27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |

6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |

Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |

Not one to trust and had the run of things up front when posting a better performance over 1m1f here recently; not sure to back that up. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner last summer; seemingly back in good form when second of 13 here (1m, good) in April, but disappointed on both outings last month and has become hard to predict. |
9/2 |

19th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Enters calculations on the form of his second in 1m Musselburgh handicap in April but he beat only one over 7f there 12 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

Three-time AW winner; only 1-17 on turf but gained the success off current mark at Ayr (6f, good) in August; good chance provided she returns to that form. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
10yo who gained the latest of his eight career wins over this C&D (good; wore blinkers) last summer; soundly beaten on both outings this year but has blinkers refitted today and it won't be a shock if he stages a revival. |
14/1 |
|
10th 11 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won a division of this race last year; back to form with a bang to easily take advantage of a much-reduced mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good) in August; two poor efforts have followed but no surprise to see him bounce back with the Tim Easterby team in great form. |
12/1 |

9th 7 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11yo having his 116th career start; very much had the run of things when scoring by 4l at Carlisle (1m1f, good) and ran a shocker next time; opposable on the balance of this year's exploits. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (11) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of an easing mark at Carlisle (1m1f amateurs', good) recently; had the run of the race there - runner-up was subject to a running-and-riding inquiry - so will need to find slightly more from this 7lb higher mark; Jake Dickson takes off a useful 3lb. |

Won two in a row at about 1m4f last September but he's been out of sorts for two yards this year and has plenty to prove trying his luck with another one now back on the AW. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt. |
50/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped down the weights and his trainer is among the winners; however, he's struggled in the main this season and has been beaten 16 times since his sole win in March 2024. |
16/1 |
|
9 (3) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence. |

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. |
33/1 |
