14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won a Class 2 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; from 7lb higher) in March 2025, but has failed to match that level of form since (0-9); wasn't beaten too far over C&D (Class 3; fourth of seven) three weeks ago, and a similar effort would give him a shout in this added tongue-tie; 2-10 for Alan Doyle. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Three wins last season; hasn't scaled the same heights this time round, although latest third of six at Newcastle was a bit more encouraging and he's well handicapped if staging a full-scale revival. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Three wins last season, the latest over 2m5f off a 5lb higher mark on good to soft at Kelso in March; hasn't done quite as well this term, but these conditions suit and is back on a decent mark. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up at Catterick in December on first two chase starts (2m3f, good to soft/good) and bounced back from lesser show at Haydock to win at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft) last month; hit with 8lb rise for last time but he had plenty in hand and could still be well treated. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 4 |

Still not fully exposed over fences but his second-place finishes in December were achieved over 2m3f in Class 5 at Catterick; bit to prove in this scenario/grade. |
4/1 |

5th 7 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |

Point runner-up who improved for the switch to fences when second at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last month and got even closer to a first win when beaten a nose there (2m3f, good) 12 days later; could be bang there. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Closely matched with Triple Crown Ted on February's Kelso clash and this 7yo was good value for his win back in a maiden here last time on soft ground; progressive and quite likely on fair terms with the handicapper. |
8/1 |

1st 8 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three good runs this season, the latest a close second on handicap debut at Kelso (2m, heavy) three weeks ago; has another big role to play on this return to novice company. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Returned from absence to finish third to Triple Crown Ted in C&D novice (soft) in November and took a step forward when again third over C&D (good to soft) last time; this lightly raced 7yo is open to further improvement and could give a good account on handicap debut. |

Poor form in seven outings over hurdles and needs to show significant improvement in a first-time hood. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on 3m course handicap debut last June (final start for Gary Rutherford) and fared little better for new yard at Ayr (3m again) seven months later; hopes are pinned on a shorter trip helping after a further 101 days off. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) last November on second chase start and some good runs since, most recently 12l third of 12 in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); this is less competitive; high on the list. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won the 2m1f handicap chase on this card last year and went in again at Newcastle in November (good to soft); subsequent defeats hint at a vulnerability off this higher mark and he was behind Tanking Along last time. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Built upon promising seasonal/chase debut when scoring at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in November and again ran well when close fourth of six at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January; drops back in trip here; might still have more to offer over fences. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Came good with hard-fought success on his reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November and has improved on that in two Ayr outings since, upped to around this trip and winning on soft last time; up 8lb which demands another career best but he has to be respected in current form. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Came good with hard-fought success on seasonal debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November, his seventh start over hurdles, and bettered that performance when clear second to a handicap blot here (2m3f, soft) the following month; no surprise if he plays another major role. |

Runner-up in eight of his ten starts, twice in points and six times over hurdles, the latest at Newcastle in December (2m6f, good); this looks more competitive; cheekpieces now tried; each-way chance. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Didn't see out 3m when well-held third at Doncaster (good to soft) in March but ran well for a long way and is now back on same mark as for his clear second behind a useful rival there (2m3f, soft) in November; also suited by good ground; could be a tough nut to crack if aided by new cheekpieces. |

Won a 2m5f maiden hurdle for James Ewart last season (good); hasn't progressed in handicaps this term and was beaten a long way at Haydock last time (2m5f, good to soft; trainer blamed the ground); each-way chance. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Ran very poorly on handicap debut in December and not seen again since but remains very unexposed (particularly over this sort of trip) and is worth a glance in the betting; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Placed in a 3m point and she got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in a mares' novice here (2m4f, soft) last month; did it nicely from a solid yardstick and she's from the family of Paisley Park, so could appreciate the step up in trip on handicap debut; possible player. |
12/1 |

1st 6 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Thrice-raced mare who has two pieces of placed form (point/hurdle); reappearance effort, in 2m event at Ayr, suggests this step back up in distance will suit (pedigree confirms that impression); interesting with improvement plausible. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 9 |
29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Close third on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) in April 2024, after which she was sold for £30,000; also showed ability when 20l fifth in maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m, good to soft; 40-1) that October on sole run for Nick Alexander; absent since and her best days probably lie over further, but she's not discounted each-way on this stable debut. |
