13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Poor form in bumpers and over hurdles, and his jumping wasn't great when third on recent chase debut at Sedgefield (2m, good); from out of the handicap he's 4lb higher than last time but there was some promise in that performance and he's open to further improvement if finding greater fluency. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Only poor form shown in his five runs over hurdles, tried in a hood when pulled up at Newcastle (2m4f) 18 days ago; goes chasing with tongue tie added and lots to prove. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-6; nothing worthwhile to report; left in remote fourth (beaten 32l) over 2m1f here (33-1) three weeks ago; could strip fitter on second run since wind surgery but the added hood will need to prove transformational. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Improved to cause 40-1 shock over C&D (good to soft) on stable debut in June; pulled up on next outing but steadied the ship with very respectable handicap run here in August and has big role to play today. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made a winning start for his current handler in novice over C&D but she was pulled up in similar company at Cartmel later in June; she needs to get back on track. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up on both hurdling starts for Nicky Richards this spring, but displayed a huge jolt of improvement to cause a 40-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft); likely contender under penalty. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Point runner-up who has run pretty well in defeat on his first two handicap starts (2m4f/2m5f, soft/good to soft); drops back down in grade today and he's high on the list. |
11/4 |

5th 15 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Good-ground point runner-up who has improved with each of his four runs under rules and was an encouraging fourth on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January; there's every chance he'll continue to progress; chance. |
10/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up in his final Irish point and he showed progressive form in three novice hurdles in the autumn; was only beaten around 4l at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last time and he should have more to offer on this switch to handicapping; one to keep an eye on. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Point/novice hurdle winner; his second to Jordans Cross on chase debut at Aintree (2m, good) reads really well and mistakes haven't helped his cause in racking up another three seconds; has the ability to win off this mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Point/novice hurdle winner; his second to Jordans Cross on chase debut at Aintree (2m, good) reads really well and, although yet to build on that, he's delivered another couple of solid efforts (heavy ground perhaps not ideal latest when behind The Grafter); can surely win a race off this mark and stable has landed the past two renewals of this. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Point/novice hurdle winner; excellent chase debut when second to useful sort at Aintree in October (2m, good); not quite as good last time; interesting with cheekpieces now tried. |

Went close in second attempt in points but well beaten at Hexham on the switch to rules; the weakest contender. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Half-brother to useful staying hurdler Ask Ben; close second of five in good-ground maiden point in Wales in May; makes rules debut here. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Record of 421 in bumpers, readily beating sole rival at Sedgefield the final time; placed in Hexham novice hurdle (2m) since; one of two with solid claims. |
2/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Made the frame in his first two bumpers before readily winning Sedgefield match race (also on good ground; first-time tongue-tie) last month; his form isn't anything to go wild about but, nevertheless, he has each-way claims at least on this hurdling debut. |
7/2 |

1st 2 |
4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Fourth of 12 at Bangor and second of ten at Worcester, both on good ground; his form might be that bit better than that of his sole rival and he's receiving weight; tongue-tie added. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Displayed huge improvement when 80-1 second in C&D (good) novice in October, her third start over hurdles; raced too freely and was pulled up after weakening quickly in handicap here (2m4f, good to soft) the following month but significant positives can sill be taken from that run; drops back in trip today, having had wind surgery; a possible if fully tuned up. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Soundly beaten at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November in her sole handicap and same story in Hexham novice (2m, heavy) in December; this lightly raced 5yo is in good hands and today's trip, on better ground than last time, could prove to be a good fit; not discounted. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Not disgraced on bumper debut last December and had excuses for both subsequent hurdling defeats but returns from seven-month absence here and stable has much more obvious chance with Spadestep. |

26th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

prominent on outer, took keen hold early, lost ground from 4th, tailed off after 4 out, pulled up before last |
