24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Looked better than ever when third in the Morebattle Hurdle here in February and posted a good third on the Flat at Musselburgh last month; must enter calculations in refitted cheekpieces. |

3rd 1 (11) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won this prize in 2023 and had a fruitful Flat/hurdles campaign last winter before his close fourth in this; while he did not make an impact in either of his Flat runs this winter, latest hurdles form was his best in that sphere; 8lb lower than the 2025 renewal and a case can certainly be made. |

3rd 10 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Runner-up here (2m, soft) last February and back on song when third at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) four weeks ago; he's lightly raced over hurdles and is on an attractive mark judged on his very useful Flat form, but he needs to raise his game if he's to take this. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Six-time Flat winner at up to 1m4f; underwent breathing operation before going hurdling for current yard and has now had another, having underperformed in handicap on this course in September; new headgear combination today. |

8th 2 |
18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won five Flat races at up to 1m4f for the Johnstons (latest win for Anthony Charlton was on snow); had wind surgery before running two creditable races over hurdles this summer, last time finishing third in a maiden at Perth (2m, good; pulled quite hard); interesting on handicap debut. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Multiple Flat winner at up to 12.5f (stays 1m6f; RPR 90); not without support when 15-2 on his hurdling debut at Cartmel (2m1f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month, when unable to get in a serious blow; no surprise if he shows improvement. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Last won in August 2024; placed in three of eight starts last term and it was a hot race in which she was well beaten at York (40-1) on 2026 return; 15lb below peak mark but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly. |
40/1 |

11th 14 (13) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Twice runner-up over 2m from five visits here, plus fourth of 20 in this race in 2024; ran creditably over 1m4f on 2025 return and is 11lb lower for this reappearance, but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly. |
20/1 |

3rd 3 (5) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
First and second in two visits here (1m6f, soft/good to soft); patchy form so far this year and ideally would prefer further, but she has dropped 5lb lower than when last successful; respected. |

9th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won twice here (including over C&D); three places behind Cosmic Soul when fifth of eight over C&D (good) last month; no improvement with blinkers reinstated (retained) at Nottingham 13 days ago; needs to show improvement. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Catterick regular who was fifth of eight runners there 16 days ago when behind Morandi Second; that race wasn't run to suit and his previous effort there was better; the return of blinkers is no bad thing. |

2nd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |

took keen hold, prominent, led after 4f, pushed along over 2f out, ridden and headed over 1f out, soon lost position, weakened quickly inside final furlong |
10/1 |

8th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Infrequent winner who was bought for 3,000gns in October; pulled hard and reportedly hung badly left-handed when tailed off on stable debut last month (1m4f, soft); best watched. |
