13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Course bumper winner (good to soft) who followed up on hurdle debut over C&D (good) last October; the return to Hexham and drop back in trip could suit following two heavy defeats over 2m5f/2m6f, but a couple of the other previous winners have shown stronger form. |
8/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Unexposed 5yo; runner-up in a point and then built on rules debut when readily winning bumper here in March (good to soft) by 6l; should make a jumper and has obvious claims on hurdling debut. |

travelled strongly, in touch with leaders, headway and went second 8f out, led over 2f out, shaken up and kept on well inside final furlong, readily |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Runner-up on debut in a bumper at Hexham last March but unable to reproduce that form in a further two starts in bumpers and three over hurdles; this is his handicap debut, however, and he's well related. |
14/1 |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up on debut in bumper at Hexham last March but unable to reproduce that promise since and tailed off/pulled up on his two hurdle starts. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Showed promise in all three bumpers but lacked fluency and was always behind on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; up in trip today. |

Consistent in bumpers, albeit with ordinary RPRs; couple of poorer results at Kelso since switched to hurdles; plenty to find. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Making handicap debut but hasn't offered enough in his qualifying races; only of interest if backed. |
40/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Home-bred; fair fifth over C&D on second run over hurdles (good to soft; 66-1); improvement likely. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Didn't show enough in two Hexham bumpers in the spring to warrant serious consideration on this hurdling debut. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up in two of her three hurdle starts, including in a C&D novice (150-1) five weeks ago; whether she's capable of better switched to handicap company (debut) remains to be seen; far safer to focus elsewhere. |
40/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Third in a Newcastle bumper in December (2m1f, good to soft) but has finished last on his other three starts, including on last month's hurdles debut (80-1). |
50/1 |
|
10th 3 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Tailed off on two of his three bumper starts but in between this brother to useful 2m3f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Hidden History was third of 11 at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft), and he's an each-way contender if rediscovering that promise now switched to hurdles. |
50/1 |

15th 8 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Left last March's debut well behind when 5l third over C&D (2m1f, good to soft) last month, behind Ronnie Russet who now carries a 7lb penalty; each-way contender. |
12/1 |
