9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Heading in the right direction (RPRs 98, 104, and 115) since joining Stuart Edmunds, afforded the run of the race when an easy winner at Catterick (2m Class 4, soft; 9-2) latest; steps up in grade from an 8lb higher mark; a noteworthy candidate around this sharp track. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
A weak finisher in handicaps over 2m4f (good to soft) and 2m3f (soft) since trained in Britain but this free-going sound jumper shapes as though he will fare better now dropped to the shortest trip he's attempted; open to improvement. |

Took a step forward when seventh of 17 on heavy ground here in February; not as good on quicker ground in a bumper 16 days ago and ground may be against him again. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts. |
4/1 |

3rd 11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Bagged a four-timer (around 2m) over hurdles/fences last winter; not at her best of late though and finished a remote second in 2m Hexham seller three weeks ago on her final run for Jennie Candlish; more needed in refitted cheekpieces for her new handler. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Four wins over hurdles and fences in 2025 (about 2m2f; ground ranging from good to soft); not in the same form since returning from a layoff in January, including in a Stratford seller in March, but this is easier and she's a viable option. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Successful four times (around 2m) over hurdles and fences last season but she's proved a big disappointment in two starts since her reappearance fifth at Ludlow, coming in last over fences at Leicester 22 days ago. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Generally productive over hurdles but last few efforts leave a doubt over whether he'll be in top form returned to the Flat for first time since winning at Redcar (1m6f, soft) in November 2024. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has won five of his 17 races over hurdles, including at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) and off 7lb lower at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) this season; not at his best on last two runs but could bounce back. |
5/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten at Catterick last month but perhaps that run came too soon, just six days after he completed a double in good style at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft); third in this last year and he could be involved. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran well for a long way and seemed to have arrested his decline when fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month but was soundly beaten over that C&D 11 days ago and now has questions to answer again; drops back in trip with hood removed after one use. |
11/1 |
|
7th 8 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Chase winner in early 2024; generally disappointing since returning from long absence this year but ran well for a long way before weakening into fourth in C&D (good) contest won by De Deli Counter last month and has possibilities if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won over fences in 2024 (2m1f, soft) but soundly beaten in a hurdle race and two chases since returning from long absence in February; very unexposed over this sort of trip but needs to turn a corner. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
A dual 2m hurdles winner at Kelso last winter and back in good nick of late, finishing third of six at Perth (2m) nine days ago; not out of things off a 2lb lower mark. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Both British wins have come at Kelso, comfortably seeing off Joltin And Jiving there (2m, soft; 13-8 favourite) last November; slowly edging back down the weights (2lb above last winning mark); second-best to another Olly Murphy-trained runner over C&D (25-1, beaten 11l) latest. |
8/1 |

2nd 8 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Runner-up in the 2m4f mares' handicap here last April when rated 13lb lower; won twice over 2m at Kelso in the autumn (good/soft) but hasn't done as well since; bit to prove now. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this last year when 2lb higher (good); ran well in fifth of 15 at Catterick in January, when not quite seeing out the 2m3f trip, and he unseated mid-race there last time; could have a big part to play. |
4/1 |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
All three wins on good ground but some useful form on soft; first win for this yard at Sedgefield (2m1f; off 2lb higher) last March but he's needed some excuses since; should be suited by the return to a shorter trip but will need to be right on his game to win today. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 |
21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Beaten upwards of 12l in four starts since winning in a tongue-tie at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in March; stays this trip and he's back down to that winning mark, though; hood (reapplied last time) comes off again. |
