26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 10lb |
Dual purpose; won a C&D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling. |
25/1 |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 182y |
11st 11lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; seemingly perked up by the new blinkers when a rallying third at Dundalk 19 days ago (1m4f); whether he'll be as good again is open to some debate. |

3rd 8 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Sole success for this yard came in Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in 2024; fine effort at big odds over C&D after long layoff in January when fourth to Voice Of Reason but unable to back that up in two subsequent starts; new headgear. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

6th 6 (8) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Had a good spell in late 2025, winning three Tapeta handicaps at around this trip; good second to a well-handicapped opponent at Southwell last week; one to take seriously. |

midfield and in touch with leaders, ridden over 2f out, no impression and held from over 1f out, went modest third inside final furlong, no match for first two |

31st Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who drops back in trip in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) and is one to watch in the betting; however, she's been beaten a very long way on all three starts this year. |
25/1 |

9th 1 (6) |
13th Jul 2023 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner just over a year ago but disappointing both starts this season; cheekpieces on and down in both weights/grade but enough to prove at present. |
33/1 |

26th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fair 1m3f winner for Keith Dalgleish but well beaten on first run for yard on reappearance (soft) at Doncaster last month; may do better returned to a sound surface. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |
9/2 |

4th 1 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Easily best effort in four maiden/novice hurdles last season when second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); did manage back-to-back wins over 2m on the Flat at Catterick last May but more recent AW Flat efforts have been no more than respectable. |

Poor maiden who has no solid form claims, particularly not from his only three runs on turf. |

took keen hold, prominent, pulled way into lead after 2f, headed over 1f out, weakened final furlong |
12/1 |

10 (12) |
13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Having her first run over 1m4f when winning from out of the blue at Newcastle in April; failed to match that form when failing to settle back over 1m2f there in May, which spells danger over this new trip. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
5th May 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Out of a middle-distance winner for Mark Johnston and popped up from nowhere over 1m4f here last month; had a bit in hand for Amie Waugh that day, so has fair claims again off a 5lb higher mark. |
