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. |

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. |

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. |

Unexposed; showed improved form on handicap debut when second at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good); further progress likely; a possible. |

2nd 6 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Improvement needed based on what he's shown in two bumpers and three maiden hurdles but there's potential in his pedigree and he's travelled from Devon to make his handicap debut; interesting, especially if well backed. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in C&D maiden (good) in October; disappointing in handicap at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has had a break since and is not written off back here. |
9/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
A fairly useful ex-Irish maiden hurdler for Willie Mullins; yet to match that form for her current yard, including when second in 2m1f Cartmel novice hurdle in June having travelled best for a long way; she holds very good form claims nonetheless. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in two handicaps at Catterick (1m7f/2m3f, good/soft) in January before respectable third in claimer there (1m7f, good); continues to edge down weights and might not be far away; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Down the field when 9-2 for last month's handicap hurdle debut over 2m4f at Ayr; however, trainer's representative reported he may have been unsuited by the soft, heavy in places ground; showed promise in three juvenile hurdles towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft) and this 4yo retains potential back down in trip and back on better ground. |
4/1 |
|
9th 11 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
0-9 on the Flat but he's shown promise on all three hurdle starts and has potential off his opening mark judged on his close second at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; receives handy 4yo allowance and he could have a big part to play if seeing out this new trip. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-French mare; fortunate to win small-field Catterick novice (1m7f, good) for Paula Smith on British debut in March 2025 and soundly beaten in all five subsequent handicaps, the last four times for new stable this year; drops back in trip (from 2m4f). |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored twice (at up to 2m3f) in early 2025 but she's shown little after 12 months off in a pair of handicaps at Catterick and Sedgefield for her current yard this year; others appeal more. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Went close to shedding the maiden tag when runner-up over 2m4f here and backed that up with another solid second over C&D 17 days ago; only 1lb higher and the booking of William Maggs catches the eye, so he looks a leading contender. |
3/1 |

2nd 15 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish; unexposed hurdler who put up a career best when runner-up in a 2m4f handicap here last time (good); this longer trip should suit; a possible. |
12/1 |

2nd 9 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
One bit of ability (in cheekpieces) from four starts in Ireland; another in the first (2m4f, soft) of two handicap runs for this stable, which still demands big overall improvement but cheekpieces are now restored. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Productive autumn included a Carlisle hurdles win (2m1f, good) off 4lb lower; two flops either side of a late fall since March, however, and doesn't enter this chasing debut in the same good heart as some. |
12/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Landed his second win over hurdles on his reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in October and ran well on his next three starts; pulled up at Haydock last month but was in the process of running a good race when falling two out at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) 16 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); decent ground looks to be the key and he should run well. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won on reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in October and ran well in defeat on next three starts (about 2m, good/good to soft); pulled up at Haydock only a fortnight ago, when more was amiss than just the 2m3f trip, but he's a player if bouncing back from that blip; cheekpieces go on. |
