30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won last season's Scottish Champion Chase (2m4f, good to soft; his last win) off 5lb lower but only sixth in the same race when last seen two months ago and there were no clear excuses; this is a drop in grade but has never given the impression that he's a stayer in the making (unraced beyond 2m5f). |
100/30 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
He needs to produce more than when fifth behind a couple of these over C&D (good to soft) on New Year's Day but that was just his second start of the season, after a 60-day break, and he could build on it today; won this last year (good to soft); has also won on soft here; possible contender. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Couldn't cope with the step up to Grade 1 level at Aintree in April (2m4f; 28-1) but had previously impressed when not overly troubled to win 2m3f/2m4f handicaps on good to soft; a sound jumper whose limitations wouldn't be exposed just yet. |

Unexposed mare; placed in two 2m novices but well beaten when stepped up to 2m3f on handicap debut last time (soft, jumped left on occasions); others look stronger. |

11st 11lb |
Two Flat wins at 1m3f/1m6f in 2023; missed most of 2024 and has needed two recent runs; open to improvement in his second handicap with Brian Hughes replacing a 10lb claimer; cheekpieces added latest, now discarded. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |

Two-time Flat winner who has been an encouraging third on his two hurdle starts a year apart, the latest at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in December; open to improvement in this code and is in with a chance on handicap hurdle debut; cheekpieces return (no positive impact on the Flat). |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Solid record (22112) having wind surgery, proving better than ever; beaten only half a length by Chasingouttheblues at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) most recently; firmly in the mix. |
4/1 |

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

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in December on third chase start and followed up at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft); climbing the weights but this 8yo is clearly on the up. |

9th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
In the frame in his three bumpers; hurdle results have been going the wrong way (hooded last time, as on debut) but this is his handicap debut and it could be that he is of renewed interest; market may guide. |

5th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |

raced wide, didn't jump with fluency, in touch with leaders, mistake and dropped to rear 1st, never dangerous |

5th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |

In the frame in three bumpers and similar level of form in two hurdle races at Newcastle, last time fading late on after making the running; this sharper track may suit better. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-16 under rules but has runner-up twice over fences; may be sharper following a reappearance over hurdles at Bangor last month and is now on a career-low mark; not out of this. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Decline in fortunes over fences last season wasn't arrested by a switch to front-running; brave to name this the day given he's 0-15 now, but new career-low mark is notably 8lb lower than when last trying hurdles. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
2024 C&D winner; promising third when returning from a 15-month absence at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, in this headgear combination, proving he retains a good chunk of his ability; however, he'll need to quickly bounce back from a lesser effort at Perth last time, which tempers enthusiasm. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Only win was over 2m7f at Hexham in June 2024 (good); fair third at Wetherby last time (3m, good); chance on his best form but soft ground not ideal. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Made all to score by 13l over C&D (good) in April and has remained in good form since; current mark is workable; ought to give this a good shot. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to win by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has performed fairly well on all three outings since (2m-2m1f); worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to score by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has also performed well on both subsequent outings (once over C&D); refitted cheekpieces are the headgear of choice today; probably won't be far away. |

Won over C&D (soft) last January and followed up at Carlisle (2m, good) in March; very much of interest on that form but he's struggled on both outings this season and needs to turn things around. |
