20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Readily drew clear to win valuable series final by 9l at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 2-5 over fences; went up 11lb for that but could have untapped potential over this longer trip; respected. |

Record of 132 since wearing tongue-tie and cheekpieces, beaten only narrowly by Trac over C&D most recently; raced just four times over fences and may do better still; possibilities in the retained headgear. |

Improving sort beat Rocheval over 2m6f at Kelso last time; ground-versatile and should go well if coping with this shorter trip (has won at 2m); yard has done well at this meeting over the years. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Off the mark over fences at third attempt, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in December, and posted another good effort when third at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) last month; respected. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 2-5 since wearing cheekpieces, the wins over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last April and over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) latest start; may show further improvement in this sphere; respected in the retained headgear. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Helped by cheekpieces when second and first in handicap and maiden company respectively over hurdles in the spring; drops in distance for chase debut and that's a concern. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
17-race maiden under rules; reached the frame on numerous occasions over fences but he was beaten 21l when third at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago; should be fine back on the forecast quicker ground but he needs to get back near his best. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

16-race maiden under rules; placed in six of his nine races over fences; fair fourth of five to a subsequent dual winner at Wetherby last time (1m7f, good); each-way chance. |
5/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Well capable of being involved, as his close third at Catterick on most recent attempt over 1m7f attests; the negative is that he's a fairly exposed maiden whose latest defeat took chase record to 0-8. |

11st 3lb |
Won at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in December and continued to run well when upped in trip the next twice (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft); also effective on good ground; this unexposed 6yo holds each-way claims once more. |

10st 4lb |
0-7 over hurdles; placed twice off today's mark at start of this year (1m7f/2m, good to soft) but absent since a fall in March; tongue-tie fitted for first time here. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Third on good to soft at Catterick (2m) and Southwell (2m1f) in the last two of her three handicaps; not so good over this sort of trip on previous two outings but worth a second look. |
8/1 |

3rd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up on the Flat last September and he's been in top form over hurdles of late at Market Rasen, winning two in a row (2m/2m4f, good) before finishing second on his last start; respected back in this code. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick. |
100/30 |

1st 5 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher. |

10st 10lb |
Won three times last season (2m1f-2m4f), most recently at Carlisle on good to soft ground in March; although only sixth off this mark over 2m4f last month he was not beaten far and remains one to consider. |

Got back on the up with a third success of the season in 2m1f handicap at Carlisle 20 days ago; up another 4lb but this course winner is a likely player once more for his in-form yard. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Moderate form prior to wind surgery but appeared to have benefited from that when running on to be a close second here (2m4f, soft) recently; step up in trip looks positive; up 2lb but he's a player if backing that up. |
