16th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Hurdle/chase winner for Brian Ellison; decent second in Newbury chase on stable debut (2m4f, good to soft) but well beaten at Southwell last time (3m, good); has run well at 3m; likely to be sharper for the run following a break. |

7th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Hurdle/chase winner for Brian Ellison; no match for a progressive winner at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) but that was a positive start for this yard; unreliable in the past but if holding his form he could be the answer. |

9th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
20l behind Force De Frap at Stratford in March, but significant return to form at Bangor since, just failing to get up in time (2m1f, soft); still well treated on 2023's winning form despite a 3lb re-raise, and just a matter of whether a sharp 2m on good is too much of a speed test now. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won two small-field chases (3m1f/2m7f) about two years ago but was pulled up last month, after a long absence, and might need another run or two before he's of interest again. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
On the up when last seen out in the spring of 2024, bagging a pair of handicap chases (around 3m) at Catterick and Newcastle; has a 23-month absence to overcome here but yard is among the winners so he's no forlorn hope. |

13th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Well beaten in two chase starts in 2021; ran okay in her latest handicap hurdle at Down Royal but she's 2-32 overall and looks best watched on this return to fences. |
7/1 |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Won twice in novice hurdle company in Britain; has run some solid races this decent including when third of 11 at Catterick last time; visor needs to eke out a bit more and very best form is at 2m4f. |
6/1 |

3rd 8 |
28th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Normally consistent enough but 2m4f on soft ground wasn't ideal at Fairyhouse 13 days ago (cheekpieces left off, as today) and her two hurdle wins came in novice company last year; vulnerable on balance. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C&D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

3rd 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Has won four chases, including over C&D in May 2024 (good); best recent form has been at Musselburgh and he was below par over C&D last time (good). |

Consistent and progressive mare with two chase wins here this spring; only third (off 9lb lower) when last seen over hurdles six months ago but has improved since; fair chance if able to transfer her chasing form. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Carlisle specialist; sits close to a career-high mark following a gritty win there (2m, good to soft) in February; "never travelling and jumped poorly" in the Monet's Garden Series Final there three weeks ago; bit to prove for the time being, even acknowledging a 2024 C&D win. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

Record of 6-10 over fences at Carlisle features wins in this race last year (on good ground) and latest outing (2m); on a career-high mark but commands major respect kept to this venue. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won here (2m4f, good) in October and followed up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); below par at Newcastle and Wetherby since and arrives with something to prove, but he's back on his last winning mark and ten visits to Carlisle have yielded five wins (various ground); not ruled out now back here. |
