13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Flagbearer for the yard, winning two Morebattles at Kelso and a Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr; however, he's failed to find his best form this season, including only sixth in the latest running of the Morebattle 13 days ago; respectable seventh in this last year; others are more obvious. |
33/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Not at his best this season but Haydock last month was a step back in the right direction, after a wind op; has won here four times, including the last two runnings of this race (good to soft), and he's 1lb lower than when winning the Scottish Champion Hurdle last April; major player. |
6/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Below par on both runs this season but has had wind surgery since and he's back down to the same mark as for his win in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft); not ruled out on this drop in grade. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Won over fences last season and has won twice over hurdles since September; now he's on a recovery mission after very quiet runs at Windsor (2m4f) and at the Cheltenham Festival (3m; again on his favoured good ground). |
14/1 |

22th 16 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Won two chases last season and 2-4 back hurdling this term, with all those wins on good ground but he also scored on soft in his novice days; however, tailed off at Windsor on New Year's Day, unraced beyond 2m5f under rules and needs to resume his improvement. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
2-5 over fences last season and gamely made all when back over hurdles for last month's reappearance at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); might have a fitness edge over some of these but is 4lb higher in a much deeper race today. |

23rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Made all at Perth (2m4f, good) in September and runner-up over this C&D (good to soft) on two of his three starts since; this 7yo can produce another bold show. |
6/1 |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all at Perth (2m4f, good) in September before close second of 15 over this C&D (good to soft) in October; well-beaten fourth at Musselburgh last time but faced tough task from out of the handicap in that Class 2; could make a bold bid now back down in grade off his proper mark. |

1st Jan 2025 Good 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
In-form front-runner who got mugged late on at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); however, this is competitive and he's 8lb out of the handicap. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
4-29, including a C&D win (from 2lb lower) at this two-day Perth fixture in 2025; has been competing over 3m recently, failing to get home when fourth to Suspected (beaten over 13l) here three weeks ago; dropping back in trip is in his favour; don't discount hastily. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Has won four times over hurdles, including over 2m4f here last May (good); softer ground no problem but stamina to prove. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Perth (2m4f, good) last May and at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in November, and has run well at up to 3m; now just 1lb above his last winning mark and not running badly this year, but he has to better those recent efforts. |

21st May 2024 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Likely to have had a major say in the outcome but for the late voiding of a race at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in March; let down by his hurdling both subsequent starts; tackles a new trip but is capable of being involved from an easing mark, in a newly applied tongue-tie, if hurdling slicker. |

1st Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten when 66-1 for last month's handicap debut (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces); that came after a break and he remains unexposed, but he could be considered only if much stronger in the betting here. |

4th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Pretty poor so far but he's into handicaps on the driest ground he will have encountered to date and cheekpieces are fitted; possible improver. |

6th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |

Hasn't shown enough across his three starts (the last two over hurdles) to suggest he'll be making an impact this afternoon. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Low-mileage 8yo; bled from the nose when pulled up on chasing debut in December (did go off favourite) but suffered the same fate on his return to hurdling, again on heavy; has shown he can run well off this mark and less testing ground here could suit; tries cheekpieces. |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who showed hints of promise over hurdles and was sent off the 11-4 favourite for last month's handicap and chase debut at Ayr; he bled from the nose and was pulled up but he reverts to hurdling today and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |
