15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Doncaster (3m, good) last January and he's had wind surgery since being pulled up here in November on his only run this season; he's a lightly raced 7yo who retains potential but a leap of improvement is needed and it's hard to be confident after last time. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made all in first-time blinkers over C&D (good to soft) in November, his third course win, but was pulled up on all three subsequent outings and needs switch to first-time visor to provoke another resurgence. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won this last year and scored again here in November when in first-time blinkers (good to soft); however, he's on a tough mark and has become all or nothing; races prominently. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Kelso (3m2f) last March and first-time blinkers (retained since) prompted a career-best performance when he scored under Jack Power at same track (2m7f) in November; however, those are the only times he ran well last year, while he was pulled up in this race and also when trying 4m on soft ground at Kelso on latest outing; others look more solid. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Not disgraced in the 3m1f event at Cartmel won by Olivers Travels but shaped as if he may need a drop back in trip; gained his two wins this term over 2m5f (at that venue). |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Never got going in Market Rasen's Summer Plate but returning here is a major positive, having previously gone back-to-back in 2m5f chases (made all on good to soft; good is fine); not handicapped out of contention by any means and probably stays this far. |
8/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Goes particularly well at Cartmel where he won three weeks ago (2m5f, good to soft) despite looking on a toughish mark; similar concerns here raised another 5lb and wouldn't want the ground to turn proper soft. |

Won both a bumper (heavy) and maiden hurdle at Hexham last season; returned in November and well held both starts in novice company; not a bad effort when fourth on handicap debut at Leopardstown. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |
7/1 |

4th 11 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |
5/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Only previous win was over 3m but off this mark; stopped the rot when beaten 5l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby and he's effective at this trip. |
