28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 1m4f winner on Tapeta elsewhere; placed three times from six starts over this sort of trip on Tapeta and could make the frame from just 2lb above his last winning mark. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No AW win since January 2023 (Newcastle, 12.5f); managed to score at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last July but fortunes dipped markedly towards the end of the turf season; more than enough to prove after layoff. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (12.4f, good) in July and respectable efforts in next two runs but his form nosedived at Hamilton last month; has something to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back; stablemate of Elemental Eye. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |

3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year on good to soft (also successful over C&D on good to firm); another decent C&D effort when third in a higher grade in May and creditable third over hurdles since; likely to go well. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |

9st 12lb |
Ran well at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; not so good in either run since, the latest over C&D two weeks ago; not ruled out but not the most solid option either. |

9th 3 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Belatedly came good with two 1m1f wins last summer and looked back in prime form when close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but his latest run was slightly disappointing and others in the field have more persuasive profiles. |

Scored six times, mostly at Ayr, last season; beaten only a neck, despite being out 4lb of the weights, at Musselburgh five days ago; holds a fighting chance, back off proper mark. |

2nd 9 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Six wins in 2025 over a range of trips (7f-1m2f) and ground; encouraging reappearance over C&D but not so good since and doubtful whether today will be the day from out of the weights. |

4th 6 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won four times here (7f-1m, good to firm-heavy) last year and showed career-best form when second in valuable Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) on seasonal debut in April; two lesser efforts have followed (1m-1m4f) but he still enters calculations. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Has form over a variety of distances, so stepping back up from 1m seems unlikely to be an issue; however, he's one of several longstanding maidens in the field. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |

0-44 under all codes (including three points); gave pretty good account when fourth of nine here (1m4f, good) two starts ago and will be fine over today's trip but can't be recommended from 10lb out of the weights. |

Ended 2025 on the up and she has maintained her progress in 2026, winning four times over 1m1f on good ground; not at her best last time but foolish to think she won't continue progressing; unraced on faster than good. |

Four wins this year include a C&D success (Hostility second, Jewel Maker fourth) in May and when again making all to beat five others at Musselburgh (1m1f, also good) 12 days ago; creeping up the weights but she's gone back-to-back before and needs respecting. |
