25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Finished alone in a match race on chase debut in October; not beaten far when last of four at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in February but ran poorly over that C&D last month and needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Dual course winner over hurdles; finished alone in a match race on seasonal/chase debut in October then wasn't beaten far when last of four over C&D (good to soft) in February; eased in grade today and could still have potential over fences. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Three wins last season (2m, various ground) and ran well to be placed towards the end of last year on first two starts for this yard; faded when upped to 2m5f last month and firmly in calculations now back down in trip. |

3rd 6 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Won three small-field chases for Pauline Robson last season and was placed on first two starts for Nicky Richards this term, more recently when second at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) just after Christmas; untested beyond an extended 2m1f but is a major player if this new trip suits. |

14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent in her five runs last February-November, all over about 2m and second of five in a handicap at Hexham (heavy; acts on good) last time; needs extra to win but has place claims again. |

2nd 3 |
22nd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Placed in three of her last four hurdles starts (all around 2m); has shown enough to suggest she can be competitive from this mark, now returning to handicap company. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner on debut (2m1f, heavy); four fair runs with cheekpieces at up to 4m this year, all with give in the ground; worth considering. |
6/1 |

3rd 10 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-16 since winning on debut in March 2023 and he's 5lb out of the handicap today; however, he's been hinting in chases at about 3m this year that today's extra test of stamina may be right up his street; interesting for stable that had an excellent weekend. |

22nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Only his second completion in a handicap when beaten 8l into fifth at Musselburgh (good to soft); that was three months ago and he'll need a bit more here you would think. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Low-mileage 8yo; bled from the nose when pulled up on chasing debut in December (did go off favourite) but suffered the same fate on his return to hurdling, again on heavy; has shown he can run well off this mark and less testing ground here could suit; tries cheekpieces. |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who showed hints of promise over hurdles and was sent off the 11-4 favourite for last month's handicap and chase debut at Ayr; he bled from the nose and was pulled up but he reverts to hurdling today and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Three chase wins for Maurice Barnes including over C&D in March 2025 (good to soft); well beaten last three starts; 5lb out of the handicap for stable debut. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |

Won this race off a 4lb lower mark last season (Hawkseye View third); mixed form this season, but the drier ground will suit and has an each-way chance. |
