6th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four handicap wins in 2024; 0-7 this year and form dipped the last twice but could rebound at this level; major contender at the weights on classified debut. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins in 2024, one of them here (8.3f, good to soft); not at his best at Musselburgh 11 days ago but he's slipped to a good mark and this is uncompetitive; solid candidate. |

Has finished close up when fourth/fifth the last twice (8.3f/1m2f, good to firm) and he was on the scoresheet here (1m1f, good) last July; won on good to soft ground ten days later; every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

Some good runs in defeat in November/December, including here, but not at the same level this year and he remains a maiden after 33 starts. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

31-race maiden who has been well held in his last four runs and he meets most of today's rivals on unfavourable terms; down the list. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Course win last September off this mark (8.3f, good to soft); never a threat over that trip here last month but he's a possible reviver in a race lacking depth. |
10/1 |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to soft) last September; rarely seen on fast ground and although he has run well on it, he seems to needs a softer surface these days. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has won eight races, including four over 1m1f here; third to Dandy's Angel in this race last term, but not been in the best of form this season; others appeal more. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice in June, here over 1m2f and over this trip at Musselburgh; put two lesser runs behind him when second at the latter track (1m5f, good) in July but found the drop back to 1m1f against him there four weeks ago; steps back up in trip with claims. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice in June (1m2f/1m4f) and put two poor performances behind him when clear second here (1m5f, good) a week ago; can cope with this drop back in trip and is still on a workable mark; ought to make his presence felt. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won minor events at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) and here (extended 1m4f, good) in June; reportedly bled from the nose in his hat-trick bid and then ran poorly at Newcastle last week; not easy to assess. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-30 but comes here in good nick, third of ten in 1m classified event at Ayr 23 days ago; must enter calculations back in handicap company. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten only by a short head and a nose when third in similar C&D race to this last month and also ran well when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, but his 0-29 strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third of 13 in a similar contest over C&D last month and only just lost out when third of ten at Ayr (1m, good) on his penultimate outing; record of 0-28 is hard to ignore, though. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole Flat win came at Redcar in May 2024; was out of the handicap when running well to finish second in similar event at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) under Kayla Ruddy last month; hasn't matched that in two subsequent starts but the return to this sphere may help; not discounted. |
20/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
1-27 on Flat turf, the win coming on soft ground over 1m at Redcar in May 2024 (first-time hood); gave it a good go from the front when runner-up over this C&D last month but she failed to beat a rival home at Ayr (1m2f) two weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Last two wins have been at Ayr, the most recent coming over 1m2f last summer, but she's been well held there on her last two starts; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner, the most recent over this trip (Class 6, good to soft) over a year ago; no obvious excuses (form figures 9549) in 2026, but does have a capable 5lb claimer aboard, and further rain could assist; stablemate of Golden Valour. |
