26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
He's run with credit this season on two of his three starts since returning from a long absence, returning to form when third of seven at Kelso (2m6f, good to soft) in December; his novice hurdle wins came on heavy ground and he could have more to offer now back up in trip; on the shortlist. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
4-10 under rules, posting a personal best when slamming four rivals in novice hurdle at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in March 2024; in much deeper when down the field in Grade 1 novice at Aintree the following month, and has not been seen since; retains potential and will probably stay 3m, so he's quite an interesting candidate despite a lengthy absence. |

Promise in bumpers, including fair sixth on debut in 2022 Goffs Land Rover event; placed twice at Ayr early in the year; struggled over 2m4f here three weeks ago on hurdling debut. |

Fair novice; generally disappointing in handicaps last season, over fences on last two occasions; back over hurdles with cheekpieces tried; others appeal more. |

Consistent mare who got off the mark for the season in a valuable race at Musselburgh last time (3m, good to soft); chance off this 4lb higher mark. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
She's 3lb out of the handicap but has been running well since December, twice going close over C&D (good to soft/soft); each-way possible. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Made the frame on last three appearances, most recently when close/clear second to unexposed rival at Musselburgh (3m, soft; first-time tongue-tie) three weeks ago; nudged up only 2b for that; might be the answer. |
