1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways with a clearcut success at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) ten days ago; escapes a penalty and today's 2lb higher mark is not beyond him (4lb well in); modest strike-rate on AW but fully effective over C&D. |
9/4 |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tough sort who was third in this race on only previous run over C&D (back in 2020); good second at Ayr on Friday (1m, soft); contender. |

2nd 11 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Quirky gelding who didn't look in love with the first-time hood (retained) when beaten 7.5l into second at Ripon, though the soft ground may also have been a factor; the ability is there to go close. |

14th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Second or third 16 times but has won just once; arrived in good form but ran poorly when last behind Little Ted over C&D 18 days ago; may well bounce back but he's proving expensive to follow; usual blinkers left off today. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner for a previous yard; 0-8 for current stable and has posted two duck eggs since returned to AW; not the percentage call. |
25/1 |
|
11th 7 (11) |
7th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Placed at Musselburgh and Thirsk in July but has finished last on his two most recent starts; hard to fancy. |
25/1 |
|
12th 8 (11) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win to his name from 21 starts; chance on this summer's best efforts but his last two runs have been over 1m1f and 1m2f and he now drops to sprinting; others are safer. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time Musselburgh winner (1m-1m1f; beat Tacitus by a neck last August); mostly struggling this season, albeit did shape a bit better when fifth (beaten 2l) to Zumaaty and Temper Trap at Hamilton last week; stablemate of Onthebunny. |
25/1 |

5th 9 (4) |
23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two-time course winner who has run the odd fair race this season but this 10yo is 0-11 in 2024 and has been soundly beaten the last twice. |
25/1 |

8th 8 (3) |
14th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran with nine wins to his name, latest of them over C&D (patiently ridden; led near finish) in August 2023, but 0-10 this season and he was well held on his most recent outing. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Maiden who has weak claims on form and badly lacks recent match practice; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |
25/1 |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
No joy in several similar contests this summer, failing the stamina test upped to 1m2f at Newcastle latest; work for the hood to do. |
