9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Trained in Shropshire but has raced mainly in Scotland; followed two wins at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) over the winter with creditable third of 15 at Ayr (2m, soft) three weeks ago; more needed off unchanged mark. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who is 2-2 since sent into handicaps, both wins over 1m7f on good to soft ground at Musselburgh; an 8lb rise seems harsh enough for last time, for all that he won readily, and this a lot deeper; still respected with him on an upward curve. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Consistent over hurdles for current yard; successful in last two Flat turf attempts, latest at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last month returned to this code; 1-1 over 1m6f and warrants respect. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m6f at Salisbury (good to soft) for Daisy Hitchins last summer; has been running creditably in defeat over hurdles since joining Tristan Davidson, including placed twice here; leading claims back on the Flat in a race where her rivals have something to prove. |
6/4 |

3rd 6 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |

Ready Kempton winner (2m novices' handicap, good) for Daisy Hitchins last October; consistent for Tristan Davidson (366233), giving her best when a close third in the Sea Pigeon Series Final at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) recently; 2lb higher but bang there with repeat. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Front-runner who won at Ayr (2m, heavy) in January before solid third at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft), and he won again at Ayr (2m, soft) last month; further improvement is necessary today, but possible. |
6/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In-form contender who registered an account-opening success over C&D (heavy) on penultimate start and ran creditably at Musselburgh (good to soft) latest, both in Class 4 events; solid claims returned to Ayr and dropped back in grade. |
5/2 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |

Showed a good attitude to get off the mark at Ayr (2m, heavy) 18 days ago, making the running and rallying; up 5lb but may have more in the tank and has to be respected. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Progressive 6yo with 3-5 strike-rate over fences, including two 2m1f course wins this season; ran big race when close third behind Sir Tivo here (2m1f, good to firm) last month and could still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip. |
15/8 |

3rd 3 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Progressive 6yo with 3-4 strike-rate over fences, including two fast-ground C&D wins this season; the form of last month's 20l success in a three-runner race is tricky to evaluate (odds-on favourite below par) but a 4lb rise could have been worse and he may still be on the upgrade. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Without a win on the Flat since 2021 and he came in only ninth of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap 23 days ago; others appeal more. |
9/1 |

9th 7 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent hurdler who returned to the Flat with respectable fourth (just behind Penelope's Sister) over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower today and might be better suited by the slightly slower ground; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (10) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 3-54 but he's been placed over hurdles in his last two runs and is well handicapped on his best Flat form in 2025; hard to rule out back in this sphere and he has won at this track. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice in June, here over 1m2f and over this trip at Musselburgh; put two lesser runs behind him when second at the latter track (1m5f, good) in July but found the drop back to 1m1f against him there four weeks ago; steps back up in trip with claims. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice in June (1m2f/1m4f) and put two poor performances behind him when clear second here (1m5f, good) a week ago; can cope with this drop back in trip and is still on a workable mark; ought to make his presence felt. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won minor events at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) and here (extended 1m4f, good) in June; reportedly bled from the nose in his hat-trick bid and then ran poorly at Newcastle last week; not easy to assess. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Only won a maiden over hurdles but was placed in two handicaps and gets in off a lower mark for this debut over fences (second in his only point); worth considering. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |

1-7 over hurdles; returned from wind surgery with creditable third at Doncaster (2m, good; handles good to soft) five weeks ago; 1lb lower here and should be involved again. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Made all in Sedgefield maiden (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; below that form on next outing and absent since falling in March but could quite plausibly have improvement to come in handicaps this season. |

11st 11lb |
Both wins have come here and she made all in maiden over C&D (good to soft) in November; possibly failed to stay 2m4f on handicap debut last time; needs to bounce back but it's possible. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 |
21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner who was far too good for Centurion's Sister when winning Musselburgh bumper (good to soft) on rules debut in March; rather disappointing when well-held third at Kelso (good) the following month but was given a wind op during the summer and remains a good hurdling prospect; tongue-tie added. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 |
22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Joined Lucinda Russell after clearcut win on Irish point debut (soft ground) in January and maintained unbeaten record with fairly comfortable success in mares' race at Musselburgh (good to soft) last month; carries a penalty and takes on males here but still commands respect. |
