10st 0lb |
Got her head back in front at Ayr in August over this trip on quick ground; backed that up with good second on AW off 10lb higher, despite racing keenly; 4lb lower turf mark here so demands respect and drying ground will help. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
She had been running with credit this season prior to her comfortable win at Musselburgh (1m5f, good); up 6lb but she still has handicapping scope on last year's best; all wins on good ground but appears to handle soft. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three times a course winner for Jim Goldie, the latest (extended 1m4f) last August off a 9lb higher mark; solid efforts on her last three starts; big run expected. |
7/2 |

3rd 7 (4) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Third in 1m4f handicaps at Musselburgh on her last two starts, staying on nicely on both occasions; drop back in trip on faster ground isn't sure to suit. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
On a long losing run (last win was at Ayr in July 2024) but he has run a few creditable races this year; has a bit to find with Royal Blaze on their C&D form last month. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 14 months ago and he struggled here last time; on dangerous mark but he's been hard to predict this season and others are preferred. |
20/1 |
|
10th 3 (1) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not disgraced when third of eight to Jewel Maker in 1m Carlisle handicap a week ago; this C&D winner is one for the shortlist. |

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 |
|
9th 9 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner, the most recent over this trip (Class 6, good to soft) over a year ago; no obvious excuses (form figures 9549) in 2026, but does have a capable 5lb claimer aboard, and further rain could assist; stablemate of Golden Valour. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored four times here (three over C&D) in 2025; yet to fire this season however and never threatened when sixth of nine over 1m here three weeks ago. |
50/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won four handicaps here (1m-1m2f, good or slower) in the second half of 2025; yet to fire this time around and may need both slower ground and further help from the handicapper. |
25/1 |
|
10th 5 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 when completing a hat-trick over C&D (third C&D success) in October but he's yet to fire this summer, soon ridden when only seventh of ten over C&D 16 days ago; has something to prove now. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
No impact in five runs for Adrian Keatley and well-held in his two runs for current yard, latest with tongue-tie (retained); has had wind surgery since but hard to fancy. |
14/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No impact in five runs for Adrian Keatley and was a well-held fifth of ten on stable debut here (7f, good) last Monday; still unexposed but he needs improvement with a tongue-tie added at this new trip. |
9/1 |
|
