20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home over C&D (good) last month and has now won three of his last four; probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 5lb rise but must be considered in current mood. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Exposed multiple winner; he would have found the ground too soft when beaten by King Sacre at Hexham and then dug deep to win at Kelso (2m, good; 5lb lower); entitled to have some say. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed 14-race maiden over hurdles (placed on seven occasions) who has some fair form to his credit, including when second in a C&D handicap last month (good); likely to find a couple too good. |

11st 6lb |
Won over C&D (Class 5, good; same mark) last July; has mixed hurdling with Flat racing this year and wasn't beaten far when third over C&D (good; 7-1, Just Dottie fifth) 25 days ago; highly likely to give his running, even though he isn't a frequent winner. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Good fourth at Musselburgh in March but tailed off in his last run over hurdles and down the field on the Flat last week; others look more likely. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |

0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |

Sole win from 22 starts came at Cork in April 2023; went very close over hurdles here in March and was second of ten behind an improving filly at Ayr (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; can go well after 1lb nudge. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four C&D wins, the most recent when justifying favouritism from 2lb higher in May 2025; Flat winner since (last September); reportedly never travelling when only fifth of 12 (Ravenscraig Castle third) here on latest start. |
9/2 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

4th 6 (6) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Four wins over hurdles; had few chances on the Flat but she won at Ayr in September (1m5f, soft) and showed better form when third over 1m7f 11 days later; still has some potential in this sphere and a hurdle run last month should have sharpened her up; might need more of a stamina test than this though. |

Safely held when sixth over C&D (good) on both recent outings and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts; not written off just yet but clearly needs to take a step forward. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden; no real improvement for wind surgery, beaten 13.5l over C&D latest; in good hands but still has plenty of work to do to reverse placings with Ravenscraig Castle (third) and Just Dottie (fifth); best to focus elsewhere. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 2-6 over hurdles, though neither win came in a handicap; only one effort of note in five runs over fences and blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces; the stable probably has brighter prospects with Cosmic Soul. |
25/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Yet to score in this sphere but has made the frame on both starts since fitted with blinkers, albeit remote when third of six in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase 36 days ago; possibilities. |

3rd 6 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two novice hurdle wins last term (2m/2m4f, good) and he returned to form in first-time blinkers when going close here (2m3f, soft) last month on third chase start; kept on well last time so this step up in trip is worth a go; could have a part to play if the blinkers maintain their effect. |

Runner-up in the two handicaps he has completed and could have done with a truer pace when chasing home the market leader over 2m4f here last time; he's highly likely to get one here and he's one to consider. |
9/1 |

2nd 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Patiently ridden and bustled up the winner (Camarrate) at Newcastle (2m4f, good; from 2lb lower) on penultimate start; pulled up over C&D subsequently; still low mileage, so isn't a forlorn hope if bouncing back from that blip. |
12/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Improved form when 16-1 runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good) 12 days ago on second handicap start; needs to back up that latest performance but he's unexposed on good ground and drying conditions would aid his cause. |

His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb. |

Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |
