20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Relishes an uphill finish and has seven wins at Hamilton and one at Pontefract; hasn't been in the best of form since his seasonal debut and this track unlikely to play to his strengths. |
20/1 |
|
10th 8 (1) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best known for his heroics at Hamilton; safely held three times since placed there (8.3f, good) in May but had heavy ground as valid excuse at Ayr on Tuesday and remains 1lb lower than when winning this race in 2025. |
16/1 |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Soundly beaten at Carlisle (1m, good) three weeks ago but may have needed that first run since May; won three times last autumn (good to soft/soft) and is below his last winning mark; capable of a big performance. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |

1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

Latest of multiple wins came at 7f last August; below par lately, including behind The Gay Blade over C&D 12 days ago, but won in cheekpieces earlier in career and they're refitted for the first time since 2022. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

10th Oct 2024 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |

Dual 1m3f winner on soft; stays 16.5f; not ruled out of the prize-money but will have to raise the bar to win this; ideally wants rain. |

29th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Poor maiden for Jim Goldie in 2023 and she has offered little both runs for her new yard, hooded when tenth over 6f here 12 days ago; she's hard to make a case for. |
50/1 |

17th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden; no immediate uptick for the recent switch to Lucinda Russell; sports a newly applied hood seeking a much needed spark; far less riskier options lie elsewhere. |
