21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
These cheekpieces and a switch to prominent tactics have prompted good performances at Ayr (2m4f, soft) on his last two starts, finishing second then first; he's won three times here in the past (including on good to soft) and might be thereabouts. |
9/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Third in this last year (heavy) and achieved his best result of this season when 6l second to Diamond Geezer in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over C&D (soft) last month; could be thereabouts. |

Four-time hurdle winner, including three over 2m5f at Kelso (good to soft/soft); disappointing start to chasing career in the autumn but he ran respectably back over hurdles at Kelso (extended 2m6f) last month; now back on last winning mark and he could be dangerous on this drop back in trip; cheekpieces added. |

Sole win came at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in November 2023 off 3lb lower mark; pulled up when last seen in March last year but wind surgery and the subsequent break may have helped. |

He's on a competitive mark on last winter's form but has been pulled up on both starts this term and is now 0-17; not easy to fancy. |

0-14 in points and 2-29 under rules, with chase record 0-6; very opposable on what he's been showing of late in handicap chases. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Career record reads 2-42 including 14 starts in points; finished a very long way behind Wheresmemoneygone at Perth (3m, good) last month, but even a huge weights swing makes him hard to fancy; tongue-tie returns. |
40/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Second of four in C&D (good) hunter chase in May, but the form isn't anything to go wild about and he was pulled up when back in a handicap at Hexham last month; others look much stronger. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in spring 2023 and made quite encouraging return from 575-day absence in C&D race won by Man Of Action in June, albeit looking held before falling heavily at the final flight; not ruled out. |

Scored over fences on stable debut in August and has remained in good form since (albeit suffered early mishap last time); likely to give another good account off his lower hurdle mark here. |

10yo who was in and out last season but returned to form when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in March last time; could have a part to play if conditions are suitable (he's unraced on good ground under rules). |

First run since leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero when fifth of 12 in handicap at Sedgefield (2m1f,) 17 days ago; while that doesn't necessarily mark him down as a winner in waiting but he has dropped back to the mark he defied at Huntingdon in February. |

Held on well to beat Top Of The Bay and Ribeye under Pippa Brown at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month and ran at least as well when close second at Sedgefield (2m3f, good) six days later but Kelso 11 days ago was a bit disappointing and, on balance, others look stronger. |
