and can be bang there if at the top of his game on this return. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been below that level on his last three outings. |
12/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been disappointing in his last two runs and this is step back up in grade; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |

3rd 2 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |

Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Two-time course winner who has run the odd fair race this season but this 10yo is 0-11 in 2024 and has been soundly beaten the last twice. |

9st 0lb |
Veteran with nine wins to his name, latest of them over C&D (patiently ridden; led near finish) in August 2023, but 0-10 this season and he was well held on his most recent outing. |

11lb below his last winning mark and ran well when a close fourth of ten over C&D early last month, but twice held over 1m back here since; not quite sure what to expect. |

Finished well for fourth over 7f here two starts ago ago but faded into sixth when back up to 1m in refitted blinkers here last time and remains without a win this year; cheekpieces given another whirl today. |

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. |
11/2 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |

Six-time course winner who is lurking on a lowly mark; 2026 campaign yet to gather any momentum but Paul Mulrennan back on board and better could be forthcoming. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
9lb lower than for his Hamilton win last summer; struggling for form so far this season, however, and others bring more pressing claims. |

5th 8 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Six of his eight wins have come over 1m3f/1m4f here and is 6lb lower than for the most recent, but yet to click since returning in May; dual-handed stable won this in 2022 and 2023. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |

Not at her best in two runs for Lucinda Russell but she may have needed last month's return from a seven-month break; other pace to contend with here though. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
19th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A dual 1m scorer in 2023 for Jim Goldie but she signed off with a poor run at Newcastle (1m) on her first run for her current yard; she needs to hit the ground running after seven months off. |

7f course winner whose losing run is up to 19, but he could be given a chance on his fourth of 12 from 4lb higher in a 0-60 over C&D last month; had excuses when well beaten back here (7f) a fortnight ago; shortlisted. |

7f course winner; inconsistent form this year from 1m-1m2f; better efforts would give him claims; can probably put a line through latest Beverley effort (slipped on leaving stalls) but there's a bit for him to prove. |
