17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Hasn't got competitive this term and beaten 18l when sixth of eight on stable debut at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) in February; however, he shaped as though this step up in trip might be a good move and his three wins, including two over fences last January (2m, soft), have all come at Ayr. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |

Made fine start to chasing career last term, winning twice at Ayr (2m, soft); won on good to soft over hurdles; faced tough task on reappearance in November but well beaten in C&D handicap (soft) subsequently on final run for Nick Alexander; can be in the mix on stable debut if rediscovering last season's promise; remains in same ownership. |

Runner-up in eight of his ten starts, twice in points and six times over hurdles, the latest at Newcastle in December (2m6f, good); this looks more competitive; cheekpieces now tried; each-way chance. |

Heavy-ground bumper winner who showed solid form in novice hurdles last season at up to an extended 2m4f, and he reappeared with a handicap debut win at Haydock (2m3f, soft) last month; goes up in trip and he could do with settling and jumping better, but he's unexposed and clearly promising. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Consistent over fences last autumn and winter; struggled for fluency on both runs since a break, pulling up behind Cinderello latest. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Was running quite well over fences until last time when pulled up; has a higher hurdle mark despite being a maiden in this discipline but if back on song he should be competitive in this bad a race. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Probably fortunate to win off today's mark over C&D (good to soft; leader fell at final fence) in October, but that was still a good effort and his next two runs were respectable; contender if tuned up after 97-day break. |

Two wins over 1m2f for Harry Eustace in 2022 (soft/good to soft); not shown a great deal for present yard (tailed off over 1m at Carlisle last time); blinkers replace cheekpieces; others appeal more. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
He can make mistakes and was pulled up at Fairyhouse just 12 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, he jumped to the left and returns to a left-handed track for the first time since his promising second on chase debut at Haydock (2m4f, soft); won 3m maiden hurdle here; interesting. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 2lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner, both at Ayr; best of three chase efforts came at Haydock in December when 2l behind the 124-rated Lario; has run well here over timber and he can't be fully dismissed in a new headgear combination. |
9/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |

124-rated hurdler was beaten 2l on his chase debut at Haydock (2m4f, soft) and that form has been boosted by the third who has won twice since; beaten 4.5l over 3m in a Carlisle handicap chase on latest; could do better dropped back in trip; chance. |
