29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Back to form when taking advantage of a reduced mark at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at Chester (6f) next time but good ground offers a plausible excuse and this stiff 5f will suit; confidence would increase with every drop of rain. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Set a course record when justifying favouritism by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) on penultimate start; didn't see it out, in a race which has yielded various winners, at Hamilton (6f) three weeks ago; sits close to career-high mark. |
8/1 |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won a C&D maiden in 2024; ran well here on his first two starts this year and won a handicap by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) last month; form figures at this track read 14232 and he makes the shortlist. |

9st 2lb |
Prominent racer who has run two good races at Hamilton (6f, good and 5f, good to soft) this season; unraced on faster than good but a key player if underfoot conditions are suitable. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Beat 16 rivals when scoring from off the pace at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) in April; three placed efforts since but he flopped when favourite at Musselburgh last time and that took his record to 1-16; comes with risks attached back up in trip. |

5th 3 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Mainly in good form since winning over C&D in April (good to soft), last week finishing a neck second here (good, hood on for second time; Jer Batt 0.5l back in third); chance. |

2nd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Often promised better as a 3yo; ran well over C&D on his reappearance in April and confirmed that promise by seeing off 16 rivals here eight days later; his progress has stalled more recently but it wouldn't be a great surprise to see him return to form back at Musselburgh. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Cheekpieces on for the first time when ending a long losing sequence at Ayr (6f) in July; backed it up with a good third of 11 at Hamilton (5f) a week ago; must enter calculations back up to 6f with headgear retained. |
14/1 |

3rd 7 (12) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Had first-time cheekpieces (retained) when making all at Ayr (5f, good to firm) a month ago for his first win in a while; put back up 4lb but still has handicapping scope if the headgear works again. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight wins in all, including three this April-June; she's mostly continued to run with credit (with three seconds) and should be close up. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner who has finished runner-up in three of her last four starts, including at Catterick (5f) last week; should be in the mix again and she won't mind what the weather does. |

2nd 10 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Eight-time winner; bounced back from a lesser effort when second over C&D nine days ago but she was 4l behind Our Absent Friends; this is tougher. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Headstrong filly who has been very in and out but she was second of 16 in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) in June and returned to form when third at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last time; not discounted. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came on the AW at Southwell in April, but she was unlucky not to press the progressive Naana's Shadow even closer in the 3yo dash at Epsom (5f, good); hasn't matched that level in three starts since but drops in grade and a strong pace would suit this headstrong filly. |
12/1 |
|
13th 19 (6) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Highly capable on her day, as when going close in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) in June; a case can be made on that form but this headstrong filly has been well beaten on both starts since and has something to prove. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Gained the second of his two C&D wins in June when wearing cheekpieces for the first time (good); well beaten last two starts, but blinkers didn't work on first occasion and he didn't stay 6f at Catterick on Monday; could bounce back. |
20/1 |

9th 1 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
All his wins have come over 5f, the latest at Hamilton in June (good to firm; cheekpieces first time); mixed bag since and although returning to Class 6 company will help, he may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers. |
10/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-5 over C&D, the latest win coming in first-time cheekpieces in June (good to firm, has won on soft); still just 2lb higher, but not the most consistent; first-time blinkers. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Quirky customer with two C&D wins on his record and now 6lb lower than for last July's success; running himself into form this year but his stable look to hold stronger claims elsewhere. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |
