9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up over fences at Kelso when last seen out having won a Carlisle handicap chase (3m, good) in October; runs over hurdles for the first time for more than two years (C&D winner in October 2023); second run after wind op. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders since scrambling home by a neck on seasonal debut at Carlisle (3m, good) in October but now 6lb below that mark, and didn't run badly when last of five finishers here (3m2f, good to soft) in March; had another wind op (his third) soon after that latest outing; one to consider. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Last win was off a higher mark and he'll appreciate returning to further after chasing home a good thing over 2m4f at Ayr (soft; fine on good ground); that was a welcome return to form; definite chance if he can back it up. |

11st 12lb |
It was only his second run over fences but he jumped well when pulling clear with the favourite at Wetherby (1m7f, good to soft) and a 6lb rise seems fair; good chance. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won three points in spring 2024 but, following a long absence, has been pulled up on all three starts under rules for new stable this season; has too much to prove. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won three points in May/June 2024 but then absent until this winter, and he's been pulled up over fences (50-1) then hurdles (33-1) on his two outings this season; a major turnaround is necessary. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won three points in 2024 but his rules form has been regressive and he ran poorly over fences on his reappearance/stable debut; blinkers on; carries clear risks. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time winner, the latest at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) last May, and she hasn't been running badly this season (good to soft/soft); edging back down the weights and might not be far away. |
5/1 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has won on soft but best form on good to soft or quicker; yard continues in fine form but Either Or had her measure at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month and she has no strong turnaround claims. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Last three wins have been in 2m4f handicap chases at Ayr, although won a 2m Ayr novice handicap over hurdles in March 2023 (good); hasn't been in top form over fences on last three starts and probably best watched this time. |

Three chase wins at Ayr (2m4f on soft/good to soft) last winter but below best there in March and at Carlisle since; Callum Pritchard takes off a helpful 5lb but adding cheekpieces acknowledges something needs to change. |

Eight-race maiden for Micky Hammond, best run when fourth over this trip at Perth in April (good to soft); well beaten next time (didn't jump well) and now makes debut for Rebecca Menzies with a first-time tongue-tie. |

10st 6lb |
11yo who is lightly raced for his age; never threatened on his completed starts over fences last season (fell early latest); is a dual hurdle winner but suspicion he might prove vulnerable to some of the much younger legs in this line-up. |
