3rd 3 |
18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Running well in the main this season, winning at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in December and good third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in January last time; this two-time course winner was runner-up in this race two years ago and could again have a part to play. |

3rd 6 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Runner-up to progressive winner at Kelso (2m1f, soft) last month then went one better at Wetherby (1m7f, soft; by 3l); he remains 3lb lower than when third in this last year (good to soft) and could be firmly involved. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Behind a couple of these when seventh in last season's Grand Annual here but this dual chase winner has the benefit of a positive recent run at Kelso on good ground that would have been lively enough for him; should run well. |

14th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
His first four chase starts were all at Ayr, finishing second in a good handicap at the Scottish National meeting in April on the final occasion (3m, soft); well beaten on reappearance at Punchestown last month but may have needed the run and he remains unexposed over staying trips; not discounted. |

11st 4lb |
Has done all of his racing in the past 12 months at Ayr, running a cracker when second to Sharjah in a 3m Grade 2 handicap in April; no surprise should he improve for the run but not one to underestimate. |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
10yo who isn't the force of old but has dropped down the weights accordingly and finished second to an improving winner at Musselburgh last month; could be a contender if backing up that performance. |

10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fair third at Kelso in December (2m1f, good to soft) but has failed to complete on both outings since, latest over 2m4f at Perth (fell four out); on a fair mark at present but a bit to prove. |

11st 1lb |
11-race maiden who signed off for James Ewart with two poor runs in headgear (now removed) in February/March; makes stable debut from a tempting mark but needs to have been revitalised by his new regime and is untested on ground this quick. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Bidding for a C&D hat-trick having won here on last two starts (soft/good); has gone up 9lb but has run well off much higher marks in the past; could go well. |
6/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Five races for his new trainer and back on track, following three third places with a tenacious C&D win (soft) under Charlie Maggs in 14-runner race 19 days ago; back up 4lb but one to consider seriously. |
100/30 |

11st 10lb |
Ended his time with Olly Murphy under a cloud but back on track for his new handler and he posted a solid third of eight in 2m3f handicap at Catterick last month; considered from an easing mark. |
