26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Exploited reduced mark under Benjamin Macey at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January and last month's heavy-ground third was perfectly respectable; also suited by much quicker surfaces; probably won't be far away. |

3rd 3 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Back on track off a reduced mark since returning from a break and responded well to Benjamin Macey's urgings to get back up at Wetherby (3m, soft); big run looks on the cards off 4lb higher. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Twice a soft-ground hurdle winner at up to 3m; lost his way last season and had slipped to a handy mark and was supported before taking a step back in the right direction at Haydock (3m, good) latest; likely player from the same mark. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has run in two bumpers and six hurdle races, easily his closest finishes coming in handicaps on last two occasions when fourth of 11 at this track (2m3f, soft) and second of nine at Wetherby (3m1f, soft; visored); stuck to his task very well last time and looks a leading player. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

0-5 over hurdles; still early days in handicaps and improved when 8l fourth at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) last month; step up in trip looks positive and he may be able to do better still; visor goes on. |

No wins in 11 but was close up over C&D (soft) in January and 3m3f perhaps stretched him next time; possible. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |

0-10 but he achieved his closest finish yet when third at Wetherby (3m, soft) recently; wears first-time cheekpieces and might not be far away. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Well held in two starts since a break but he is beginning to slip to a more workable mark now; if handling softer ground than of late, he may be able to get more competitive. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has won his last three races, all at Sedgefield, two 3m3f handicap hurdles and last time (second run with cheekpieces) a 3m2f handicap chase; these conditions fine and should go well again despite career-high mark (5lb higher than last win). |
5/1 |

1st 2 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Failed to threaten in 2024 on his two previous chase starts but he's in much better form now having won over hurdles here on his last two starts (3m3f, good to soft/soft); has shown promise on good ground; he's just 5lb higher than when easily making all four weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained) and can have a big say if transferring that form back to fences. |
5/4 |

1st 7 |
19th Feb 2026 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |

Got off the mark for the season when winning over C&D earlier this month (good to soft); only 3lb higher, but this a stronger race; cheekpieces now tried; contender. |

11st 2lb |
Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |
7/1 |

4th 11 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |

Only previous win was over 3m but off this mark; stopped the rot when beaten 5l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby and he's effective at this trip. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Disappointing at Wetherby (3m, soft) a fortnight ago but progressive previously with wins at Hexham (2m4f, good) and Musselburgh (3m, soft); could bounce back with a big performance in first-time cheekpieces. |
3/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

In better form on his last three starts, winning at Hexham (2m4f, good) and more recently Musselburgh (3m, soft), with a good effort at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) separating them; up another 4lb but may be able to eke out more and he's a contender. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Runner-up over C&D in November on soft (effective on good) but hasn't kicked on from there and not sure the latest Sedgefield run (3m3f) was that much of a step back in the right direction. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Runner-up at Wetherby (3m, soft) in November and ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) next time; of interest on those performances but two lacklustre efforts have followed. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |

Won Irish point in 2023; promising hurdle debut last spring when back from an absence but hard to fancy on more recent runs, pulled up in two of last three starts and remote (2m2f, good to soft) in between. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Irish point winner; runner-up on rules debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April but two heavy defeats (one over C&D) followed later in the spring and she has quite a bit to prove on this handicap debut. |

Popped up with 40-1 third of 16 at Wetherby (3m, soft) in December; not ruled out each-way but pulled up back at Wetherby (3m, soft) and she's now 0-11; others arrive with less to prove. |
