2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |

Won over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) in May and some fair runs since in handicap and claiming company; wouldn't appreciate rain. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |

Off the mark at Ayr in May when landing a 1m1f handicap off 63; some decent runs since, most notably when 1l behind Minaun View in a Ballinrobe claimer in July; finished further behind that rival at Killarney next time and posted a moderate effort in a Naas handicap latest. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time winner (8.5f-1m2f) who is often slowly away; ran well when third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last time in a race won by a subsequent winner; has since left Iain Jardine having been bought for £5,000; has the hood removed for his stable debut and has stamina to prove. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Has never won above Class 6 and doesn't look as if he's about to put that right; consistent spell has been terminated by his form taking a dip in last few runs. |

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. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 5yo who won twice over C&D last month (good/good to firm); probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 4lb rise but ought to be on the premises again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple turf winner who made it 2-2 over C&D when bouncing back with a comfortable success (good) three weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; key player. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two-time course scorer who came in a close third at Ayr (Off Spin in second) before extending her run of good efforts with a close fifth of 12 in 1m2f handicap there 13 days ago; a player once more eased 1lb. |
11/4 |
|
5th 11 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f); not the force of old but returned from break with respectable runs of late, most recently when a never-nearer third over C&D (good) yesterday; should be in the thick of it if turning out again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer in 2024; back in good form of late, runner-up in nine-runner handicap over C&D 16 days ago; a likely player again, nudged up 1lb. |

0-30 but comes here in good nick, third of ten in 1m classified event at Ayr 23 days ago; must enter calculations back in handicap company. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten only by a short head and a nose when third in similar C&D race to this last month and also ran well when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, but his 0-29 strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Third of 13 in a similar contest over C&D last month and only just lost out when third of ten at Ayr (1m, good) on his penultimate outing; record of 0-28 is hard to ignore, though. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won 1m2f Bath novice as 2yo but just middling form from the front here of late, over 1m2f, 7f and 6f; dropping down the weights but this is competitive and the other two from the yard look more interesting. |
20/1 |

7th 8 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Only win was in a 1m2f novice at Bath (heavy) for Marcus Tregoning in October 2024; tried at various trips by Jim Goldie, best run when third over 7f here two weeks ago (good to firm; made the running); interesting on her first run at 6f. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to strike form after four runs for new stable this year (1m-1m2f) and her only win was gained over 1m2f on heavy ground; continues to slip down the weights but drops back to 7f with quite a bit to prove. |

9th 9 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Dual course winner, the most recent over this trip (Class 6, good to soft) over a year ago; no obvious excuses (form figures 9549) in 2026, but does have a capable 5lb claimer aboard, and further rain could assist; stablemate of Golden Valour. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually a front-runner; doesn't have the best of strike-rates (2-22) but three good runs in blinkers at Ayr (1m; all on good to firm; has form on good to soft) in June and he stays this trip; a possible. |
5/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer; galvanised by first-time blinkers when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and although he has been expensive to follow since, he has still performed with great credit; the headgear was left off at Ayr last week but returns today; big run expected. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 (10) |

Handles all surfaces; many good runs on turf over the last year, making all in first-time blinkers here (1m, good to firm) in July and two solid efforts since; headgear left off now tackling 7f for the first time since 2yo days in Ireland but has another good run in him. |

Veteran (5-81) stablemate of Zebra Star; respectable third over 1m here (good to firm) in July, but could make only minimal inroads over C&D (fifth; 22-1) latest; this is a slightly easier task. |
