Got up late to win a 7.5f handicap at Beverley in April (good to soft), his ninth start; last of six at Ayr one month later; stable have stronger claims elsewhere. |

Showed improved form to win at Beverley on reappearance (7.5f, good to soft), staying on well to get up close home; this easier 7f may not be ideal. |

9st 11lb |
Unexposed filly who ran a fine race when a front-running second of 12 at Beverley on her handicap debut last month (7.5f, good to soft; cheekpieces for the first time); up 3lb but still capable of better. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In good form in the spring, winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) before near misses at Thirsk and over C&D; not at his best on his last two starts but this is an ease in class and he's a major player in his bid to win this race for a second time (successful in 2024). |
7/2 |

7th 8 (11) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

In a consistent vein of form over 1m until below par over 1m1f last time; went very close over C&D on penultimate start and could go well returned to his usual trip. |
10/1 |

10th 12 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April; good runner-up efforts at Thirsk (1m, good) and Ayr (1m, good to firm) since; the line came a couple of strides too soon for his strong finish at Ayr and the extra yardage this afternoon may help; enters calculations. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here. |
2/1 |
|
6th 7 (12) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Only his third run for Jim Goldie when scoring at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and off a 2lb rise he was a closing third over 1m1f here (good) when not assisted by his track position; bang in form and should run well. |
15/8 |
|
3rd 15 (13) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Just his third run for Jim Goldie when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Hamilton (1m1f, good) nine days ago; only nudged up 2lb and remains well treated on old form (won last year's Spring Mile at Doncaster off 10lb higher); top of the list. |

19th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Showed promise in two AW races (6f-7f) but was entitled to run better the final time at Wolverhampton (6f); has a fair bit to prove off this mark switching to soft turf. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (10) |
4th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has shown clear promise in a couple of AW races, finishing third over 6f at Chelmsford then 2l fourth over 7f at Newcastle; beaten favourite last time but still ran creditably; major contender on the figures. |
5/2 |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Went close off 8lb higher in this race (good) last year but he's generally struggled since (Flat and hurdles) and was a remote fourth of five here last time; that took his losing run to 12 and others are preferred. |
15/2 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won over 1m6f here last August off 3lb higher but below form since; showed a bit more when third of five over C&D (good) 19 days ago, however, and a further 2lb drop in the weights gives him a fighting chance. |
5/2 |

2 (3) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Now 1lb lower than his win here over 1m6f (good) last August but he's been well beaten in three starts this summer, on this track and at Ayr; bit to prove. |

Well handicapped on pick of this year's AW form but finished well down the field on both starts last month (1m1f/7f) and is now 0-23 on turf. |

Kept busy and largely in good form without winning on the AW this season; beat one back on turf in 1m1f Carlisle handicap two weeks ago though so has a bit to prove. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on this surface but his sole win came over 1m3f at Carlisle in 2023 and mostly campaigned at that trip and further since; major query back at 1m for first time in the best part of three years. |
16/1 |

4 (12) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Only win was over 1m3f at Carlisle in July 2023 (good to soft); several decent placed efforts this season, and would have a chance on that form, but rather disappointing on last two starts. |
20/1 |

10th 14 (14) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in four of his last six starts including a close call over C&D (soft) in July; on same mark here but he didn't fire at Ayr last time and that took his record to 1-21; tongue-tie worn last time is removed. |

18th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Of interest on the pick of his 2yo form but he's been struggling this year; down to a good mark but he has stamina to prove and there are risks involved. |
16/1 |

10th 3 (2) |
29th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Second of ten in a maiden over C&D last summer but has gone badly the wrong way since (gelded before penultimate outing); cheekpieces given a go but a major turnaround is required. |

|
9th 6 (1) |
22nd May 2023 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |

Not badly treated on a couple of her maiden efforts; however, down the field in two handicap attempts, latest at Beverley (7.5f) on seasonal debut; doesn't look a solid option. |

10th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
First-time blinkers brought about improvement when runner-up on soft ground over C&D last time; she's previously finished tailed off behind Star Start at Beverley, however, and whether she repeats the effort is the question. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (13) |
21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ran respectably in a Beverley handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month but was behind Lincoln Rockstar in that race and she flopped back at that track (soft) on Tuesday; has something to prove again after that heavy defeat and others are preferred; blinkers added. |
20/1 |

9th 11 (10) |
18th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Ran her best race in handicaps when sixth of ten over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); has shown promise on soft; needs more to win but her pedigree offers hope that it could be forthcoming at some stage. |

Promising fourth in Yarmouth nursery (6f, good to soft) on final 2yo start on sole run in blinkers; no headgear on reappearance at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) in April, when tailed off; cheekpieces return here but they didn't have a positive impact last July; his claims aren't compelling. |

12th 10 (8) |
19th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Didn't really progress after a likeable debut here and the blinkers that helped in his second handicap (6f, good to soft) are left at home this time; goes over 7f for the first time and rather watch. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Began his career with two encouraging efforts at this track and also ran well on his handicap debut at Ayr (7f, good) in May; absent since finishing well beaten at Haydock four months ago (badly hampered and eased); each-way claims if running near his best. |

25th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Bits of promise on Tapeta at Newcastle during the winter; made an encouraging turf/handicap debut at Ayr (7f, good; finished third) on return from break; still unexposed; interesting off the same mark. |

3rd 6 (6) |
8th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
