11st 1lb |
Got back on the up with a third success of the season in 2m1f handicap at Carlisle 20 days ago; up another 4lb but this course winner is a likely player once more for his in-form yard. |

Ran no race last time at Musselburgh (soft) but had been in a good run of form and this drier surface should work in his favour. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Twice placed over hurdles this spring (2m1f, good to soft/good), with a heavy defeat on the Flat at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) in between; however, it's possible this shorter trip will be a better fit for him in this code. |

3rd 9 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
0-8 over hurdles and has a tendency to race too freely but ran by far his best race for Iain Jardine when very close second at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March, and remains well handicapped on older Irish form. |
8/1 |

8th 10 (9) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Ex-Irish; beaten 30l and more over hurdles in first four British starts but back to life for a short-head defeat 13 days ago (second run after wind surgery); now returns to Flat, in which sphere he's 1-9 having won a maiden in 2023 and been second in a 1m5f handicap last July; needs a second look. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Gained a first win for two years at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and backed it up with a good second of nine in 2m Hexham handicap 15 days ago when set a lot to do; this veteran is not taken lightly eased 1lb. |

Mainly in good form this year, gaining a well-deserved win at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good; blinkers on for fourth time); up 4lb; could go well again. |

Off the mark over hurdles at 12th attempt, with clearcut success at Perth (2m, good) last month; 8lb rise demands more from her here but something may have clicked. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Remains a maiden after 12 starts but she ran well when fourth at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last month and could get closer to the target today if staying straight (hung badly left on the run-in last time). |

Ended last season in excellent form, winning twice here (2m/2m2f) on good ground, and is probably still on a workable mark; big chance. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

Readily gained a first victory in over two years when capitalising on a reduced mark in 2m handicap here nine days ago; carries a 7lb penalty but can go well again. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Soundly beaten on first two starts for Gary Hanmer but his fifth of 11 at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much more encouraging; could have a say if able to build on that recent effort. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Sedgefield maiden winner on good ground; twice placed in soft-ground handicaps so he can cope with this mark and it's just a question of whether he can shrug off a disappointing latest effort. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Got off the mark in a maiden hurdle here in November (2m1f, good); decent efforts in handicaps since, last time finishing third over this trip at Catterick (soft). |
13/2 |

3rd 4 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in November and bounced back from lesser run on handicap debut there (2m4f, soft) to finish second at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day; this lightly raced 7yo could have more to offer but he can be headstrong and there remains a stamina query. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner; no easy task in a maiden last time and has run well in a couple of handicaps; could have a part to play if reacting positively to the new tongue-tie. |

5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles and the worst of those runs was the latest in a handicap at Carlisle; gets all the allowances as a 4yo filly but others probably have greater upside even if she is back to something like her best. |

Ended a run of rather disappointing efforts when scoring at Hexham last month (2m4f, good) and better than he showed last time as his saddle slipped on home turn; interesting. |

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

Took advantage of his reduced mark and some better ground to win off 3lb lower mark over 2m4f here last time (good); may fare even better up to this trip (3m Irish point winner). |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Very hard to fancy on what he's shown over fences/hurdles since last October; however, he's tumbled down the weights and the two best RPRs in his career have been achieved at Hexham, so no surprise to see a good run. |
