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. |

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. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Prominent racer who made it 4-4 for 2026 (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft/good) at Carlisle last month; won by 3l last time and a 7lb rise may not stop this thriving 8yo, provided the forecast soft ground isn't an issue. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Improving chaser who has won his last three, the first two at 2m4f/2m3f but last time coping fine with the sharper test of 1m7f around Catterick (good); up in grade here with a 7lb rise to deal with but he's got major momentum behind him. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won novice handicaps at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) and here (2m3f, good to soft) in January; down in trip (won over 2m over hurdles) and on a career-high mark (went up 6lb for last win) but a contender. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Pulled up on both starts for new stable this spring, latterly when 80-1 for handicap debut at Perth (2m, good to firm); moves back up in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor here. |

9th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Placed in bumpers in 2022 and second at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in April 2023; however, pulled up last May on final outing for Fergal O'Brien and, after wind surgery in February, the same happened when 50-1 for new yard in April; cheekpieces (tried once) return and this is her handicap debut. |

Placed in bumpers in 2022 and second at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in April 2023; pulled up last May on latest outing and has left Fergal O'Brien; had wind surgery in February; even on best form, this looks a stiff task. |

Easily his closest finish since debut came when second of 13 over C&D (soft) in April latest, in his second handicap; had wind surgery one month ago; considered. |

Third in a Kelso bumper on debut last April (2m, good); fairly ordinary form over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Ayr last time (2m, good to soft); improvement needed. |

Made the frame four consecutive times over hurdles in early part of last season, once over C&D (good to firm) off his lowly handicap mark; absent since September and not favoured by the weights today but might collect another minor prize. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Dual course winner (2m2f/2m5f) in the autumn; not in same form lately and untested over this far but back on a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up in this last year and he won two in a row at Kelso (2m2f/2m5f, good/good to soft) in the autumn; patchy form since but when pulled up at Kelso last time he was contesting the very competitive Morebattle Hurdle; drying ground will aid his cause and it will be no surprise if he runs well. |

Won a Flat race in 2023 but is 0-21 over hurdles; tailed off on last two starts, admittedly in a maiden last time after four months off but he does not look a solid option; tongue tied first time. |

0-12 over hurdles; ran well when fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last month but was not seen to same effect over 2m7f there a fortnight later; drops back in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Placed off 1lb higher here (2m, good) last June and might have needed last month's reappearance run (tailed off before last-flight fall) but he's 0-10 over hurdles now and and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |
