22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
9yo who was well beaten in the John Smith's Cup at York last month but won two in a row here (1m5f/1m4f, good to firm) in May and continued in good form until his blip last time; not ruled out now back here. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at Hamilton (1m5f/1m4f, good to firm) in May and creditable fifth in the Northumberland Plate a fortnight ago (2m, AW); he's a 9yo who has never won off a mark this high but is versatile in terms of trip and ran well over C&D last month; not ruled out each-way. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Third and sixth in last two runnings of the C&D Vase on this card; in the groove with successive wins at Hamilton (1m5f/1m4f) this May; however, he's been held off this mark when back up to Class 2 in his three starts since, still in form but suggesting that others will have the edge today. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has landed 1m2f wins at Ayr and Redcar (both good) in recent months but his run of good form came to an abrupt halt at York last weekend; respectable third on previous attempt at 1m4f (September 2024). |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Last three wins have been over 1m2f at Ayr, including in August (on good) when scoring for the first time in over two years; going down by just a neck at Haydock (soft) showed that he remains one for serious calculations. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Added to a good Ayr record when seeing off 12 rivals over 1m2f (good) 26 days ago; a 6lb rise demands more of him (yet to win above a mark of 70) but he'll handle today's ground and has a more solid recent profile than most. |

Returned to winning form at Windsor (11.4f, soft) last month, but didn't shape as though he wanted a drop in trip when third of five at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) 17 days later; cheekpieces given a go. |

Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who took pretty well to hurdling last season, winning at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft); pulled up in Aintree festival Grade 1 in April and made low-key reappearance on the Flat last month but can feature here if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston, winning over about 1m2f at Ayr and Chester last term; also won two 2m juvenile hurdles early this year, by 20l on second occasion, but pulled up when 28-1 in the Aintree Grade 1 in April; off since and needs to be in peak Flat form. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |

Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston and going the right way over hurdles, winning 2m juvenile races at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft) in recent months; stable jockey Paul O'Brien partnered him at Huntingdon but is on Filibustering this time. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced since 7f win in 2022; has dropped some pounds this year and he wasn't far off his best when losing out to an unexposed one at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) 15 days ago; back up 2lb but likely to go well again; the more juice in the ground the better. |

29th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Winless since 2022 but he arrives in decent form, not lasting home over 1m4f when ninth at Newcastle a week ago; he needs considering back down in trip. |
12/1 |

12th 8 (3) |
22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Fourth of 17 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) last August off an 8lb higher mark on final start for Clive Cox; latest start (fifth of ten over 1m2f at Ayr) was a big step back in the right direction and gave hope for 1m4f, but there's clearly a bit for him to prove with trip/ground on AW debut. |

9st 11lb |
Sole win from 22 starts came at Ayr (1m2f, soft) in July; below that level since; however, didn't get much luck in running over this C&D 13 days ago and holds place claims granted a clearer passage. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Ayr (1m2f, soft) last month and her next start at Hamilton (1m, good) can be forgiven (saw no daylight); had no obvious excuse back at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time, though, and others are more persuasive. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well-backed winner over C&D on July 6 (soft; subsequent winner Zebra Star a clear second) and a line can be put through her subsequent run at Hamilton (1m, good) as she was repeatedly short of room; in calculations. |

His only win was back in 2020 in a Tipperary maiden; has threatened a few times since and wasn't beaten all that far at York last time, but others appeal more for the win; tries cheekpieces. |

9st 12lb |
Only win in 23 attempts was at Tipperary on second juvenile start (7f, good to yielding) when with Joseph O'Brien; some fair form since, notably when third over C&D off 4lb higher in May (good); poor run over C&D (good to soft) latest. |

Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 for this yard and was never better than midfield at Ayr on last month's return from nearly a year off; entitled to be sharper for the outing but would need to see market support to consider on this belated AW debut with a first-time visor added to his regular tongue-tie. |

0-8 for this yard and he was beaten 10l when sixth of 12 here (1m, heavy; has won on that surface in Ireland) when last seen 343 days ago; could only consider if backed. |
