3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Comes into this in good form having won a novice hurdle over 2m4f on good ground at Newcastle in April and on chase debut at Southwell 13 days ago; still feasibly treated; contender. |
9/4 |

1st 3 |
11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual Flat winner in Denmark and now a dual winner over hurdles after narrowly taking a small-field novice at Newcastle last month (2m4f, good); could be on a fair mark for this chasing debut but he'll need to take to fences. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham and nearly won again at Kelso ten days ago when headed on the run-in; same mark. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham last year, latest in August; close third over same C&D last time and worth considering. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |

3rd 2 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has taken well to fences, winning by 11l here on his chase debut (good) before finishing a clear second (again over C&D) last time; went up 9lb for his win and another 4lb for latest run but is one with a chance. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 7 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Returned from break with career-best performance this month, drawing clear to win by 11l over C&D (good) on chasing debut; 9lb higher in a higher-grade race today but could easily have more to offer over fences. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two in a row over hurdles in October (2m5f/2m4f, good; including here) and ran pretty well when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November; unsuited by soft ground when below par at Musselburgh in December; could have a part to play if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Newcastle in October and not disgraced when sixth here last time; could go well but others in better form. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newcastle in October (2m4f, good) but had been pulled up on previous start and was pulled up on only start since (good to soft); this ground should suit better but he's not easy to work out. |
7/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won three times over fences for Matt Sheppard; yet to score for present yard, but two fair runs when in the frame at Sedgefield in September (2m/2m3f, good); never travelling when pulled up on same track last time (3m5f); a possible. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won over C&D off a 6lb higher mark in September (good); has not fared quite as well since, although more encouraging run when 13l third of seven over 2m1f here last time (good); step back up in trip will suit. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won over 2m5f here following a 163-day break last September (good) but rather disappointing since; on a good mark now, but a bit to prove. |
14/1 |
