1st 4 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Musselburgh maiden hurdle winner (2m4f, soft) who bounced back from being pulled up in a Grade 2 at Kelso when a respectable fourth of nine on handicap debut at Newbury (2m3f, good to soft) last month; it's possible this drop back in trip will be a positive and he's a key player. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won maiden at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in December and good second at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) next time; pulled up at Kelso three weeks ago but he was 28-1 in that Grade 2 and retains some interest for this handicap debut. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won four-runner maiden at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in December on second hurdle start and solid second to Kosac d'Oudairies at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last time; however, he's down today's pecking order on form. |

2nd 2 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Course bumper winner (good to soft) who followed up on hurdle debut over C&D (good) last October; the return to Hexham and drop back in trip could suit following two heavy defeats over 2m5f/2m6f, but a couple of the other previous winners have shown stronger form. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Unexposed 5yo; runner-up in a point and then built on rules debut when readily winning bumper here in March (good to soft) by 6l; should make a jumper and has obvious claims on hurdling debut. |

25th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

travelled strongly, in touch with leaders, headway and went second 8f out, led over 2f out, shaken up and kept on well inside final furlong, readily |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner (good to soft) who had contested some warm races over hurdles prior to winning a big-field maiden at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month with something to spare; Alan King has a 42% strike-rate at Hexham; leading claims under a 7lb penalty. |
5/4 |
|
1st 2 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper winner whose hurdles form comprises a good third in useful race at Newbury (2m, good) flanked by less solid efforts in the last two runnings of the Dovecote at Kempton; major contender on bare figures back down in class. |
5/2 |
|
9th 3 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten 24l into fourth in this race 12 months ago, and he raced too freely when 13l third of eight at Newbury in December on first outing since; may not be fully exposed but has something to find on the figures. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
!6-race maiden; two fair runs at Wetherby in December (2m3f, soft); well beaten since (tried over hurdles last time); no easy task from 5lb out of the handicap. |
33/1 |

6th 10 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

7yo who is a longstanding maiden and it will be a surprise if he gets anywhere close to getting off the mark today. |

5th 6 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-14 under rules and 0-2 in points but returned from break with two respectable runs at Wetherby (both 2m3f, soft) in December and should be okay on this right-handed track; could have a say. |

11st 2lb |
Tailed off at big odds in both bumpers and pulled up when 300-1 on recent hurdle debut here (2m4f, soft); a tongue-tie goes on. |
