23rd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Tailed off on hurdling debut but different story over C&D this month (in tongue-strap for first time) when beating several of these; 50-1 but no fluke about the win and followed up in Wolverhampton AW contest last Saturday; penalty for the course success but still strongly considered. |

Very consistent at a fair level on the Flat since the autumn, and collected a 1m4f AW handicap in November (RPR 72), but dropped out rather tamely on recent hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and needs help from the first-time tongue-tie here. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Beaten only 2l when fifth in this last year and runs off just 1lb higher today (from 8lb out of the handicap); however, he hasn't been at his best this season and would be a surprise winner. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Yet to run here but has a good record on other sharp, right-handed tracks, including a win in the quite valuable Scottish County at Musselburgh last February; looked to have been primed for another bold bid in this year's renewal of that race (7-2 favourite) only to unseat at the start 12 days ago; has won on soft but yet to encounter heavy. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Didn't run badly at Cheltenham/Ascot on his two starts towards the end of last year, with mistakes not helping last time; 2-2 here (soft/good to soft) and has to be of interest now back at Musselburgh off a mark just 1lb higher than when winning this last year. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to score but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 2m handicap here in February; the winner and third there have both gone in since, so he's a player off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 4 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-16, but C&D second on October's return from two years out took course record to 322; longer trip excuses flop next time, but Windsor disappointment latest is trickier to forgive, unless he simply doesn't act on that day's good ground any longer; as likely to revive here as anywhere. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Absent since September 2023 and untested on ground slower than good to soft but has a largely consistent record (albeit 0-9) over hurdles; returns on a good mark and with Sean Bowen booked; market reference recommended. |

In a consistent run of form when last seen in November, mostly hooded but also in just a tongue-tie last time; this mark is very manageable but he does lack a recent run. |

Has been in fine fettle since joining current yard in the summer with four wins in handicaps; incurs 12lb penalty here partially offset by Luke Scott's 3lb claim; should be hard to beat at this level. |

First two wins over 1m4f (turf) and 1m2f (Polytrack) but found stamina reserves when upped to 2m over C&D on latest Flat start for previous trainer in February; poor hurdles form since but may have more to come at this trip back with former yard if jumping experience hasn't soured him. |

Fair bumper/Flat scorer for Brian Ellison but he was pulled up on his hurdling debut for Ann Duffield at Kelso in October and also came in well held back on the level in 2m Wolverhampton handicap last month for his new stable; others appeal more. |
