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. |
11/4 |

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. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who won here (2m, good) in May and at Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; returned to form with good third at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last time and he's a possible contender. |
11/1 |

3rd 9 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won at Musselburgh (2m, good) in May and Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; however, he seemed to find the trip too sharp over C&D (good) in between and ran poorly over 2m when favourite at Musselburgh on Friday. |
9/2 |

5th 6 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps this year, making all for wins over C&D and at Ayr (1m7f, soft); there could well be more in the tank and he's a strong contender despite his latest 4lb rise. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Showed no significant promise in her three qualifying races over hurdles in January-March but makes handicap hurdle debut from a basement mark and returns to this code after winning on the Flat (1m4f; RPR 61) last month; interesting. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Modest maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and showed little in three hurdles for current yard this year; last month's return to the Flat was much more encouraging though, keeping on strongly over 1m4f at Musselburgh, and she now has something to build on. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Modest maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and has shown little in three hurdles for current yard this year; best watched back on the Flat unless the betting suggests otherwise. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Poor strike-rate but there have been several good runs in defeat this year and his record at Hamilton reads -30222; has run well on soft but a slightly quicker surface may be ideal. |
11/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win from 27 starts came on the AW at Newcastle last August but he's been runner-up on turf six times, including when caught late at Hamilton (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; switch of headgear today; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent gelding who went close over C&D in early June and came back to that sort of level when behind Patrick Street three days ago (8lb better off back into a handicap); often pulls hard and it will depend on his mood. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with wins at Musselburgh (1m4f, good to soft) and Hamilton (1m4f, soft), but he's struggled this season including on his stable debut last month; would be a positive if the forecast rain arrives but he needs a big turnaround. |
16/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a pair of 1m4f wins in Scotland on good to soft/soft; well below par in three comeback outings this spring and sold out of Iain Jardine's yard for £3,500 last month; all turf starts on good or softer; a watching brief is advised. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a pair of 1m4f wins, the first of them here and by a wide margin; two heavy defeats this spring but he's the type to pop up soon, perhaps when faced with some slower ground. |

12/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; far from solid on overall handicap form but shaped with some promise at Newcastle (1m2f; second start for new yard) most recently; check for market support. |
14/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Placed in two novice/maiden events (1m3f/1m2f) when trained by Tom Ward last year but she struggled once switched to handicaps, and failed to beat a rival here on her stable debut 25 days ago; dropped another 5lb. |

9st 2lb |
Off the mark on AW at Newcastle (1m4f) in September 2024 on his final start for Rebecca Menzies but hasn't seriously threatened in two recent AW outings for new yard since returning from a long absence. |
9/1 |
|
8th 7 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in September 2024 on his final start for Rebecca Menzies; didn't shape badly here over 1m4f on his stable debut last time having been off for 558 days; may build on that over this longer trip. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sent off 1-3 when making it 17th-time lucky at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in September 2024; has since left Rebecca Menzies (same owners) and the market should reveal what is expected. |
