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. |

Campaigned mostly at longer trips (stays 12.5f) and offered little back over 1m at Newcastle in early December. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in August; ran okay when third over C&D (soft) nine days ago but was no match for the first two (including Cisco Disco); needs something extra. |

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 |

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. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Won over 7f here on his seasonal reappearance in 2024 (good) and was fourth over 1m here after a break in May last year, so could go well despite lack of a recent run. |
14/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Two-time course winner, the latest in July (1m2f, good to soft), and she's effective on soft ground; well beaten at Musselburgh on last two starts and has something to prove, but the latest was over 1m6f and perhaps the drop back in trip and return to Ayr will be the catalyst for a revival. |
20/1 |
|
3 (4) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Scored off 2lb lower at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) in July but has mixed record since and was out the back here (1m, good) last time; has something to prove again after that and he's untried beyond 1m2f. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hit form with vengeance through the second half of 2025, winning four of his last five (all here, 1m-1m2f); the bulk of those were on soft to heavy, and he has risen a combined total of 23lb in the handicap; merits respect, but is returning from a 223-day absence; rain would help. |
13/2 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made it three course wins from his last four starts when scoring over C&D (soft) nine days ago; came clear with an in-form runner-up last time and this rejuvenated 7yo may well take a 4lb penalty in his stride. |
5/2 |
|
5 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Suited by plenty of give in the ground and comes here in good form having won two of his last three races, both here, first over 1m2f on good, latest over 1m on soft (won by 4.25l); up 8lb but looks the one to beat. |

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. |

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 |
|
11 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
No impact in five runs for Adrian Keatley, most recently when third of four in a Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) last month; still early days but he needs improvement back in trip for new yard. |
