6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all over 5f on seasonal debut and finished second on both starts since, latterly under Cara Tuke in 14-runner C&D (soft) contest 16 days ago; evidently in good nick; ought to give another good account. |

2nd 5 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
He has returned from a break in top form, winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) before a solid second at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; returning to 6f no issue and he will be fine if it rains; should go well. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Another who has a better strike-rate on AW than turf; not beaten far into fourth in a 5f handicap at Doncaster 17 days ago, a race where he fluffed the start; yet to shine at Ayr; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Haydock (7f, good to firm) last May and at Newcastle (5f, AW) in November but he's a more reliable proposition on AW, on which he's 7-19 as opposed to 1-15 on turf; not at the top of his game on grass of late. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (13) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Seven wins in 2025, including a turf success (7f, good to firm) off a 3lb higher mark; this looks more manageable than the 20-runner 0-85 handicap he contested at York eight days ago; not ruled out. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |
25/1 |
|
9th 15 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |
20/1 |
|
8th 8 (11) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |

10st 1lb |
12-time winner, latest on AW in March (6f); fair running-on third over 5f here last time (good; Woohoo, who runs in the 2.30, was second); contender back up in trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner; returned from a break with a solid fifth in 5f Hamilton handicap last month; this reliable sort is a player off a 2lb lower mark here with Eireann Cagney up. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
In good form on the AW early this year, winning over 5f at Southwell and Wolverhampton, but she was well held behind Castan back at Southwell last time and could be vulnerable off her current mark. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form since switched to the AW this winter, going in over C&D in February before following up in 5f Wolverhampton handicap 18 days ago; up another 2lb but not taken lightly in her hat-trick bid. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In-form filly who opened her AW account in Southwell event (5f) last time and remains much less exposed in this sphere than on turf; may build on that success; respected back up just 2lb. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Won at Hamilton off 3lb lower in May (5f, good); close third over same C&D next time; each-way chance. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear removed when he pounced late to beat Mount Ruapehu over C&D (good; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; ran to an identical level on RPRs when third here last week; should give his running at a track (form figures 2613) which suits. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Headgear removed and doubled his tally with a narrow win over C&D (good; 3lb lower) a month ago; consistency hasn't always been his forte but clearly a possible contender. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form when making all in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) in a selling handicap over C&D (good to firm) last month; lost a shoe when down the field at Ayr (5f, good to firm) on Monday but this is a hotter race than the one he won here two starts ago and others are more compelling. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning a selling handicap at Hamilton last time (5f, good to firm); only 2lb higher so not out of it with headgear on again. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time turf winner (one over C&D) who is 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (5f, AW) last December; however, he's struggled since April and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Far from consistent this season but scored off just 1lb lower over C&D in May and has a fighting chance provided he's back in the same form. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

6th 7 (10) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Hasn't been at his best since winning at Ripon early last month (5f, good); today's conditions ideal and could bounce back from good draw. |

Has won twice over 5f but has been below her best this year; has dropped to a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Reponded well to the fitting of blinkers when winning at Redcar (5f, good) last October, but not matched that form since; also has something to prove over this stiffer 5f. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Redcar last October (5f, good) off 2lb lower when blinkered for the first time; not quite so good in two runs on the AW since; may need the run on first outing since March. |

8st 13lb |
Three 5f wins to his name, one of them at this track, but unplaced in six runs over 6f+; finished behind stablemate Whiskey Kisses over C&D last week; new cheekpieces not enough to tempt. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have been over 5f on good ground, latest at Musselburgh last August; hasn't been in top form this term, best run when third at Musselburgh in June (5f); bit to prove, including his stamina. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins at 5f on good ground; not quite nailing it this year and it's up in the air as to whether this is his trip, having been well held in sole previous attempt, over C&D in April 2025. |
