2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Poor strike-rate but there have been several good runs in defeat this year and his record at Hamilton reads -30222; has run well on soft but a slightly quicker surface may be ideal. |
11/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win from 27 starts came on the AW at Newcastle last August but he's been runner-up on turf six times, including when caught late at Hamilton (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; switch of headgear today; shortlisted. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent gelding who went close over C&D in early June and came back to that sort of level when behind Patrick Street three days ago (8lb better off back into a handicap); often pulls hard and it will depend on his mood. |

In-form 3yo who ran well at Southwell (2m) last time when attempting to follow up her Wolverhampton success (1m6f); still unexposed beyond 1m4f and receives weight all round in this field; shortlisted. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 161y |
11st 4lb |
Modest Flat winner is 0-6 hurdling although improvement of late, finishing a decent fourth of 20 in 2m1f Galway handicap and chased home a ready winner in 7-runner 2m2f Downpatrick mares' maiden, both on good ground; place prospects again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Modest Flat winner is 0-5 hurdling although creditable effort on latest when decent fourth of 20 in 2m1f Galway handicap last month (good); place claims back in maiden company. |

4th 20 |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 3lb |
Winner on the Flat and very lightly raced over hurdles by comparison; good run in a 1m handicap at Leopardstown in April, but little in her profile marks her out as a potential winner of this. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Mixed results during a busy past few weeks, though did set a new personal best when beaten only 2l in a C&D handicap (good) two starts ago; needs to bounce back from last week's Hamilton flop. |
16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-8 but probably his best run yet when coming from behind to be 2l off Dwindling Funds at Ayr (1m2f, good); that was only his second run in blinkers. |
7/1 |
|
10 (6) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who produced one of his better runs when 3l sixth of eight in first-time blinkers (retained) at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last Tuesday; however, he needs another step forward to get off the mark today. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual fast-ground 1m4f Leicester scorer in 2022-23, but longer still since he last showed sufficient on any of his occasional returns to shorter; okay last-time hurdles effort, at least. |
16/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lowly rated on the Flat nowadays; belied 80-1 odds when second in Kelso novice hurdle (2m, soft) in February but was swallowed up after racing too freely in the lead in Perth handicap (2m, good to soft) in April. |
16/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 130y |
8st 10lb |
Last of her four wins was in September 2023; respectable fifth in handicap at Gowran (1m1f, good) in July but she missed the break and was tailed off in a classified event at Ayr last month (1m2f, good); 4lb wrong. |
18/1 |
|
3 (13) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
April's Gowran Park third (9.5f, yielding) is a sole podium finish in her last 18 runs, but she ran to that sort of level again back there last time, reaffirming she can still operate on sounder surfaces also. |

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. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 5yo who won twice over C&D last month (good/good to firm); probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 4lb rise but ought to be on the premises again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple turf winner who made it 2-2 over C&D when bouncing back with a comfortable success (good) three weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; key player. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark. |

All three wins have come here but the latest was in May 2023 and this 9yo has struggled to get competitive this year. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Without a win since May 2023, and her form over the last two seasons does not suggest she can end her drought. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

C&D scorer on fast and slow ground, but not for over two years now and never in headgear; two 18l defeats here last month to forgive. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Gained a second C&D success in June; not disgraced (in a change of headgear) with fifth of 12 in 1m2f classified event at Ayr 25 days ago; considered. |
8/1 |
|
5th 7 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up (beaten over 4l) in this last year, but yet to win on turf (0-17); gamely fended off the frustrating Little Ted at Newcastle (1m; 11-2) on penultimate start, but reportedly ran flat back there on latest; stable have more obvious chance with Wicklow Way. |
8/1 |

12th 5 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Held on gamely to make all in 1m handicap here last month and is now 2-31; evidently in good nick but this drop back in trip is not sure to suit. |
