17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Inconsistent this season and down the field at Haydock a fortnight ago; however, he ran pretty well when runner-up at Doncaster two starts ago and is 2lb lower than when a close fourth of 13 in this race last year; if he's on song in a first-time tongue-tie he might not be far away. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Short-headed on his only start here; won a Hexham chase in October; hasn't done as well since, finishing runner-up to Jakar Du Moulin when returned to hurdling at Doncaster (3m) on latest start but he needs to build on that markedly; stable in good form. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won a Hexham novice handicap chase in October (2m4f); hasn't done as well since but reverts to hurdling off a feasible mark; this good ground suits and stable going well, so an interesting candidate. |

Recorded a 5l success in heavy-ground Irish point four months ago on third attempt; subsequently sold for £30,000; new yard also runs Two Auld Pals; heed the market signals. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders when last seen in the winter but returns from 12-week break on a good mark and is versatile regarding ground; gained his only hurdle win over C&D; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time Flat winner who has a consistent profile over hurdles; handles soft ground but has a bit to find with He's Bresilian on last month's Ayr form. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 |
25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Showed fair form at a juvenile hurdler two seasons ago, winning at Hexham in March 2024 (2m, heavy); didn't progress in handicaps after that; has since won twice over 1m5f on the Flat at Hamilton (good/soft) but below his best on last two Flat runs. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Determined last-gasp Newcastle winner in February 2025 (2m1f, good to soft), and recent Hexham third on sole run since was much more promising than the 31l distance beaten might imply (rallied after late blunder); may be a case of whether this longer trip is within range now. |

3rd 4 |
9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo who returned from a layoff to open account at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February 2025; not seen since but may still have potential and can evidently go well when fresh. |

10st 7lb |
Won a Flat race in 2023 but is 0-21 over hurdles; tailed off on last two starts, admittedly in a maiden last time after four months off but he does not look a solid option; tongue tied first time. |

Won on the Flat in 2023 but is 0-20 over hurdles, including several chances off lowly handicap marks; difficult to enthuse over. |

8th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Showed minor promise in bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies but was tailed off over C&D when 200-1 for recent stable/hurdle debut. |

26th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Needs major improvement on the form he showed in three bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies; joined new stable for £1,500; best watched. |
