16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Completed hat-trick when winning here (2m5f, soft) in March 2024; lightly raced since and he got back on the scoresheet at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he can give another good account up 4lb. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Very lightly raced since completing a hat-trick as a novice chaser two seasons ago; his Sedgefield form (2m5f) this season has received a few boosts, and latest effort suggests this drop back in trip may prove ideal; enters calculations. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Scored off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) in June but all three subsequent runs were disappointing and he now has questions to answer again; new headgear tried. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month and is still well handicapped on older form, but was soundly beaten on his last two outings and now has questions to answer again. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Exploited some help from the handicapper when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) this month and is still on a workable mark after going back up 5lb but needs to rebound quickly from disappointing run on Saturday. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Landed his second win over fences when prevailing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, after finishing runner-up twice; a 4lb rise is workable and he should be thereabouts. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a novice handicap off 4lb lower at Warwick last March (2m4f, good); two sound runs this time, notably when second to an in-form rival at Wetherby last month (2m3f, soft); contender. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who is lightly raced for his age; progressive in these cheekpieces last season, finishing second at Leicester (2m4f, soft) then first at Warwick (2m4f, good); close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November on sole outing this term; goes well fresh and entitled to respect. |

10st 2lb |
Won two handicap hurdles in the spring of 2022 (3m/3m3f, good to soft); has been rather disappointing in his six runs over fences; no easy task from 4lb out of the handicap. |

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. |

19th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Raced too freely and flopped badly when upped to 2m5f for last month's chasing debut but his fourth over hurdles here (2m3f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago was promising, and he remains lightly raced; hooded for this first attempt at 3m; no surprise if he features. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

0-6 over hurdles but caught the eye when keeping on well for fourth in today's headgear combination at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month and has possibilities here if he takes well to fences. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in a bumper and three hurdle races in 2022, and makes his handicap/chase debut after a 521-day absence; however, his 6l Irish point win in April 2022 bodes well for his prospects over fences; market may guide. |

24th Aug 2022 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Joined Donald McCain after Irish point win in April but has made a low-key start to his rules career and riding arrangements suggest Largy Reach is the stable's main hope here. |
