15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner who hasn't been out of the first two over hurdles and his defeat two runs back was at the hands of a useful horse; odds of 1-4 last time and that win told us little, but he brings momentum into this handicap debut. |
5/2 |

1st 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A fairly useful dual bumper winner who has made a promising start in this sphere, landing C&D novice in February before advancing his form when second of five under a penalty at Bangor (2m) 16 days ago; holds major claims. |
4/7 |

2nd 1 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won two bumpers and also ran well in a Listed race at Cheltenham; narrowly denied on his hurdle debut here (soft) but comfortably went one better as an odds-on chance at Doncaster (good to soft); talented and going the right way. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won good-ground bumper by 8l in March 2025; rather disappointing when well-held third on hurdle debut in October and has failed to complete twice since but shaped with promise before weakening and falling at Southwell (2m, good) last month, after a break. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Good-ground bumper winner; not performed to the same level in two runs over hurdles but he's since had wind surgery. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner who made the frame in his first two runs over hurdles before a disappointing effort at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October, after which he underwent wind surgery; returned from a break to finish a solid third over C&D last month and, still unexposed, may have more to offer now switching to handicaps. |
6/4 |
|
3rd 2 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Bumper winner; placed form over hurdles and he's had wind surgery since a poor run at Fakenham in October; has to be considered in this modest a race. |
11/2 |

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed on both hurdling starts, more recently when second of five at Warwick (2m, good) this month; ought to give another good account here but his form isn't anything to get too excited about. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but was unable to justify his market prominence when safely held on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in December and struggled in a Catterick claimer on Wednesday; 1lb wrong here; needs a good boost from the new blinkers. |
20/1 |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; no impact whatsoever from a lowly base for handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f; seventh of eight, beaten 21l) in December; off for 83 days since; rates as an unlikely candidate. |
66/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Poor form in bumpers/over hurdles; wears cheekpieces for Flat debut; Geordie Mackem looks the stable's main hope. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly-raced maiden who came in a remote third over C&D in February; cheekpieces on when unseated rider at the third in a 2m novice here 22 days ago and he needs to take a big step forward. |
20/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Belied 200-1 odds when respectable fifth on hurdle debut here (2m4f, good to soft) last month but did not achieve a great deal when well-held third of four over that trip a fortnight later; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; improvement required. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Tailed off in sole bumper and 22l behind Follow Your Luck when fifth of ten at 200-1 on recent hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft); lots of improvement is needed to turn the tables with his stablemate but at least that latest run gives him something to build on; not ruled out each-way. |
