4th 1 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easily made all in first-time visor (retained since) at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) last month and again ran well when fourth of five at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) since; looked at home over 3m6f earlier in the season; chance. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Course scorer who resumed winning ways (in a first-time visor) in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase 20 days ago, making all and pulling right away from last as runner-up tired badly; up just 4lb here so big shout with headgear again sported. |

1st 1 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
He's run well in defeat on his last two starts, finishing fourth of nine at Newcastle (3m6f, good to soft) in November and second of 14 at Ayr (3m, soft) last time; he may well be in the mix in a first-time visor. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Ayr (3m, soft) four weeks ago; he's also effective on good to soft ground and a 4lb rise won't necessarily beat him, but he's inconsistent and has a good record at Ayr, so it's questionable whether he'll produce another good performance today. |
9/2 |

1st 4 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Course winner who comes here in decent nick, though he finished tired when second of seven in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase three weeks ago; he can race off a 2lb lower mark here so must still enter calculations. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Started off for James Moffatt with two good-ground wins in May, the latter over C&D; ran as though something was amiss here three weeks ago but could still have more improvement to come for new stable if quickly back on song; cheekpieces (worn twice in 2024) are given another whirl. |
5/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
2-2 since joining James Moffatt, latest win over C&D last month (good); up another 7lb (15lb rise in total) but should go well again. |
5/2 |

1st 9 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Winning pointer on soft/heavy; off the mark on chase debut at Ayr in January (3m, heavy) but pulled up at Kelso last time; could go well but drier ground a slight concern. |
11/2 |

2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner who improved upon his hurdle form to win by nearly 3l on last month's chase debut at Ayr (3m, heavy); this lightly raced 7yo could have plenty more to offer over fences and is firmly in calculations up 6lb. |
13/8 |

21st Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won an Irish point last February (3m, soft to heavy) and subsequently bought for £160,000; send off favourite when fourth at Wetherby on hurdles debut (2m, soft); should improve for this marked step up in trip. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Former pointer/hunter chaser who won a Sedgefield handicap (3m2f, good to soft) off 2lb higher for Ruth Jefferson in January; not quite in same form on first four starts for new stable and fell on latest outing a week ago but it's difficult to put a line through him. |
4/1 |

5 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Encouraging first two efforts for this stable before a lesser run prompted wind surgery; got back on track to some extent at Bangor (3m, good) last month and, while more is needed, he's likely to have a say. |
7/2 |
|
5th 1 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not at best when third of four in first-time blinkers (retained) last month but started off for Nick Scholfield with two good efforts in cheekpieces (one over C&D) and was recently given a wind op; big player if quickly back on song. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Scored over fences in December 2024 but pulled up in that sphere in three consecutive races this year; resumed over hurdles last month with two solid efforts when third twice at this track, once over today's distance in a visor (retained); races prominently but needs his natural enthusiasm to be harnessed. |

5th 8 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
After three successive pull-ups over fences he got back on track when close up in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Monday when in a first-time visor; if turned out again he'd command a level of respect. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-20 over fences and although he finished second here (4m) in March, he has run below that since at Carlisle and back over hurdles at Perth; requires an extreme test to be seen at his best. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both hurdle wins came over 3m/3m1f on soft back in 2022; fair second in a 4m h'cap chase at Hexham last month (soft), but not so good last time. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on second (no threat to winner) at Hexham (4m, soft) last month and is also well suited by this track but is far too inconsistent to rely upon and would appeal more on soft/heavy ground. |
9/1 |
