24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Sole success came over C&D on soft ground; beaten a long way both starts this season but he's now back to his winning mark and a return to Uttoxeter could spark a revival. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Came good with hard-fought success on his reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November and has improved on that in two Ayr outings since, upped to around this trip and winning on soft last time; up 8lb which demands another career best but he has to be respected in current form. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |

Came good with hard-fought success on seasonal debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November, his seventh start over hurdles, and bettered that performance when clear second to a handicap blot here (2m3f, soft) the following month; no surprise if he plays another major role. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Contested a competitive Class 2 on penultimate start and that was only eight days after winning at Hexham; did it comfortably last time at Southwell (3m, good) and she looks progressive all of a sudden; up 8lb but William Maggs takes away 5lb of that. |

Battled well to open account at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) last month, her tenth hurdling start, and not beaten far when seventh in a competitive series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) a week later; 5lb higher now but still considered. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind. |
8/1 |

6th 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Now 0-20 over hurdles but was bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and when beaten nearly 20l the last time he got pressured up front; unlikely to be far away. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-19 over hurdles, which could be the bottom line, but he's been placed on four of his six starts this season, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on good ground over C&D and Stratford's 2m6f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; looks set to be seriously involved again. |

Best effort in three 2m maidens was his 28l fifth of ten runners behind the smart Regent's Stroll at Newbury in November; could be a very different proposition in this low-grade handicap and a tongue-tie is added. |

Not fully exposed after only seven starts but was pulled up on consecutive appearances for this new stable in February (2m4f/2m7f) and returns from 196-day break with lots to prove. |

Lightly raced ex-Irish gelding who was outclassed in a maiden on final run last summer but pulled up in a handicap before that; looks on a harsh mark. |

Corbridge point winner (2m4f) for Brian Harding; essentially disappointing since switched to racing under rules and has lacked for fluency in two attempts over fences; competes from an easing mark in a weak race. |
