25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Successful four times over C&D, including in last two starts, beating stablemate Keep Me Stable by 1l latest; this 8yo retains plenty of vitality and is still well handicapped on historical data; beaten in this race for last three years (form figures 002) but warrants respect in current form. |

Won for the fifth time on turf when holding on by a head from Misemerald in a C&D handicap last week (good); not sure to confirm the placings with the second on 4lb worse terms. |

This C&D brings out the best in him and he had a near miss here last month; neither Ayr run this month has been comparable but he should be in the shake up back here. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; made all at Ayr (7f, soft) in July but he failed to back that up at that same track next time; fair fourth having dictated the gallop at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now returns to 7f. |
6/1 |

3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Three wins from his last nine starts, the latest at Ayr (7f, soft) in July, and he can't be discounted; however, good runs have been in the minority this year and it's been a long time since he won beyond 7f. |

Free-going sort who hasn't been at his best for his new stable on AW this year; now 10lb lower than for his Ayr win last summer (7f, good), however, and no surprise were the return to turf to have a positive effect. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three of four wins have been at 7f, including over C&D (good) last August; back on his latest winning mark after failing to find his form this year and has plenty to prove following a 14l defeat at Doncaster in June. |

Gained last year's two wins over 7f on good ground in August and came second in a 15-runner race next time; Beverley reappearance was promising but he was only midfield in a big field at York three weeks ago; down in class but needs a full revival. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |

Dual course winner, the most recent over this trip (Class 6, good to soft) over a year ago; no obvious excuses (form figures 9549) in 2026, but does have a capable 5lb claimer aboard, and further rain could assist; stablemate of Golden Valour. |

Front-runner and dual C&D winner, the latest from 5lb higher just under a year ago; 0-16 in the meantime, though, and needs to do better than when returned to the AW at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; stable also runs Novak. |
