23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Justified favouritism over 2m5f on this card last year (good to soft), and added a Catterick stayers' event in the winter, both off 4lb lower; all wins on good to soft and soft but last month's Sedgefield second on good was the equal of his peak soft-ground form; chance. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Point, bumper and dual chase winner at up to 3m1f, all on slow ground; below par at Kelso latest (2m5f, good to soft); on a competitive mark if bouncing back but will need to produce better than he has previously done on good going. |
7/2 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive in cheekpieces this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and posting a good second at Sedgefield (3m2f, soft) last time; it's possible the first-time blinkers will prompt a positive reaction today but he's up in grade and a career best is necessary. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Sole success over hurdles came here over two years ago and his best effort came when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last July; well beaten in three runs since, the latest on chase debut at Taunton in November; cheekpieces worn last time are left off and doesn't appeal for win purposes. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Did not progress after winning 2m3f maiden in spring 2024 but ran big race in defeat over C&D (good) in July and is probably still well treated after subsequent 3lb rise; raced only on good/good to soft. |

12th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Left Dan Skelton after two disappointing maiden runs and was pulled up (albeit on heavy ground) when 50-1 for stable/handicap debut in December (1m7f); upped in trip with headgear added here. |
