27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won a Hamilton maiden (1m3f) and handicap (1m5f) on his first two starts of last year; finished tailed off in the Melrose over C&D next time, however, and he weakened quickly before being dismounted at Musselburgh on his comeback; difficult to suggest after that. |
18/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won small-field races at Hamilton for a maiden (1m3f, good to firm) last May and handicap (1m5f, good) last July; seriously raised in class when tailed-off last at 14-1 in the Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f, good to firm; again sweating) last August, but he could be of renewed interest on this reappearance for an in-form yard. |
4/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Two runs last year and built upon that promise to win Hamilton maiden (1m3f, good to firm) in May; comfortably followed up in handicap there (1m5f, good) last month; that was in a small field against older horses but the runner-up was a winner either side of that outing and this fellow did it readily; could have more to offer and he's not discounted up 5lb. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A four-time C&D winner; yet to hit top form this season but took a step back in right direction with sixth of ten in 1m2f Ayr handicap 22 days ago; very much one to consider off an easing mark. |
6/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Now 2lb lower than for second of last season's two wins at favourite track Hamilton but well beaten after racing far too freely on both outings this term; wears cheekpieces for first time since 2yo season; risky. |
33/1 |
|
12th 9 (2) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Hamilton specialist who was tailed off there on his reappearance a fortnight ago (pulled hard); hard to fancy on the back of that but it may have got the freshness out of him and he's on his last winning mark; not a forlorn hope on his first visit here. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |
16/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Handled testing conditions best, bounding clear to make it 2-3 over C&D (soft; a 23l winner) four weeks ago; the handicapper has reacted, and he's now 9lb higher moving up into a Class 4; still enters calculations though, with 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retaining the ride. |

1st 1 |
9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders when last seen in the winter but returns from 12-week break on a good mark and is versatile regarding ground; gained his only hurdle win over C&D; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |

8th 12 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time Flat winner who has a consistent profile over hurdles; handles soft ground but has a bit to find with He's Bresilian on last month's Ayr form. |

11st 6lb |
Flat winner on fast ground for David O'Meara; huge odds and well held in three maiden hurdles for this yard at 2m-2m1f; potential improver stepped up in trip for handicap debut. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |

Flat winner has been soundly beaten at long odds in maiden hurdles at Killarney and Ballinrobe; will do better when handicapping. |

10th 1 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner for David O'Meara was tailed off when 50/1 on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; hard to fancy. |
