20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Former pointer/hunter chaser who won a Sedgefield handicap (3m2f, good to soft) off 2lb higher for Ruth Jefferson in January; not quite in same form on first four starts for new stable and fell on latest outing a week ago but it's difficult to put a line through him. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Encouraging first two efforts for this stable before a lesser run prompted wind surgery; got back on track to some extent at Bangor (3m, good) last month and, while more is needed, he's likely to have a say. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not at best when third of four in first-time blinkers (retained) last month but started off for Nick Scholfield with two good efforts in cheekpieces (one over C&D) and was recently given a wind op; big player if quickly back on song. |

Five-time point winner, latest at Overton last month (3m, good); creditable second in maiden hunter chase over C&D last April only previous rules run; interesting. |

11st 12lb |
Won twice in points, the latest in a Mixed Open at Overton (3m, good; 3-1) in March; tailed off in the Buccleuch Cup at Kelso (3m, good; 9-1) recently, so tough to envisage him turning the tables on runner-up Phantoms Cave; cheekpieces fitted. |

Pulled up behind Whatudoing three runs back but he's only a 6yo and has raised his game since then; had Deerstalker back in fourth when winning a recent point. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual point winner; gave good account when fourth (just behind Theoldboggroad) in this race a year ago but has not been at his best in points this season and needs help from the new cheekpieces. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

Ran poorly in this race a year ago but led close home to win soft-ground point at Friars Haugh in February and returned to racing under rules with very respectable fourth in Buccleuch Cup at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month. |

Won a maiden point in February last year (3m, soft) and then showed fair form in a couple of hunter chases; creditable third in a restricted point last month (3m, good to soft); improvement needed. |

Well behind Slaney Opera when that one fell at Alnwick in February but he pushed the same horse close last month and now goes in cheekpieces; should be competitive. |

11st 12lb |
Last of four (beaten 26l) in this last year; arrives in better form this year, with back-to-back point wins at Overton (3m); however, there wasn't much depth to his latest win, with his main market rival departing at the first fence. |

Fair hurdler/chaser when with Ben Pauling and a good-ground point winner for new connections this year; unseated rider at sixth fence on last month's hunter chase debut but was clear second in open point at Witton Castle (good to firm) nine days ago and has a fighting chance in this. |
