13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two of his last four, accounting for Snow Dragon at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft; from 4lb lower) in February; the snag is that the other two efforts were laboured ones, beaten 28l into fourth over 2m here (good) three weeks ago; this longer trip can assist. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Inconsistent but won at Ayr (2m3f, heavy) in December and returned to form to win at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in February on his latest start; ran well on good ground here last May and it's possible he'll cope with the drop back in trip; he can be in the shake-up if on another going day. |

Three-time winner, most recently at Ayr (2m3f) on penultimate start; however, by no means certain to repeat that form, being far from consistent otherwise. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Fourth to Parish Star over C&D (heavy; beaten 13l) in January and went closer (runner-up) in a five-runner affair at Musselburgh subsequently; usual 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retains the ride; can added cheekpieces make a difference? |

2nd 4 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden who has consistent form figures, including over C&D, this season; reasonably solid but chance of winning may depend on whether he's able to show better progress. |
6/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Yet to win in seven runs over hurdles; fair third at Musselburgh in November (2m4f, good to soft) but not so good over same C&D on soft ground last time; may fare better here. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Didn't run badly when fifth of eight at Kelso (2m5f, good) three weeks ago and continues to slip down the weights but has modest 2-21 strike-rate over hurdles; others appeal more. |
7/1 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won a Down Royal handicap in March 2025 for Gordon Elliott (2m4f, good); best run for present yard when third at Newcastle in January (2m4f, good to soft) but hasn't fared as well since. |
16/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
On a losing sequence but in good form for her current yard until coming in a never-dangerous sixth in 2m4f Musselburgh handicap 22 days ago; she can bounce back off a slipping mark. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes. |
12/1 |

6th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February, latterly to The Coffey Boy; does need to shrug off two lesser runs since, though. |
11/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Got back on the up with a third success of the season in 2m1f handicap at Carlisle 20 days ago; up another 4lb but this course winner is a likely player once more for his in-form yard. |
100/30 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ran no race last time at Musselburgh (soft) but had been in a good run of form and this drier surface should work in his favour. |
