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. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Still searching for the breakthrough (0-9) and it is notable that he has undergone various courses of wind surgery; was already beaten when falling at Catterick (2m4f, soft) latest; difficult to consider. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
He's popped up with the odd good run, such as when a close third at Kelso (3m, good) last May, and he can't be ruled out; however, following wind surgery he was tailed off at Sedgefield in September and has had another wind operation since; unproven on soft ground and needs to bounce back. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Seven-race maiden; his second run after wind surgery when a close third over 3m at Kelso (good) and now returns from another wind operation; hard to dismiss. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Had dropped to a good mark and finally exploited it with a head success at Hereford (3m1f, good); that was a weak race but he's only 2lb higher and should give some less exposed rivals plenty to think about. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Sole hurdles win came off 15lb higher mark but he's been struggling for a while and finished last of four at Fakenham last time after four months off; needs a revival. |

Potentially well handicapped but was struggling for form when last seen and has been off since early September. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time hurdle winner but he generally struggled over fences in the autumn and was tailed off back in this sphere at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) last month; needs to get back on track but he's 6b lower than for his last win and he's 3-3 over C&D. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won four times over hurdles at up to 3m, all on good/good to soft, latest at Kelso in May (3m, good); not as good over fences so far, having pulled up on first occasion and finished 33l behind runner-up Sir Carnegie at Sedgefield last time (3m2f, good to firm); visor replaces cheekpieces; should improve. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Doubled his hurdle tally over nearly 3m at Hexham this month and that was on the back of good runs in defeat; raised 6lb but has placed form under the returning Rebekah Duffy who claims 7lb. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

1-16 over hurdles (sole win was over C&D in November); creditable second to Dillarchie over 3m3f at Sedgefield on last two starts; suited by good ground; each-way chance. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came from off the pace to win over C&D (good to soft) in April and posted another good effort behind Luminaries at Kelso (3m, good) the following month, but didn't fire when last in action and others in this line-up have more pressing claims. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Came from off the pace to win under Emma Brown at Perth (3m, good to soft) in April and posted another good effort at Kelso (3m, good) last month; should also be suited by this stiff 2m4f; enters calculations. |
8/1 |

25th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 100y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
None too consistent but hasn't had many chances at 3m, over which he came from off the pace to collect at Perth a month ago (good to soft); fair chance off 5lb higher if in the same mood; a different 7lb claimer rode last time. |
