Won over 2m4f here in November (heavy), his third career win over hurdles; pulled up off 10lb higher back here next time (3m1f, sft-hvy) and then well beaten in a beginners' chase at Punchestown latest; needs to bounce back. |

20th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Perth regular, with five wins there (2m4f-3m), including from this mark in July; underwhelming since (7895) but did fare a bit better than today's rival Do No Wrong at Kelso (2m5f; fifth, beaten over 15l) latest; difficult to know what to expect on his first ever visit to Hexham. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |

Won two in a row at Perth (3m, good) in July but this 11yo has gone off the boil there subsequently and needs to turn things around. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Veteran who enjoyed a revival in July, winning twice over C&D (good); seems quickly to have gone off the boil since though, and was tailed off here 17 days ago. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Beaten 14 times since her last win in March 2025 and her form has taken a downturn; however, this three-time course winner is on a dangerous mark and she may have needed the run here last month following 116 days off. |
10/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time course winner who has dropped to a dangerous mark; however, she has to produce more than she managed on her last three outings in the spring if she's to post a first win since March 2025. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |

Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over hurdles (2m4f/3m) but he's 0-5 on the Flat; plugged on for a modest fourth in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) 22 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this return to handicap company. |

A dual winner over hurdles in 2023 (2m4f/3m); struggled over hurdles/Flat since returning from a lengthy absence; beaten 13l when seventh of nine at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in July and now drops back in trip. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Not in much form over fences before finishing tailed off on the Flat in May, but steadied the ship when running respectably from the front back hurdling at Perth (2m4f, good; beaten 7l); stays this far and if as good again he should make presence felt. |
8/1 |

4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

C&D winner who was tongue tied when coming in last of eight on the Flat at Salisbury last month; lots more is required back in this sphere. |
