22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Chasing on last five starts has not really worked out; Taunton (2m3f) last February and Warwick (2m) last March saw him register a double over hurdles and he's back to his last winning mark for today's switch in codes but, after three non-completions at about 3m over fences, stamina also has to be proved. |

Mixed results (5FP4) since switched to chasing but is now only 1lb above last winning hurdles mark and Edward Vaughan takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities, provided he stays returned to 3m. |

Just ahead of Gris Majeur when falling at third-last fence at Taunton (2m7f, good to firm) in November, his second chase, but struggled on next outing; others in this line-up look much less risky. |

11st 1lb |
2-2 in handicaps, both of those wins coming at Perth (2m4f, good/good to soft); up 10lb since the latest success last month and takes on classier opposition today but he did it nicely and is clearly progressive. |

Low-mileage 5yo who fended off Summergrounds to make winning handicap debut over C&D (2m4f, good) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; went up 6lb for that narrow success but further progress is possible. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Front-runner who won three novice hurdles in a row at Carlisle in spring 2025; that hasn't been a springboard to future success and he's been absent since February but he's 3lb lower than when third in this last year (good to soft) and that also came after some time off; not ruled out each-way. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner; won three novice hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f/2m3f, good to soft/good) last spring; placed in three of his five handicaps since but the last two instances were over just 2m1f and 2m, so this new trip asks a big question; he's also 5lb out of the handicap. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |

Won three novice hurdles in a row here (2m1f-2m3f, good to soft/good) in the spring, including under Dominic Hislop, and he returned from a break to finish third in a handicap at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; could build on that latest performance now back here; firmly in calculations. |

Took step back in right direction when respectable fourth at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 1lb below his last winning mark but still needs to build upon that recent effort here. |

11st 12lb |
Won good-ground bumper here a year ago and got off the mark over hurdles in Ayr novice (2m4f, soft) in March; absent since fourth in C&D (good) handicap in May but still has low mileage; contender if fully tuned up. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Regressive 7yo who had a disappointing campaign last season; returns from four-month break on a dangerous mark but was soundly beaten on both previous starts here and has quite a bit to prove. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Went very close over hurdles here (3m, soft) last October and progressive switched to fences subsequently, winning at Wetherby (3m, soft) in February before a good third in a competitive novice handicap at Ayr (3m, heavy); this 6yo is open to further improvement and is one to consider. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |

Improved form to get off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Wetherby (3m, soft) in February; hit with a 7lb rise but the short-head runner-up Diamond Dealer went one better next time and this 6yo is in good hands to continue to progress; respected. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up in this last year (good to soft) and he arrives in pretty good heart having made the frame over C&D (good) on his last two outings; this 10yo has an each-way shout once more. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up in this last year, and again chased home Moonbow the following month; close fourth to Lets Mingle over C&D five weeks ago; is 2lb better off with that reopposing rival, and the 10lb claimer Ella McGarry takes over in the saddle; merits respect. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Hasn't had that much racing for a 10yo; enjoys this ground and has a solid record over C&D, so one to consider as he ran quite well last time at Bangor in a higher grade (finished last but weakened only late on). |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won two in a row over hurdles here in the summer (2m/2m4f, good) and respectable efforts here on both starts last month (2m4f/2m, good); has won on soft ground; this 7yo might not be far away if he takes to fences. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won for the third time at this track, getting the better of Annie Agnew over 2m4f (good; 7-2 favourite) on penultimate start; however, had no answers to that reopposing rival (on revised terms) back here latest; dropping back to 2m is no real concern; highest on the shortlist. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

11st 9lb |
Went very close when upped to 3m at Musselburgh (good to soft) in December; also effective on soft ground; only fourth of eight at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) since and could do with settling better but not ruled out. |

Gained sole win at Musselburgh (2m4f) and nearly doubled her tally, beaten a whisker by Reflection Of You having edged left, in C&D event (good to soft; first 3m attempt) latest start; in the mix, especially if keeping a straighter line. |

Runner-up three consecutive times here (2m-2m4f, good) in the spring; two lesser efforts followed but he can pose a threat off this mark if back on song after 76-day break. |

10st 8lb |
Placed off 3lb higher at Ayr (3m, heavy) last December but absent since two lesser efforts later that month (wore cheekpices last time) and yet to add to his Irish maiden win in 2021; had wind operation in June. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Unable to justify prominence in the betting when well beaten at Kelso (2m5f, good) this month and remains without a win since 2021; others have much more appealing profiles. |
