Promise on all three starts over hurdles, best effort on first go at 2m4f when runner-up here last time (soft); one to consider. |

Fair form in two bumpers and two hurdles, last time finishing third of nine at Newcastle (2m, good; evens favourite); this stiffer test of stamina should suit; one to consider. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April and followed up at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; he's performed respectably here (2m6f, good to soft) and at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) since and this lightly raced 6yo may still have more to offer, especially now back up in trip. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-5 over hurdles with a comfortable 2m4f win here in December but off this 7lb higher mark he was never on an even keel when fourth at Kelso (2m6f); perhaps the track didn't help and, while it's surprising to see him back at 2m1f, he's a respected runner. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Comfortably won maiden hurdle at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April but hasn't cut much ice since, including on chasing debut at Carlisle earlier this month; fair bit to prove from out of the weights on handicap debut and needs first-time cheekpieces to have a positive effect. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Comfortably won maiden hurdle at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April; this point winner could be suited by the switch to fences but he's been soundly beaten in two novice hurdles this season and has something to find in today's company even if he's back to his best. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ten-race maiden; tried chasing without success this year and, having been pulled up Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) when returned to hurdling last time, is perhaps best watched for now. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Chasing has not really gone to plan this year (unplaced all four attempts) but he shaped well when fourth in C&D hurdle (soft) on seasonal debut in December and is now 8lb lower; headgear removed; worth a second look. |
7/1 |

Showed some promise in points and over hurdles, but was 31l behind Hawkseye View over 2m4f here last week (cheekpieces tried); new headgear and up in trip, but plenty to find. |

Bolted up at Ayr (3m, heavy) in December on third chase start; well beaten back there last month but made a bad mistake six out; he'll be in the picture if rediscovering the form of his December win. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winning pointer but he's generally struggled under rules including in three hurdle runs at Ayr (3m/2m4f) early this year; still lightly raced and now goes handicapping over fences but he needs improvement after 209 days off. |

11st 1lb |
Soundly beaten in seventh in three maiden hurdles and pulled up on handicap hurdle debut at Perth last April (3m, good to soft; 12-1); absent since and plenty to prove but this very lightly raced point runner-up is one to watch in the betting now tackling fences in first-time cheekpieces. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Placed in all three bumpers last year; did not get competitive in first three hurdle races but his fifth at Perth (2m, good) in May was more encouraging and he's open to significant further progress in handicaps. |

Having not achieved much previously, he made his handicap debut off this lowly mark at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last month and finished third of ten, beaten just under 8l; this unexposed 6yo might not be far away. |

10st 5lb |
Not beaten that far when seventh on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good) in March but tailed off in C&D novice the following month (first-time cheekpieces) and not seen again since; 4lb wrong here and not the most obvious answer. |
