Stuck in a bit of a rut right now and he's at his best with some give underfoot; others preferred from 2lb out of the weights. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Regressive 7yo who never really got competitive when sixth over C&D (good) last month; far too well handicapped to rule out but needs to stage a revival. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Not really firing on all cylinders since the winter but has slipped to a very tempting mark and, with blinkers refitted, was not beaten far when fifth in recent C&D handicap fought out by Just Dottie and Mack The Man. |

Absent since December but that was a good run at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) and he has competitive form here on good ground; one to consider. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Gained a first win for two years at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and backed it up with a good second of nine in 2m Hexham handicap 15 days ago when set a lot to do; this veteran is not taken lightly eased 1lb. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Well past his prime now but held on gamely to win selling handicap at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in May and went down fighting when clear second at Kelso (2m2f, good) a week ago; big player off same mark if in similar mood here. |

Plentiful form at Musselburgh with three C&D wins, including last August for his only Flat win last year (4lb higher today); never dangerous when 50-1 for reappearance here two weeks ago but showed promise from out the back and could be a lot more potent this time. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

Four-time winner here, two over C&D on good ground (handles soft); undoubtedly on a dangerous mark but latest two efforts have been underwhelming and he needs to turn things around; safer to look elsewhere on recent form. |

Dual purpose sort who hasn't stood much racing since winning here (2m4f, soft) in July 2024; first run in this sphere since when a faller at Hereford in December; may need further and softer conditions to be at his best. |
