10st 12lb |
2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles but that could change now he's into handicap company; market confidence would be welcomed. |

2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles and probably one for handicaps. |

Has failed to shine in two attempts over hurdles and may be more interesting in handicaps shortly; otherwise retains potential judged on Flat record (2-4; best RPR 85). |

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. |

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. |

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. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Put up 4lb for his Redcar win in April (1m2f, good to firm) but good second off this mark at Doncaster next time (1m4f, good to firm); hasn't done quite as well since; poor deaw. |
8/1 |

4th 3 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) this April; backed that up when second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and this is easier than the York Dante meeting handicap he contested last time. |
5/1 |

9th 8 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f) this April; second of six when 10-11 at Doncaster (1m4f, again good to firm) 12 days later, which was just as good on form; each-way contender but a bit extra is needed if he's to take this. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |

Six-time course winner who is lurking on a lowly mark; 2026 campaign yet to gather any momentum but Paul Mulrennan back on board and better could be forthcoming. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
9lb lower than for his Hamilton win last summer; struggling for form so far this season, however, and others bring more pressing claims. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Six of his eight wins have come over 1m3f/1m4f here and is 6lb lower than for the most recent, but yet to click since returning in May; dual-handed stable won this in 2022 and 2023. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Ridden this season by Lauren Young; won at Musselburgh (1m4f) and Hamilton (1m3f) on first two starts, with a good third at Thirsk (1m4f) next time, all on good ground; shaped as if still in form in a steadily run race on latest outing; this good season (better than 2025) has been over much shorter but he did win this race on good to firm in 2024; not dismissed. |
7/2 |

6th 10 (12) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good) before good third at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last time; he'll be fine at this longer trip, and also if slow ground prevails; could be bang there. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
13-race maiden; gave it a good go but found one stronger late on at Thirsk (1m6f, good to firm; 12-1) six weeks ago; stable continues to go well and this 4yo is only 1lb higher back over 2m; possibilities. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Still a maiden after 12 starts and was last of four in a Doncaster handicap (14.5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; wasn't beaten far in that race but he needs to find more to get off the mark. |
15/2 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden and latest close third at Catterick (2m, good to firm) came in a field of four, so that form looks a tad dubious. |
