Won a maiden hurdle at Cartmel almost two years ago; not much encouragement from two runs on the Flat this season. |

Winning hurdler; Flat form does not amount to much; moderate run at Leopardstown in April after a lengthy break; others make more appeal. |

3rd Oct 2023 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Competitive Flat form at a low level; twice placed over hurdles at Cartmel for this yard and can play a significant role here. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has been running on the Flat, winning 1m4f/1m2f handicaps before a respectable effort in a competitive race at York; capable hurdler with winning form here and James Murray takes off a useful 7lb. |
6/1 |
|
8th 16 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-17 as hurdler but plenty of minor honours, including C&D; needs to improve upon last month's fourth at Hexham but that was his first run for 400 days, so he may well build on that; case can be made off career-low mark. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Has produced a couple of fair efforts in defeat, including a 10l third over C&D in this headgear combination in December 2024, but subsequent runs were disappointing; returns from a lengthy absence with major questions to answer. |

6th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Has been taken off her feet in latest two novices, both at around 2m; unexposed as she moves into handicaps after just five career starts and steps up markedly in trip; plenty to prove but probably worth a market check. |

11st 12lb |
Never looked dangerous when well-held fifth here (2m, soft) last month, after a break, and now 0-10 over hurdles; getting back on good ground ought to be in his favour but others have more pressing claims. |

Placed off 2lb higher over C&D (good) on last summer's handicap debut but absent since a poor run in November and the ground may not dry out quickly enough for him today; had wind op in December; tongue-tie added. |

Placed in 3m points and good second at 50-1 on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November; of interest on that evidence but tailed off at Kelso (2m2f, heavy) recently and has to leave that well behind. |

Fair on the Flat in his prime but has a lowly mark in that sphere nowadays; ran well to a point on last month's hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) and might last longer on today's faster ground but others appeal more all the same. |
