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. |
3/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

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. |

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. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No match for winner when second of 14 over C&D a week ago but has now made the frame on his last five appearances, and a recent 1lb drop helps; ought to be on the premises again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice in June, over C&D on the first occasion; close second over 1m4f here three weeks ago but couldn't land a telling blow when fourth over C&D last week; minor money perhaps his best hope this time. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D and at Musselburgh in June; flopped in his next two runs, but he's got back on track since then and was only narrowly denied by a subsequent winner here (1m4f) two weeks ago; that was a brave effort under a prominent ride and he's a key player back in trip. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Gave good account when second at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 11 days ago and is also suited by this C&D but his strike-rate now stands at 0-32 and he's not the percentage call. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Long-standing maiden; placed in a couple of classified events in July/August (behind Hostelry on second occasion) but below par last time; others stronger. |

6th 6 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

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. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Out of form on the Flat in recent weeks; not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm) eight days ago and remains unexposed over jumps but overall profile is not persuasive. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Landed a juvenile hurdle at Hexham in June 2024 when trained by Ben Haslam; has been in the doldrums on the Flat for current yard and hard to be confident of improvement now back over hurdles. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (1) |
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. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Very modest on the Flat nowadays and soundly beaten at 250-1 on hurdle debut over C&D (good) three weeks ago; it's best to look elsewhere. |
200/1 |
|
6th 10 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Lowly rated three-time Flat winner (7f-1m2f); hasn't managed to beat too many rivals in her last three starts (1m2f-1m3f); no reason to expect better, in a refitted hood, on hurdles debut. |
100/1 |
|
9th 8 (3) |
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 |
