21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Point/bumper winner who landed a Hexham novice (2m, good) in October but has a mixed record since and was only eighth of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; edging down the weights and is still unexposed in this sphere but others are more convincing. |

11st 10lb |
Front-runner who was beaten 9l when last of the three finishers at Ayr (2m, soft) in January; however, he's been dropped a handy 3lb since and is capable of better judged on last season's evidence; not written off. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner who was no match for Uptown Harry but still ran well when runner-up in first-time blinkers on his chase debut at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) last month; has since left Sandy Thomson; open to improvement in this sphere and he's one to consider now starting out for Mark Walford. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Merely seventh over hurdles on last two starts but before those he was second of 14 on his stable/seasonal debut at Ayr, and this point winner could be suited by today's switch to fences; not ruled out now in headgear. |

27th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Comfortably held in two novice hurdles for new yard; Irish point form (six runs) included two placed efforts and two falls, so he brings mixed messages to chase debut. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Below par at Ayr last time, ending a consistent spell of form; rebound looks possible but this is a difficult task and he's still seeking a first win away from Hexham. |

5th 7 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Placed on consecutive starts in cheekpieces here (2m4f/2m3f) in December/January and again ran well when close second in first-time visor at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on latest outing; contests this competitive race from a career-high mark but still enters calculations. |

4th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bought out of Gordon Elliott's yard for 10,000gns in August; fair form over hurdles, getting off the mark in a Sligo handicap for conditionals in July (2m1f, good to yielding); not quite so good in similar company last time but interesting on stable debut back in novice company with no penalty. |
