17th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Built upon promise shown for Rebecca Menzies when winning Musselburgh handicap (2m4f, good to soft) by 24l on last month's stable debut; tackles stronger opposition and has penalty to carry here but still respected. |

Showed enough in qualifying runs to be competitive on handicap debut at Sedgefield but found little (2m5f, good to soft); left Rebecca Menzies since; still time for better but takes on high-flying rivals. |

Took step back in right direction when respectable fourth at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 1lb below his last winning mark but still needs to build upon that recent effort here. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Is 0-29 over hurdles and he ran poorly in a refitted tongue tie when ninth of 11 in 2m Wetherby handicap hurdle 15 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Perth (2m4f, good) in September but struggled on final two starts for Olly Murphy and it was the same story on his stable debut in November; returns from a break with something to prove. |
25/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-25 over hurdles but has posted some good efforts for new stable since the summer, most recently when second at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; also suited by slower ground; probably won't be far away. |

Longstanding maiden who was tailed off at Perth ten days ago when back from a long absence; he would be a shock winner today. |

In front when unseating rider three out in three-runner chase at Kelso in May 2023; however, this maiden has been absent since and is probably best watched from 7lb out of the handicap on his return to action. |

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. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |

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. |

A good runner-up at Perth (2m4f) in May but he's shown little in three runs since, pulled up back there (2m4f) nine days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

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. |
