17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won over C&D (soft) in February before respectable sixth of 17 in veterans' final at Haydock (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; 11 visits to Ayr have yielded five wins and this is his time of year; could go well. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
His last six wins have come in the months of February, March or April and he returned to form to win at Ayr (2m4f, soft) 40 days ago; runner-up in this race two years ago (soft) and won over C&D (good to soft) last February; that latest win reads well and a 4lb rise isn't harsh; possible player. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
12yo who hasn't been at the top of his game on either outing this term and was tailed off at Aintree most recently; however, this is the stage of the season when he tends to come good and he's 2lb lower than when scoring at Haydock last February; has won here four times, and on various ground. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
A very lightly raced hurdler who is temptingly handicapped on his winning form over fences (4-9) and should have derived considerable benefit from his comeback run over hurdles; weak in the market that day so the betting could be instructive. |
7/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Returns from a long absence but connections can get them fit at home and he's a very lightly raced hurdler who is temptingly handicapped on his winning form over fences; market instructive. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick at around 3m in February/March 2025 but not seen again until refusing to race when a 20-1 shot at Kelso 24 days ago; can only watch after that. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
In excellent form in February/March 2025, winning three in a row at around 3m (good to soft/good), but has fitness to prove after 393-day absence and will need to hit the ground running to have any chance off current mark. |

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. |

23rd Nov 2024 Yielding 2m 5f 70y |
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. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Hexham (2m4f, good) last September off 5lb higher mark; ran respectably, having been given a break since pulling up over fences in March, when fifth of seven at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month when leading from the front and headed only approaching the last flight; weighted to win but is hard to predict. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful in his prime and proved he retains a significant chunk of ability when causing 40-1 surprise over C&D (good) in September; quickly back in the doldrums since, though, and it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood today. |
16/1 |
