13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo who was 25-1 runner-up on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last January; soundly beaten at Ayr this February on sole run since but may have needed that outing; not discounted. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo who had wind surgery prior to his handicap debut last January and finished second of 16 at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; 25-1); absent since but he'll be bang there if resuming where he left off. |

Beaten only about 4l when fourth in good-ground course bumper in May but was remote when filling same position at Ayr (good to soft) last month and needs to improve to pose a threat on this hurdling debut. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won his final two starts last season (2m3f/2m4f, soft/good to soft) and there's every chance this 7yo will get back on track at some stage; however, he's been disappointing on his three outings this term and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims today. |
10/1 |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last term with maiden (on soft) and handicap wins, latterly at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) in April; disappointing on both starts this term but was struck into last time and has also since had wind surgery; additionally, he's now upped in trip and has tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time, so there could be explanations aplenty were he to stage a revival. |
9/1 |
|
11th 8 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 218y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Still raw last season according to his trainer so encouraging that he could follow up his maiden win with a comfortable handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft); raised 9lb for that Class 4 success and this is appreciably stronger, but everything would suggest that he's going to get better. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Closely matched with Triple Crown Ted on February's Kelso clash and this 7yo was good value for his win back in a maiden here last time on soft ground; progressive and quite likely on fair terms with the handicapper. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three good runs this season, the latest a close second on handicap debut at Kelso (2m, heavy) three weeks ago; has another big role to play on this return to novice company. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Returned from absence to finish third to Triple Crown Ted in C&D novice (soft) in November and took a step forward when again third over C&D (good to soft) last time; this lightly raced 7yo is open to further improvement and could give a good account on handicap debut. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Came good with hard-fought success on his reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November and has improved on that in two Ayr outings since, upped to around this trip and winning on soft last time; up 8lb which demands another career best but he has to be respected in current form. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Came good with hard-fought success on seasonal debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November, his seventh start over hurdles, and bettered that performance when clear second to a handicap blot here (2m3f, soft) the following month; no surprise if he plays another major role. |

3rd 11 |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Has consistent hurdles form; however, his chance of gaining a first success in this sphere largely depends on how well he responds to a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run). |
25/1 |
|
7th 13 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Bumper winner has finished in the first three in his four maiden/novice hurdles (1m7f-2m1f, good to soft/soft); wears first-time tongue-tie on handicap debut and improvement is possible, but necessary in this hot race. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Consistent record includes a bumper success on final outing for previous yard; placed in three maiden hurdles since, clear second at Wincanton (1m7f) most recently; holds solid and leading claims. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

11-race maiden with an unconvincing profile and he's 7lb out of the weights on stable debut. |
20/1 |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Placed only once and even that form gives him something to find; maiden status looks set to persist. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who produced one of his better runs when third of eight at Catterick (1m7f, soft) recently; however, that looked a weak race and he'll need a bigger performance today if he's to get off the mark. |
