17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Beat Lance Les Des and Bertie's Ballet off 4lb lower at Kelso in February (2m, heavy) and he was confidently ridden out the back when second over C&D last time (soft), where a late mistake didn't help; strong suspicion that he more to offer and the yard, also represented by Caballo De Guerra, won this with a novice two years ago. |
9/1 |

2nd 2 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has taken well to hurdles, recording his second win at Kelso (2m, heavy) on handicap debut last month with more in hand than the official margin suggests; should be hard to beat despite a 4lb rise. |
2/1 |

1st 7 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won over C&D (soft) in November on second hurdle start and showed improved form when fourth under a penalty in a warm novice at Ayr (2m, heavy); this unexposed 6yo could be on a workable mark on his handicap debut. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed 10yo whose powers would appear to be on the wane judged on this season's performances; opposable. |
33/1 |

11th 6 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
10yo whose mark continues to fall and he took a step back in the right direction when third of seven at Ayr a fortnight ago; it's possible he'll be able to build on that latest run but he was beaten just over 7l and certainly needs a bigger performance this afternoon. |
14/1 |

3rd 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Boasts two wins around here, one over this distance, but has been below his best this term and was pulled up at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month in race won by Triple Crown Ted; hard to fancy. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has six wins on the Flat but his last of four successes over hurdles came four years ago; continues to drop in the weights without looking likely to take advantage. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Remains capable at the age of 10 (won on the Flat in October) but it's been hard work back over hurdles, albeit in a pair of Class 2 handicaps; looks vulnerable. |
14/1 |

4 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Useful dual-purpose performer in his youth; had a long spell on the sidelines prior to his return in February and he's struggled on the Flat and over hurdles this year; down in the weights and he was prominent in the betting last time so he can't be dismissed. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 165y |
11st 3lb |
Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January off 3lb lower; weak in the market for Ayr run last time, weakening quickly to finish last of six finishers; in the mix at his best. |
9/2 |

6th 6 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has won three times, including over C&D two years ago when trained by current handler, who has taken over once more after eight starts for Gary McGill; returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January and this Irish-trained challenger should be in the firing line. |

Winning hurdler/chaser when trained in Ireland; beaten 29l and 34l on both hurdle starts for current yard; best watched. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Useful at his peak in Ireland but soundly beaten on debut for this stable at Haydock just before Christmas; quickly dropped 6lb but needs a big leap forward. |
