24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
No immediate improvement for a switch to handicap company when fourth of nine over 2m5f at Haydock (good to soft) seven weeks ago but it's still early days for a good stable with a very strong Perth record. |
5/1 |

4th 2 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not seen since struggling in good-quality Newbury maiden in November but significant positives can be drawn from his first two hurdle runs (both 2m); up in trip for this handicap debut and open to improvement. |
5/1 |

8th 3 |
17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner (yielding) who bettered his disappointing bumper debut when third of six at Taunton (heavy) in February; probably needs to improve again to make a winning hurdle debut but riding arrangements suggest he's the pick of Olly Murphy's four runners. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Barely had to be nudged out to make a winning start to his handicap career at Exeter (2m2f, good) last Friday; the extra yardage here should help if anything and he'll take a bit of stopping under a 7lb penalty if showing up in a similar mood. |
13/8 |

1st 4 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed in a good-ground bumper on debut last year; not devoid of promise in three starts over hurdles; longer trip at this stiff track should help to bring his stamina into play, from what looks a fair mark on handicap debut; interesting. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Showed clear promise in both bumpers and on both hurdling starts, most recently when well-held third at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; needs to improve to threaten the principals here, though. |

10st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden over hurdles but produced his best effort yet when third at Perth (2m4f, good) latest; 1lb lower now and he's one to consider if able to back that up. |
13/2 |

3rd 11 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Modest maiden hurdler; has offered little in his three runs this term, weakening into a well-held seventh back from a break at Sedgefield 23 days ago. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |
9/2 |

4th 1 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Easily best effort in four maiden/novice hurdles last season when second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); did manage back-to-back wins over 2m on the Flat at Catterick last May but more recent AW Flat efforts have been no more than respectable. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes. |
12/1 |

6th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February, latterly to The Coffey Boy; does need to shrug off two lesser runs since, though. |
11/1 |

6th 5 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made all and held on narrowly from Velvet Vulcan in conditional jockeys' race at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in February; not in the same form when fifth over 2m back at Ayr since but the return to 2m4f may see him in a better light. |
9/1 |

5th 4 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made all and held on narrowly from Velvet Vulcan in conditional jockeys' race at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last time, opening his rules account; raised 4lb but William Maggs, who keeps the ride, can use his 5lb claim this time; open to further progress in any case and looks likely to be as effective back down in distance; respected. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Remains winless and he has been well below form in handicaps at Perth (2m4f) and Hexham (2m) this spring since undergoing wind surgery; others appeal more. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ordinary form in bumpers; has improved since going hurdling, best run when third in a Carlisle novice in October (2m1f, good); bit disappointing this year, including on handicap debut on first run after a second wind op last time (2m4f, good); bit to prove now. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Disappointing in maiden hurdles on his last two outings but showed a bit of promise in similar races prior to that and has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut; also refitted with the tongue-tie he wore in bumpers. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-8 over hurdles; has a very mixed record and is sometimes a clumsy jumper but made a bold bid from the front when third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) two runs ago and can't be ruled out; tongue tied for first time. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Improved third in 2m1f Carlisle novice (soft) in February; well treated on that form but hasn't managed to reproduce it in two subsequent handicaps, although he probably pressed for home too far out when third back at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in refitted cheekpieces (retained) three weeks ago; remains one who could click from a lowly mark. |
9/1 |

3rd 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Outran 150-1 odds when placed in novice hurdle here (2m1f, soft) last month, his fifth hurdling start, but jumped poorly and was safely held in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good) two days later; effectively 7lb higher today and comes with risk; cheekpieces refitted. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on 3m course handicap debut last June (final start for Gary Rutherford) and fared little better for new yard at Ayr (3m again) seven months later; hopes are pinned on a shorter trip helping after a further 101 days off. |
