15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice this year, over 7.5f at Beverley (soft) and 1m at Carlisle (good); heavy defeats the last twice but he has his sights lowered here with cheekpieces added. |

13th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |

raced wide, prominent, cajoled along 4f out, lost ground quickly 2f out, soon weakened and lost touch |

8st 12lb |
Two front-running wins this year (7.4f/1m, soft/good) and close third here (8.3f, good to soft) two starts ago; not quite at his best at Redcar most recently but he lost a shoe and remains of interest. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company. |
22/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 8lb |
Flat winner has shown much-improved form over hurdles this season, winning at Clonmel and Limerick the last twice over approximately this trip; another 7lb rise demands more, but he has to be on the shortlist. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Won as a 2yo in Britain; failed to make much impression over hurdles last winner; different proposition now; has gone up 13lb for his improved performances (second, followed by a win) at Clonmel this season; sustained progress is feasible |
4/1 |
|
1st 12 |
5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 61y |
10st 11lb |
Flat winner ran his best race over hurdles when just denied over C&D last time, seemingly appreciating the livelier ground; is up 4lb but doesn't have to find much more to go one better. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Uncharacteristically below par at Ascot recently but was under a new rider in the Shergar Cup; he's run really well in defeat under Danny Tudhope in some hot handicaps this year and was second in this last season (good to firm); versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with a big performance. |
16/1 |
|
9th 1 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Finished second behind Ebt's Guard in this race 12 months ago when rated 14lb lower; he has earned his lofty rating since then, winning twice at Goodwood last autumn and recording a career-best RPR when second of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood eight days ago; another big run anticipated. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Blew his chance at the start in most recent handicap attempt but generally consistent otherwise in the last year and ties in with several of today's rivals on Royal Hunt Cup form; 2-2 at Goodwood and looks interesting back here despite remaining on a career-high mark. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over 7f at Thirsk (heavy) and Catterick (good to soft) this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW contest most recently; solid contender back on turf. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far. |
4/1 |
|
5th 11 (3) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Landed 12-runner handicap at Ayr (7f) 22 days ago; up 4lb but still lightly raced this season so not out of things. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off 2lb lower at Carlisle (1m, soft) last June; has had just two runs this season but she's run creditably in a handicap and a seller at Beverley; now drops back in trip but has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Infrequent winner; fair return to action when fifth over C&D in April but she looks to face an uphill task at these weights. |

4yo who went the wrong way for Brian Ellison and there's been no revival in his two races for new yard; has now finished last on his last four outings; off nearly three months again and tries his first headgear. |
