11th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 4f 65y |
9st 1lb |
Won a Newbury handicap for Sir Michael Stoute in 2024 off 81 (1m2f, good); has come down in the world; poor on AW and modest on turf this year. |

No win since 1m2f Newbury success two years ago; form this spring poor; handicapper quick to drop him but no improvement; cheekpieces now tried. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |
9/2 |

3rd 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Too strong for his rivals in a Class 6 over a mile here last month; reportedly finished lame when disappointing (13-8f) behind Golden Strike here four weeks ago; revised 3lb higher mark has now kicked in. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2024; run down late in refitted cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f) in June, and finished third (one place behind Mr Lincoln) over C&D next time; fast ground a plausible excuse for a lesser effort latest; runner-up in this last year. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with two placed runs last month, the latter in Class 4 C&D contest; ought to pose a potent threat at this lower level. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Decent 3yo who's enjoyed a revival round Chepstow of late, beating a subsequent winner off 7lb lower last month before following up a fortnight ago; every chance of completing the hat-trick. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Prevailed by 1l in C&D contest (good to firm) last month on only his fourth start for current yard; back up only 3lb he remains attractively handicapped on 3yo form; respected. |
5/4 |

1st 1 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Losing run up to 14, but now 22lb below his last winning mark and showed a bit more when fourth of nine at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last time; that form is working out quite well and one to be interested in. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when bagging his first two starts of the term (Pontefract; 1m2f, good) but couldn't complete the hat-trick when last of three at Newmarket four weeks ago; 0-6 on the AW. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All five victories have come over a stiff 1m2f so he has that in his favour, including two round Pontefract in June; never won off a mark this high, though, and an 8lb rise for a wide-margin success in an amateurs' handicap last time will test him. |

3rd 6 (3) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Has been performing better on the AW than on turf during the past year, winning a selling handicap easily over C&D in July and finishing second of nine back here (1m5f) a week later; one for the shortlist. |
3/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Dual turf winner at 1m2f and 1m3f for Charlie Johnston last spring; back to form in winning a 1m4f selling handicap on the AW earlier this month and was then second under a penalty; 3lb higher now but should be fine back on turf. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual turf winner at 1m2f and 1m3f for Charlie Johnston last spring; has had some struggles since but he got back to form with a bang when winning by 7l here (1m4f, AW) last Monday; that was off a tumbling mark and he's a major player if he can repeat that form under a penalty. |

30th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
UK-trained; three of her four wins in UK have come on AW up to this trip; has dropped in the weights in the last year and solid runs in defeat lately; needs a bit more. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |

Scored four times (at up to 1m4f) in 2025; back in good form of late, runner-up in 1m4f handicap at Newcastle two weeks ago; well in the mix nudged up 1lb. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
She had been running with credit this season prior to her comfortable win at Musselburgh (1m5f, good); up 6lb but she still has handicapping scope on last year's best; all wins on good ground but appears to handle soft. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three times a course winner for Jim Goldie, the latest (extended 1m4f) last August off a 9lb higher mark; solid efforts on her last three starts; big run expected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Third in 1m4f handicaps at Musselburgh on her last two starts, staying on nicely on both occasions; drop back in trip on faster ground isn't sure to suit. |
10/1 |
