18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Win/placed form in his usual cheekpieces before making all for a narrow success in the newly fitted visor (with tongue-tie worn for last seven starts) at Cartmel (2m5f, good); he's getting high in the weights now (raised another 4lb) and he won't be the only one racing prominently. |

1st 3 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
In fine fettle in recent runs, landing his fifth win over fences at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and placed since at Aintree and Perth; swaps cheekpieces for a first-time visor and looks sure to give another good account. |
3/1 |

2nd 9 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Career bests on the RPR front in his last two races, winning at Kelso (2m5f) and close up at Aintree (2m4f; again on good); could run well, though a nagging concern that he didn't appear to stay 3m when he tried it once before (at this track). |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Should be well handicapped but has been below par for a good while now and more new headgear is tried after flirting with a tongue-tie last time; capable but risky. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won a Class 2 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; from 7lb higher) in March 2025, but has failed to match that level of form since (0-9); wasn't beaten too far over C&D (Class 3; fourth of seven) three weeks ago, and a similar effort would give him a shout in this added tongue-tie; 2-10 for Alan Doyle. |
4/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Three wins last season; hasn't scaled the same heights this time round, although latest third of six at Newcastle was a bit more encouraging and he's well handicapped if staging a full-scale revival. |

11st 9lb |
Two hurdles wins last season, the latter when upped to 2m7f at Bangor (good) in April; still unexposed over this sort of trip but was tailed off when dropped back to 2m4f last month; hard to predict. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Completed a double, five months apart, when successful at Bangor (2m7f, good) in April; this is tougher off 7lb higher but may have more to offer in search of a three-timer. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-7 under rules but ran quite well on chasing debut here (3m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in March and switched back to hurdling with clear second over C&D (good) last month; moves up from Class 5 today but still features prominently in calculations. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Yet to win over hurdles; creditable third of five in a 3m handicap on chase debut here in first-time cheekpieces off this mark last time (good to soft); headgear retained now back hurdling. |

Ran his best race for nearly two years when a close fourth over C&D last time (good) on his third start over fences; each-way chance on that form. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Bumped into progressive winner when runner-up over C&D (soft) last month on his second chase start but beaten 31l and only two completed, so it wasn't a good advertisement for his claims this afternoon. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish maiden; made quite pleasing stable debut when second in Hexham maiden (2m, soft) in October but a well-beaten outsider in both subsequent handicaps (1m7f/2m); attempts a new trip here. |

Left previous yard for £1,400 in January but new trainer added a tongue-tie at Cartmel (2m6f, good) and he stayed on well for a close second; up 2lb but thereabouts with a repeat. |

Unplaced all six hurdling starts for Jackie Stephen, the latest in early 2025; changed hands for £1,400 in January and has new tongue-tie fitted for this stable debut; 1lb wrong but worth a glance in the market. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Completed hurdle double when winning here (2m6f, soft) in December and tapped back into that promise when runner-up at Sandown (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago on his third run over fences; won on good to soft going over hurdles; that latest form reads well and he's high on the list this afternoon. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Highly progressive over hurdles in 2025, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft), but he's performed below that level switched to fences in recent months; still early days in this sphere but difficult to make a case for him here. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Highly progressive over hurdles last year, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft); weakened quickly when soundly beaten sixth on last month's chase debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) but that's unlikely to be the limit of his ability over fences; no surprise to see a bold show. |
