24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won four-runner handicap at Hexham last June (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); disappointing since; needs first-time blinkers to bring about significant improvement. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Captured this prize last year (fourth win at the track) and caught the eye when eighth of 12 in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 34 days ago, racing wide and set a lot to do; he's a player off a 2lb lower mark now. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
12yo who exploited a career-low mark in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since) at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November and followed up there (3m, good to soft) in December, making all under Oscar Palmer each time; he's a player if resuming where he left off. |

Not the force of old but, following a wind operation, arrested decline and was placed twice at Hexham (2m4f; stays 3m) in the spring; absent since falling quite heavily there in May but has a fighting chance if ready to roll. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Now 7lb lower than when placed at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but looked very unenthusiastic before eventually keeping on for fourth there (2m, good to soft) last month and was pulled up in first-time visor (retained) on latest outing. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Flat scorer whose form in handicap hurdles is largely encouraging, staying-on third at Hexham (2m, good) most recently; enters calculations off same mark. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in January on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft) and bounced back from a lesser run when second here (2m5f, good to soft) 12 days ago in a first-time tongue-tie (retained); won a 3m point in 2024 and there's every chance he'll stay this far under rules; high on the list. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won in January on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft), shaping each time as though he had more left in the tank; soundly beaten at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) since but that maybe shouldn't be taken as a sign that his current mark is beyond him; cheekpieces go on. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Progressed well over hurdles; didn't appear to be doing a lot in front when just holding on to make it 2-2 over fences at Catterick (2m3f, soft; second run in cheekpieces); has another 6lb to contend with but very much heading the right way. |

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. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Took a sizeable step forward when winning over C&D (soft) in February and he followed up at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago; he's 5lb higher than last time and is in much more competitive race today, but this progressive 6yo could still have more left in the tank. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |

Has made steady progress in the cheekpieces and would have won anyway last time at Ayr after being left clear late on (3m, soft); 4lb out of the weights so he's 9lb higher this time and in a stronger race to boot. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

10yo whose form has been mixed this season but he's edged back down the weights and his Newmarket yard is 3-6 here; capable of a big run. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Most consistent win or lose over either obstacle for this stable until finding a brush hurdle series final at Worcester all too much last time (2m4f, good); swimming in calmer waters again on this return to fences, albeit still above any class he's ever won in. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Consistent over fences and hurdles for new stable this season, winning once under each discipline; suited by this C&D but may find less exposed rivals better handicapped today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

Well below best since returning from a long layoff this year, most recently when never-dangerous sixth behind Top Flight Century at Perth (2m4f, good) 18 days ago, and is yet to add to his C&D win in 2022. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Well below best since returning from a long layoff this year, and was tailed off in plating company when tried in a visor at Cartmel (2m1f) last time; cheekpieces are refitted here; needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Won over 2m6f here in 2022 and ought to cope better than some of these if the ground softens but has not shown a great deal since returning from a long layoff this year; wore cheekpieces the last time; visor tried today. |
