Form & Verdict

T: Jim Goldie

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.

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.

T: Jim Goldie

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.

Form & Verdict
Twice placed, but still seeking a first win (0-5); reasonably consistent though, and twice met trouble when sixth of ten at Chester (7.5f, good to firm) five weeks ago; 3lb lower now but is untested on ground softer than good; needs a fraction more.

Won twice over 7f for Richard Fahey in 2024; not added to that tally since, and has been below-par in three starts for new yard; tries a new trip and runs with first-time tongue-tie and blinkers which need to have a positive impact.

Won twice for Richard Fahey in the summer of 2024 but lost his way; sold for 10,000gns to join new yard in October; gambled on but well held on stable debut at Thirsk (7f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (now removed); may be worth another chance off sliding mark.

Form & Verdict
Won twice, including here, as 2yo (7f-1m); bounced back from a laboured effort when a creditable fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (7f, soft) latterly; could build on that from a still-easing mark.

Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with two placed runs last month, the latter in Class 4 C&D contest; ought to pose a potent threat at this lower level.

Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with a close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) this month, his second run this season, and remains well handicapped on some of last year's placed form; a possible.

On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr.

Form & Verdict
Steadily getting to grips with racing and, despite carrying his head awkwardly, wasn't beaten all that far when upped to 1m2f in a Doncaster novice (good; first-time hood, retained) three weeks ago; drops back to 1m for handicap debut.

Some promise at a modest level for Charles Hills without winning and was sold on for 7,000gns; down the field in two Flat races for current yard (1m2f/1m3f) and makes very limited appeal on this switch to hurdling.

Form & Verdict
Twice placed in novice company since fitted with a tongue-tie, including when no match for the progressive Poet Master over 7f here (good) a fortnight ago; steps up in trip, which should suit on pedigree, for handicap debut in softer conditions; a likely candidate.

0-7; having been gelded and undergone wind surgery he made a promising return/stable debut when third of 16 at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month, but twice held since including when around 5l behind Blueflagflyinghigh at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; switch to blinkers will need to make a difference.
