4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often blows the start and/or races too freely but is a six-time AW winner, most recently in 5f Wolverhampton classified on Monday; faces tougher task under 5lb penalty in this handicap and his turf strike-rate is 0-13. |
10/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not as good since missing more than a year, does most racing over 6f and will always come with risks, given a propensity to blow the start and/or pull hard; this is easier down to 0-50 company for the first time, though, and he's capable if it falls right. |
8/1 |

8th 5 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up performer who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January but he's not hit the same level since and has finished eighth in his three runs (Tapeta/turf); on dangerous mark but he has something to prove and slow starts can be an issue. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
14-66 and somewhat of a Hamilton Park specialist; creditable third to Vince L'Amour (Betweenthesticks second) over C&D on penultimate start but, that aside, she hasn't been overly competitive; easing mark (8lb below her last winning one) offers some hope. |
14/1 |
|
9th 5 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Best on good/firmer; 14-time winner who showed clear signs of a return to form at Ripon last time, finishing third; enters calculations off 6lb below last winning mark. |
13/2 |

3rd 6 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Prolific winner who is on a dangerous mark but she's been out of sorts since completing a double at Hamilton (5f, good) last August; has plenty to prove and needs to turn things around back in trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Gained three 6f wins on the AW last spring but he went off the boil and refused to race in the Ayr Silver Cup on his final outing; hard to see him breaking his turf duck after eight months off. |
25/1 |

11 (7) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
He had a very good run on AW in the spring, winning three in a row over 6f, but was last to finish on his latest start in May; it's hard to see him breaking his turf duck off an 18lb higher mark than his most recent defeat on grass in June 2024. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Multiple AW and turf winner from 5f-7f; back on his last winning turf mark from Ayr 13 months ago (has twice won on AW since); below par latest but not ruled out if able to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice (6f/7f) in February and he was a good second to a thriving rival over C&D in his bid for a hat-trick; beaten off a lower mark twice since and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
8/1 |

5th 9 (6) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Dual course winner last month who's continued in form since, faring best of those held up when not far behind Bomb Squad over C&D on Friday; one of the likelier winners. |

8th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One-time useful sprinter but his powers are on the wane; showed he could still cut it at this level when a close fourth over C&D last month but he'll need the pace to collapse if he's to end his barren spell. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Hold-up performer who needs the cards to fall right; losing run stretches back to July 2024 and others appeal more for win purposes. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (11) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time course scorer; on a long losing sequence but holds a good chance off current mark, provided he takes well to first-time visor; has won in cheekpieces. |

Quite lightly raced for his age but has not shown a great deal in his four starts for this stable (6f-7f) and needs to turn a corner. |

Lost his way over the last couple of years but recent return on AW (6f) wasn't devoid of promise; mixed record at 1m but down to a good mark. |
