1st 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Triple winner at up to 2m4f (soft and good); inconsistency tempers confidence in her backing up last month's Perth near-miss (2m4f, good; first-time visor retained), but has staying potential on breeding. |
4/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Ayr winner in November (2m3f, soft); some fair form in lower grade events than this since; visor replaces normal cheekpieces. |

Not one to rely upon heavily but won in good style here (2m3f, soft) in November and has been placed on two of her subsequent four appearances; can make presence felt if in right mood. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in all five chases, the first two over C&D in May (good to soft/good); bumped into an improver when clear second at Perth (3m, good) in August and will be a tough nut to crack here if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Bang there in all four races since switched to fences and he was running on last time at Cartmel (2m5f); this trip is well worth exploring. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Runner-up in all three chases, most recently when going close over C&D (soft; also suited by good) last month; continues to creep up the weights but seems very likely to be on the premises again. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won this last year (heavy) and, following an unsuccessful stint over fences, he returned to form when back over hurdles and third over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago, when short of room turning for home; contender. |

3rd 1 |
10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |

Won twice over C&D last February (soft, heavy); fair form over fences this season; on a good mark on his return to hurdling and an interesting contender. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Both hurdles wins at Ayr (2m4f); was in the process of showing best chase form when hampered and unseating rider soon after two out there (2m) last time; could go well off a handy mark, provided he takes to Sedgefield (first run here). |

Came good at 32nd attempt, from just out of the weights in Perth chase (3m, good) ten days ago; has run well here (albeit over hurdles) and is still unexposed over staying trips; no surprise if he features. |

Has 0-31 strike-rate and is 2lb wrong today but ran quite well when upped to 3m over hurdles at Ayr (soft; also suited by good) in March and remains unexposed over this trip; back over fences today; not ruled out. |

8th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |

His mark continues to fall but this 7yo remains a maiden after 21 rules starts and recent evidence doesn't indicate a win is imminent. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made it 0-20 under rules when pulled up over fences at Ayr last week; however, before that he posted two fair runs over hurdles (2m5f/2m) and shaped as though he would benefit from this longer trip; well treated on last spring's chase form; could appreciate the return to hurdling; interesting. |
33/1 |

11th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |

19-race maiden; placed in handicap, a couple of hunter chases and in two points last year; two fair runs over hurdles this term after wind surgery; well handicapped but others appeal more. |

Seems to have learned to settle better on recent outings and kept on well for close fourth (just behind Willie Shake Hands) over C&D (good to soft) last month; slightly disappointing at Ayr since but still considered. |

Remains winless but he posted a good fourth of 13 in 2m Newcastle handicap hurdle 22 days ago given he was set plenty to do; this keen-going sort can't be discounted off the same mark. |

Off the mark over hurdles at 12th attempt, with clearcut success at Perth (2m, good) last month; 8lb rise demands more from her here but something may have clicked. |

1st 14 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Remains a maiden after 12 starts but she ran well when fourth at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last month and could get closer to the target today if staying straight (hung badly left on the run-in last time). |

11st 0lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) last November on second chase start and some good runs since, most recently 12l third of 12 in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); this is less competitive; high on the list. |
11/2 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won the 2m1f handicap chase on this card last year and went in again at Newcastle in November (good to soft); subsequent defeats hint at a vulnerability off this higher mark and he was behind Tanking Along last time. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |

Built upon promising seasonal/chase debut when scoring at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in November and again ran well when close fourth of six at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January; drops back in trip here; might still have more to offer over fences. |

Beaten about 43l on hurdling debut just under a year ago and has form-figures of PRP in the meantime; however, she put in a pretty good front-running shift before tiring over 2m5f on her latest outing and today's drop back in trip looks the right move on her handicap debut; worth a second look. |
