22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Solid record (22112) having wind surgery, proving better than ever; beaten only half a length by Chasingouttheblues at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) most recently; firmly in the mix. |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in December on third chase start and followed up at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft); climbing the weights but this 8yo is clearly on the up. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Disappointing on both runs this year and needs to turn things around; however, perhaps first-time cheekpieces will help and she won over C&D (good to soft) in November on her last visit here. |
7/1 |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Justified market support when winning at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) in November; didn't see it out as well as the principals at Ayr (3m; fourth of ten) next time, before pulling up on heavy ground at Leicester latest; probable player if returning to peak form. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Opened account with clearcut success at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November and ran well until stamina ebbed away at Ayr (3m, heavy) last month; drops back in trip here and has another big role to play. |

23rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Off 444 days before this season, during which he's been well below form but still managed a third at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January; latest start was a rare foray over fences; accelerating down the weights and first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces. |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Only had three chase runs and he's off the same mark for the 3m2f win at Doncaster just over two years ago; has to recapture that level of form but he's been running over hurdles this season. |

Departed early here 18 days ago; has become hard to predict and would prefer further ideally; there's also the major hindrance of being 10lb out of the weights. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Launched handicap career with two close seconds at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft/heavy) last spring but has not been in the same form on his three outings this season, most recently when upped to 3m in January; needs to up his game. |

10st 7lb |
Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won easily this winter over about 3m on good to soft at Newcastle and Musselburgh; fourth off revised mark at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) was another good effort but tailed off at Musselburgh 11 days ago when most of the hurdles were omitted; needs to resume improvement in first-time cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in December and followed up over this C&D (good to soft), again easily; having gone up the weights she was fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) last time but that was still a good run in a warm mares' handicap and she's one to consider today. |
6/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Has improved following wind surgery this season, winning handicaps at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) and Musselburgh (3m, good to soft); went up 9lb for latest win, so facing stiff task here, particularly as she is down in trip. |

Beat Guernesey (2lb better off) by a neck at Hexham in December (2m7f, heavy) but pulled up both starts since (tried in new headgear last time); cheekpieces back on but plenty to prove at present. |

Won narrowly at Hexham in December (2m7f, heavy) but a nothing run behind Shoeshine Boy here underlined his inconsistency; visor replaces cheekpieces. |
