9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; failed to beat a rival in two runs last month and needs to turn things around quickly. |

9st 10lb |
Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; 50-1 and finished out with the washing in a Class 3 at Hamilton 18 days ago; this is more suitable. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Proved resurgent dropped back to Class 5 at Ayr (1m, soft) on Friday, beating Motawaared by 1l, pair clear; likely player under 4lb penalty kept to this level, provided he remains in form. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner but no worthwhile form in six starts since a 3l defeat in April (1m, good to soft); the return of blinkers did nothing last time. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Plenty of good efforts since the blinkers went on, including an all-the-way win over C&D (good to firm; acts on soft) in June; also made all over 1m1f at Musselburgh towards the end of August and it may be worth forgiving a lesser effort at Carlisle last week after a slowish start meant he was unable to take up his usual front-running role (also pulled too hard); C&D form figures of 23122 earn him a place on the shortlist. |
10/1 |

10th 3 (4) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He was gaining his second win of the summer when making all in a 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 16 days ago; up 3lb but won't mind what the weather does and he'll be fine back at 7f; high on the list. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Hamilton specialist who ran well at that track on his seasonal return in May; too keen when disappointing at Pontefract later that month and absent since; has run well over C&D on slow ground in the past. |
7/1 |
|
10th 4 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 4yo maiden whose turn may be near, having finished a good second in last three starts, latest when 1l behind Empirestateofmind at Ayr (1m, soft; clear of remainder) on Friday; gets a 4lb pull with that rival; solid chance. |

9st 4lb |
No wins in 15 but bang there in his last three races, at 1m1f and 1m2f; handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so has to be considered. |

3rd 9 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
She returned to form when runner-up over C&D (soft) yesterday, a race she finished third in last year before winning a division of this race a day later; has to be taken seriously. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 13 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
She's not been at the top of her game on her last three starts but she's on a handy mark on this season's best efforts and finished a creditable third in a division of this race last year. |
12/1 |
