4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
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. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
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. |

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. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Returned to form at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) on Wednesday, when he was reeled in after blasting off in front but kept on gamely for second; also suited by this C&D and a recent 2lb drop has now taken effect but he had a hard race at Perth and has become inconsistent. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Veteran; 12-94, four of those wins coming at his beloved Perth; showed up well for much of the contest at Hexham (2m, soft; third, beaten 33l) on Saturday evening, before tiring markedly on the uphill climb; the better ground is in his favour here but this is a quick turnaround. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Has won ten of his 82 races, including over this C&D in June 2024 (good); should be all the better for last month's reappearance run at Perth; interesting. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
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. |
33/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Four of his seven wins have been at Hexham; latest win (May 2024) was over this C&D (good to soft) when 13lb higher; mainly disappointing since then, but on a good mark now. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Didn't run badly when fifth of nine at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month and will be fine over today's longer trip but is on the downgrade now and needs a boost from the refitted cheekpieces today. |

10st 8lb |
Won a Haydock maiden hurdle in 2023 (2m3f, good to soft) and lightly raced in the meantime; tailed off in her last three handicaps and had wind surgery since the latest; risky. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Sole win was in a Haydock maiden (2m3f, good to soft) in April 2023 and she's finished tailed off in both runs since returning from a long absence in December; has plenty to prove and she's untried at this trip. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Haydock maiden hurdle (2m3f, good to soft) winner in April 2023 who had bits and pieces of handicap form the following season; tailed off on her return from a 617-day absence at Wetherby (about 2m5f, soft) in December and that outing will have needed to bring her on a good deal. |

Seen only twice again since pair of 2m Hexham novice wins in spring 2021 and made low-key return from 598-day absence last month; might well have benefited from that recent outing but remains a tricky one to weigh up. |

26th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 3 |

Won two novice hurdles in a row at Hexham (2m, soft/good to soft) in spring 2021 and he was a mid-race faller on his sole run since in a Wetherby handicap in March 2022; remains very lightly raced and a market check is advised, but he has a hefty absence to defy. |

Bidding for a C&D hat-trick having won here on last two starts (soft/good); has gone up 9lb but has run well off much higher marks in the past; could go well. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Five races for his new trainer and back on track, following three third places with a tenacious C&D win (soft) under Charlie Maggs in 14-runner race 19 days ago; back up 4lb but one to consider seriously. |
