2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Five C&D wins, the latest from a 3lb lower mark in December; has struggled at double-figure odds on turf lately (Musselburgh and Hamilton) with slow starts a regular feature; drops back into a Class 5 now at a more suitable track, but with enough to prove for the time being. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Enjoyed a superb 2025 when a six-time winner (including here) but yet to fire this season, beating just one home in a 1m Musselburgh handicap last month; she's 4lb out of the handicap too. |

Made it 15th-time lucky on stable debut at Hamilton (1m, soft) last September and then won five of his next six starts on the AW, but held in both outings at the start of the year; bit to prove back on turf after three months off. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account. |
7/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark in a classified at Ayr in July in a first-time visor (retained until now), finishing in the frame on all four starts since; first-time blinkers now take over and holds claims if new headgear can eke out further improvement. |
6/1 |

Off the mark in first-time visor (retained since) in Ayr classified (1m, good to soft) in July and has continued in good form, finishing third in handicaps at Catterick (7f, soft/good) on last two runs; solid claims. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |
10/1 |

12th 8 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

All four wins have come on good to soft/soft ground in September, including over C&D last autumn off 6lb lower; record returning from a break down the years is far from inspiring. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Still seeking her first win for this yard but she has often run well, including over C&D, and her second here three weeks ago was on the back of a 190-day layoff; that form has been franked and she should make another bold bid. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

1-27 on the Flat; some of last year's best efforts came here but she's still opposable for win purposes after 190 days off. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only run over 5f once, when well held over C&D two years ago, and has done most recent racing over 7f; resumed in decent form and this is easier if anything but the drop back in trip from the outside stall would have to be a worry; headgear returns. |
13/2 |

4th 8 (6) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won back-to-back, here (6f) and Wolverhampton (7f), last October; higher in the weights now and Ethan Tindall is booked for Ideal Guest; raced freely when seventh of nine at Wolverhampton (7f; 16-1) two months ago; others more obvious. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No win in his first 23 starts but he made the breakthrough at Catterick (6f, soft) in October and followed up with a strong-finishing success over C&D; flopped back at this track in November but he had a wide trip and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate run; needs a close look back from a break. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

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 |

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. |
