28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Long-standing maiden has been running well over shorter trips this summer; closely matched with Jonny Carrol on Wexford 2m4f form three weeks ago, and went close over 3m a couple of years ago; new headgear combination |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
Straight into handicap hurdles after a short spell in points; runner-up over this trip in a class 5 at Perth being her best effort; might have had a little too much use made of her at Downpatrick last time; headgear used that day left on here. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 7lb |
Point-to-point winner; 0-14 over hurdles but loads of placed efforts to her name, including off 92 in a C&D handicap on penultimate; should go well but rated 95 and likely vulnerable to less exposed rivals; new headgear combination tried. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-7 over hurdles but suffered an overreach when pulled up on heavy ground last month, and his previous defeat (also on heavy ground) came after a layoff; unraced on good ground since bumper debut in 2023 but moves up in trip for this chasing debut and current mark is workable if all goes to plan; cheekpieces/tongue-tie removed. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-8 over hurdles; placed off today's mark at Ayr (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in February but pulled up both runs either side; not yet proven over 3m or on good ground; tricky to predict on chase debut. |

8th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made the frame last spring in first two handicaps (2m4f, good to soft/soft) and returned to form when third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) here (2m4f, soft) last month; there's stamina in his pedigree and today's step up in trip could eke out some improvement. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Hinted at possible return to form when third in 3m chase here in May but was pulled up (lame) in another of those here ten days ago and is now 0-6 for current stable; looks opposable in this 2m hurdle. |
14/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on first three starts for Andrew Hamilton but his C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie) third in May was a big step back in the right direction; suffered a mishap at Hexham last time but has possibilities if able to build on that previous effort. |
16/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Started off for Andrew Hamilton with three heavy defeats but last month's third at Perth (3m, good) was a big step back in the right direction; may benefit from today's drop back in trip and can cope if there's rain about; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
26-race maiden; ran well for a long way at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last month but ended up about 21l behind Ballydangan and is effectively 2lb higher here. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Unreliable longstanding maiden who was tailed off at Cartmel three weeks ago; opposable. |

24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-24 under all codes and not very reliable but gave very good account when fourth from out of the weights at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month and is effectively 9lb lower from correct mark here; had excuse when pulled up last time (stirrup snapped); not ruled out. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
8yo who has a poor strike-rate and is 4lb out of the handicap this evening; however, he ran pretty well when 10l third of eight at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out. |

3rd 6 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

1-12 as a chaser; good and bad in his last six races over hurdles, finishing tailed off in the last two; risky. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (once each) from 35 races; his last win was in 2024 but bits of form this year, including penultimate start, give him an each-way chance. |

10st 5lb |
Came good at 32nd attempt, from just out of the weights in Perth chase (3m, good) ten days ago; has run well here (albeit over hurdles) and is still unexposed over staying trips; no surprise if he features. |

Has 0-31 strike-rate and is 2lb wrong today but ran quite well when upped to 3m over hurdles at Ayr (soft; also suited by good) in March and remains unexposed over this trip; back over fences today; not ruled out. |
