3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Progressed during a light campaign last season and has taken it up another notch the last twice; this looks a deeper race than the Lingfield (turf) handicap in which he was narrowly beaten five weeks ago, though, and he'll need more again. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressed during a light campaign last season and turned in a career-best effort over this trip for the first time at Ayr (good to firm) ten days ago; holds decent claims upped 3lb under 3lb claimer Jack Callan, who's enjoying a fine season and is 10-44 for the yard. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |

Hit hard by the handicapper after winning at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last May; ran well fresh when third at Kempton (1m, Class 4) in October but held in better quality races since, including at Newmarket 18 days ago; moves beyond a mile for the first time. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |

11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |
10/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April (final start for Stuart Williams); good start for Jennie Candlish when third over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) but not in the same form when beaten favourite at Carlisle (1m) ten days later; quite a strong traveller over those trips but whether he has the speed for sprinting remains to be seen. |
10/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here. |
2/1 |

6th 7 (12) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Only his third run for Jim Goldie when scoring at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and off a 2lb rise he was a closing third over 1m1f here (good) when not assisted by his track position; bang in form and should run well. |
15/8 |

3rd 15 (13) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Just his third run for Jim Goldie when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Hamilton (1m1f, good) nine days ago; only nudged up 2lb and remains well treated on old form (won last year's Spring Mile at Doncaster off 10lb higher); top of the list. |

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. |

11-race maiden; only one effort of note since joining Jim Goldie but he drops into his first 0-60 having undergone wind surgery since last seen; interesting to see how strong he is in the market. |

6th 2 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Still a maiden but he's made a positive start for Jim Goldie and stayed on late into fifth in 1m Hamilton handicap 12 days ago; one to consider back up in trip here. |
100/30 |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Placed in a novice and a maiden (both 1m) for George Boughey; low key (0-4, often slowly away) since joining Jim Goldie for 12,000gns; drops into a Class 6 for the first time, though, with cheekpieces added; no forlorn hope. |

Ended 2025 when completing a hat-trick over C&D (third C&D success) in October but he's yet to fire this summer, soon ridden when only seventh of ten over C&D 16 days ago; has something to prove now. |

Not at the top of her game this season but she's dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks ago; creditable third of four at Hamilton on Thursday; three wins here include one at this trip and she warrants a good look. |

7-24 with his last win coming when joined on the line at Ripon (1m, good; 3-1 favourite) in April 2025; struggled on AW through the winter (0-4), and was pestered for the lead, weakening to finish fifth (beaten 8l), at Ripon five weeks ago; an easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

Won once in four for Ralph Beckett, easily at short odds at Windsor (1m, novice; good) last September; underwhelming thereafter at Newcastle (1m) and Ripon (1m2f), and moved on for a knockdown 14,000gns; low mileage but best watched on stable debut (second run in a handicap). |
