12st 0lb |
Two novice hurdle wins in 2022-23 season (including on soft) and he won a point (2m6f, good) last March; bang there when falling at final fence in a point in December; however, not discounted now back under rules. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at just the second time of asking in 2m4f Hexham maiden in March; backed it up under a 7lb penalty with a solid second in 2m3f Carlisle novice the following month so this son of Milan needs considering now upped in trip on his handicap debut. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Off the best part of two years before his hurdle debut fifth; all the sharper for that run when winning over 2m4f at Hexham (heavy) 23 days ago; more will be needed here but he did score pretty readily. |

10st 5lb |
Placed over hurdles at 250-1 at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) 13 months ago but has not shown much since; upped in trip for today's chasing debut; big leap of faith required to support her. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Safely held at last month's Aintree festival but back in calmer waters here and now back on same mark as for win at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) in December; will be fine over this trip; might be the answer. |
6/1 |

9th 12 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who hasn't had much racing for his age and has been progressive this term, with wins at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) and Haydock (2m4f, good to soft); however, below par at Carlisle in February last time and, even if back on song, there's a firm suspicion this will prove too competitive. |
33/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m4f, good to soft) and 8l second to progressive winner at Doncaster (2m, soft) last time; he can give another good account and is one to consider. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Only 1-22 under rules and clearly hard to win with but he arrives in form having placed in a second successive Highland National here (3m6f, good) last month; just as effective over this shorter distance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only 1-21 overall and clearly hard to win with, but he was runner-up in this 12 months ago and returns in form having been running well from 2m4f to 3m; in the mix. |

Sole win under rules came in a handicap chase in 2023 (2m7f, soft); stays 3m6f but nearly won over this far at Carlisle on his reappearance and not disgraced since. |

11st 2lb |
No impact in bumpers and same story in two novice hurdles this spring, most recently when seventh of eight at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft); has good pedigree and it's still early days but handicaps look the way forward after this. |

Won a C&D maiden (good to soft) in February 2023 but he's had only five runs since and has been well held in last three completed starts; unseated over fences here last month and has plenty to prove back in this sphere. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Has a record of 2-4 this term but gained the second success in one of the weaker Pertemps qualifiers and faces a stiffer task off 6lb higher in this field; possibly unsuited by Windsor most recently. |
16/1 |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Largely progressive northern raider; won going away in Pertemps qualifier at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) most recently, taking record this term to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; ventures south with respectable claims. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |

Lightly raced for his age; beaten a head by Ginger Mail over 2m4f here (soft) in January and he was a good fifth at Kelso on his final start last term; unexposed over 3m+ and gets weight all round; commands major respect. |
