9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up over fences at Kelso when last seen out having won a Carlisle handicap chase (3m, good) in October; runs over hurdles for the first time for more than two years (C&D winner in October 2023); second run after wind op. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |

Not really firing on all cylinders since scrambling home by a neck on seasonal debut at Carlisle (3m, good) in October but now 6lb below that mark, and didn't run badly when last of five finishers here (3m2f, good to soft) in March; had another wind op (his third) soon after that latest outing; one to consider. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |

Last win was off a higher mark and he'll appreciate returning to further after chasing home a good thing over 2m4f at Ayr (soft; fine on good ground); that was a welcome return to form; definite chance if he can back it up. |

Progressive for new stable, winning four times, until form dipped sharply in last two outings; has seemingly gone off the boil and may be in the assessor's grip now to boot. |

Tailed off at Leicester (2m6f, good to soft) last month but highly progressive for new yard previously, winning four times (2m4f/3m, good to soft/heavy); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |

Form figures in bumpers (1UP8) demonstrate that things have not gone swimmingly since his Ayr debut success; however, combination of wind surgery and switch to hurdles may prompt a turnaround. |

No progress in bumpers and she's struggled at big prices in four hurdle runs including a C&D handicap (good) last April; had wind surgery since but can only be watched on her comeback. |

Always towards rear at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles; makes handicap debut from 6lb out of the weights; could be considered only if much stronger in the betting this time. |

Won C&D maiden on heavy ground in March and runner-up over C&D on both subsequent appearances (heavy/good to soft); today's faster ground may not be ideal but her handicap mark is workable and, if her useful bumper form is a guide, she may yet do better over hurdles. |

Off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles over C&D (heavy) a fortnight ago, which was her second start back from another absence; has the potential to be better than this opening mark in view of her useful bumper form. |

Verdict
The Ann Hamilton-trained DARE TO SHOUT won in good style at Kelso last month and can follow up. The mare Miss Lamb is the stand-out danger. Point winner Wearelongterm is next on the list, with fellow hurdling newcomer Lunar Flow another each-way possible.[Ben Hutton]
