4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won Hexham bumper (good to soft) on rules debut last June and was the only one to give a highly promising rival any sort of race before last-flight fall on 2m1f course hurdle debut (soft) in December; nowhere near that level twice since (23l fifth to Las Canals at Sedgefield latterly) but could come into his own in handicaps; hooded for the first time now stepping up in trip; worth a look in the betting. |

Won Hexham bumper (good to soft) on rules debut last June and was the only one to give highly promising rival any sort of race before last-flight fall on hurdling debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in December; well beaten when back at Carlisle for a good race last month but positives can still be drawn from that performance, and he has each-way claims at least here. |

Won point-to-point bumper last April (2m, good) and made it 2-2 in bumper at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in June; he was the only one to give the heavily odds-on favourite any sort of a race when falling at the final flight over C&D (soft) on hurdle debut; could be involved. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
12st 5lb |
Finished strongly to force a dead heat with Ryebridge over C&D (good to soft) on his handicap hurdle debut 13 days ago; wore cheekpieces on that occasion but they are now replaced by the visor he wore regularly during his Flat career; retains handicapping scope on his useful form in that sphere. |

Has made the frame in two races at Wetherby (2m) since switched to this code; opening hurdles mark is very attractive judged on best Flat form; possibilities. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
3lb lower than when winning at York (1m2f, soft) a year ago and very likely to have his optimum conditions, but a leap of faith is required following two poor efforts since returning from 308 days off last month. |

11st 0lb |
The dead-heat victory and (off today's mark) a close fourth in 2m3f Carlisle 0-110s on his last two outings rate personal best efforts; more needed again up in class, and didn't convince over 3m in Irish points. |
8/1 |

11st 11lb |
Strong in the market and showed improved form when sharing the spoils with the reopposing Three Brothers in a C&D handicap (good to soft) 13 days ago; in the right hands to keep on improving. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
The form he showed last summer/autumn has been franked by the winners since; faded into fourth, seeming in need of the run, last month on handicap debut and return from break; worth another chance. |

11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

His last win was over C&D in late 2024 but 0-11 in the meantime and hasn't delivered an effort of note this campaign. |

He's dropped to a mark 9lb lower than when winning at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December 2024 but he's hard to fancy on this season's evidence. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who completed the set in a 2m3f Wetherby handicap chase (good to soft) last winter; not seen since a below-par third over fences at Market Rasen last April; lower mark back hurdling but got to be a chance she'll need this after nearly a year off. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

In the frame five consecutive times since switched to chasing this year, most notably when winning by 18l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in January; should also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; likely contender again. |
