6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins over fences, one over C&D, in March 2025 (good/good to soft); ran one of his best races since when second at Hexham (1m7f, good) last time and should go well again. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Mixed form this term but when soundly beaten at Carlisle last time he was in a competitive series final; now just 2lb higher than when readily completing a double at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) last March so can go well if back on song; tongue-tie added to cheekpieces adopted last time. |

10st 8lb |
This month last year he won successive handicap chase at 2m4f (good) and 2m1f (good to soft); hasn't recaptured that form (beaten 12l when second two runs ago) but cheekpieces are now given a go. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Generally solid for this yard, winning his latest two races on officially good ground, at 2m5f and 2m3f, just prevailing over a well-treated one here latterly; up in trip but the first win was on Carlisle's stiff track so he could stay this far; considered. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Gentle progression this spring culminated in April's Carlisle win (2m5f, good), and possible excuses both starts since (boiled over; 2m1f too sharp); no RPR better than 91 when there's been give in the ground. |
8/1 |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Came good for Sam England at third attempt, readily winning Carlisle chase (2m5f, good) by over 8l last month, and reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries before this month's poor run at Hexham; can be dangerous if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Made it 12th-time lucky over fences when scoring over C&D (good to soft; from 2lb lower) three starts back; excuses since - fell, and then out of depth in a valuable Class 2 Series Final at Carlisle; could bounce back with Danny McMenamin returning to the saddle. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Mid-race faller last weekend when bidding for a Newcastle double (maiden under rules previously); ran respectably over C&D in February; 4lb out of weights but could go well with a clear round. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Point winner; won his first race under rules here last time (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for third time); seems equally effective at this trip and should go well off this 3lb higher mark. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Returned to form to win this race off a 3lb higher mark last year; has been rather disappointing on his last couple of starts and more is needed for a repeat win. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

Off the mark over fences when scoring at Hexham last May (2m4f, good to soft); hasn't been in such good form since; 1lb lower than his winning mark; drier ground should suit. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and placed on last two starts, most recently runner-up at Kelso (2m1f, good) last week; the step back up in trip poses a question but he's a leading player if seeing it out. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two wins at Sedgefield last season, the second a 2m1f handicap chase (good); went up 6lb for that and was put up another 7lb for finishing 4l third from 8lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month (2m, soft); could go well despite that rise. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Progressive in cheekpieces, winning at Sedgefield in November (2m1f, soft; hurdles) and March (2m, good; fences); should appreciate going back left-handed after being soundly beaten at Carlisle last time but he's 8lb out of the handicap today and the cheekpieces are left off. |

No wins in 11, with seven over fences; however, did finish second after wind surgery at Carlisle (2m5f, good) and could build on that, for all that it was some 178 days ago. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Posted some good efforts when cheekpieces were added towards the end of last season, perhaps most notably when second at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, and his run at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better than eventual 33l defeat suggests; one to consider. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 under rules but posted some pretty good efforts in cheekpieces towards end of last season, most recently when second from out of the weights at Kelso (2m4f, good) one month ago; can make his presence felt off correct mark here. |
