1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Career win number 10 when scoring at Beverley (1m2f, soft) in April but he's not matched that form since; now 8lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained three of his ten wins over this C&D, the latest off 4lb higher on seasonal debut in April; has rather mixed record since and was particularly disappointing when last in action but is versatile regarding ground and can't be ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
4th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who has done most of his winning at Hamilton/Beverley, most recently off 2lb lower in April; form has stagnated since and he's not the percentage call at this venue. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

12th 8 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |
25/1 |
|
6 (4) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Tough veteran; winner over 1m1f at Musselburgh in July (good) and close second to prolific winner Jannas Journey (won next time) over 7f at Musselburgh last time (good to soft); could go well but not sure 1m2f on soft are his ideal conditions. |
