7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Close second at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bounced back from Ascot blip when third at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) recently, albeit soundly beaten by the first two; the step back up in trip might help and he's a possible player if conditions suit; unproven on soft ground. |

Unproven on soft ground and tailed off at Ascot last time, although that was in a hot Class 2; went close in Class 3 at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago and not ruled out now back down in grade. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Flagbearer for the yard, winning two Morebattles at Kelso and a Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr; however, he's failed to find his best form this season, including only sixth in the latest running of the Morebattle 13 days ago; respectable seventh in this last year; others are more obvious. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Not at his best this season but Haydock last month was a step back in the right direction, after a wind op; has won here four times, including the last two runnings of this race (good to soft), and he's 1lb lower than when winning the Scottish Champion Hurdle last April; major player. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |

Below par on both runs this season but has had wind surgery since and he's back down to the same mark as for his win in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft); not ruled out on this drop in grade. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easily made all in first-time visor (retained since) at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) last month and again ran well when fourth of five at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) since; looked at home over 3m6f earlier in the season; chance. |

Course scorer who resumed winning ways (in a first-time visor) in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase 20 days ago, making all and pulling right away from last as runner-up tired badly; up just 4lb here so big shout with headgear again sported. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |

He's run well in defeat on his last two starts, finishing fourth of nine at Newcastle (3m6f, good to soft) in November and second of 14 at Ayr (3m, soft) last time; he may well be in the mix in a first-time visor. |

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. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |

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. |

Won over hurdles at Southwell last March and fences at Cartmel last May; has dropped to a dangerous mark but he's been inconsistent over fences since that last win; reverts to hurdles and others are more compelling. |
