Campaigned mostly at longer trips (stays 12.5f) and offered little back over 1m at Newcastle in early December. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in August; ran okay when third over C&D (soft) nine days ago but was no match for the first two (including Cisco Disco); needs something extra. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
8-59, although his last win came in a two-runner affair at Carlisle (2m1f; 2-5 favourite; all out) in December 2023; latest Carlisle sixth (beaten 15l; 50-1) not overly inspiring; others more obvious. |
10/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has won six times over hurdles, the latest a two-runner affair over C&D (good to soft) in December 2023; a couple of fair runs for this yard last year but pulled up when last seen out in January (reportedly never travelling); others appeal more. |
20/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
On a long losing spell and form figures of 246 this term reflect that a turnaround of sorts is required; admittedly appears well treated if that resurgence materialises, being 7lb below last winning mark. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Usually runs at Newcastle and has never won elsewhere; inconsistent results in classified races this year; not beaten far at Southwell on penultimate but lacks solidity. |
25/1 |

10th 5 (1) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who does the vast majority of his racing here, winning three times (7f/1m) in the first half of 2024; needs to better his recent efforts to get heavily involved, though. |
