30th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Kelso juvenile contest (2m, heavy) on his hurdles debut this time last year; well below that level when returning to that C&D for his only run since; bit to prove after that. |

14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fifth in both bumpers and improved to win five-runner 4yo hurdle over C&D (heavy) last January; absent since and others have more substance to their form, but he has a classy Flat pedigree and could have more to offer. |
9/1 |

15th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a classy Flat pedigree and he improved upon his bumper form to win on last month's hurdle debut at Kelso (2m, heavy); it was probably a weak race but he could continue to progress and is respected under a penalty. |

towards rear, outpaced and plenty to do 6th, switched right towards near side before 2 out, stayed on approaching last, never on terms |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Well treated on his hurdle win at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last March but he's had only five runs since and has struggled in all of them; didn't get very far on only previous run over fences and has plenty to prove back in this sphere after 204 days off; stablemate of Killybegs Jet Lady. |

11th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a 3m novice handicap at Newcastle in March (2m7f, heavy; cheekpieces on for first time); headgear retained but disappointing this term; bit to prove now. |

13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two of his last four, accounting for Snow Dragon at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft; from 4lb lower) in February; the snag is that the other two efforts were laboured ones, beaten 28l into fourth over 2m here (good) three weeks ago; this longer trip can assist. |
8/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Inconsistent but won at Ayr (2m3f, heavy) in December and returned to form to win at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in February on his latest start; ran well on good ground here last May and it's possible he'll cope with the drop back in trip; he can be in the shake-up if on another going day. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time winner, most recently at Ayr (2m3f) on penultimate start; however, by no means certain to repeat that form, being far from consistent otherwise. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three chase wins for Maurice Barnes including over C&D in March 2025 (good to soft); well beaten last three starts; 5lb out of the handicap for stable debut. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won this race off a 4lb lower mark last season (Hawkseye View third); mixed form this season, but the drier ground will suit and has an each-way chance. |
