10st 13lb |
Gained a breakthrough success at Wetherby (2m) in March 2024 for Mark Walford; very lightly raced since though and off 13 months before a well-held sixth for his new yard in 2m2f Haydock handicap 20 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

11st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 9yo who won a Wetherby maiden hurdle (2m, soft) for Mark Walford just under two years ago; signed off for that yard (same owner) after some poor efforts, however, so interesting to see what he can do for new stable after 397 days away. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Back in prime form since swapping cheekpieces for a visor in June, winning here (2m5f, good) before commendable third in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (nearly 2m7f, good); unraced beyond 3m but soft ground won't faze him and he can make a bold bid from the front. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Win/placed form in his usual cheekpieces before making all for a narrow success in the newly fitted visor (with tongue-tie worn for last seven starts) at Cartmel (2m5f, good); he's getting high in the weights now (raised another 4lb) and he won't be the only one racing prominently. |

In fine fettle in recent runs, landing his fifth win over fences at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and placed since at Aintree and Perth; swaps cheekpieces for a first-time visor and looks sure to give another good account. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Lightly raced since he was placed in two Irish points in 2022 but made quite promising chase/handicap debut when third here (2m1f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March; absent for 11 weeks since but ought to be suited by today's step up in trip. |

Very unexposed 7yo; showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden/novice hurdles this season (2m-2m1f) but was placed in two Irish points in 2022 and is open to improvement on this chase/handicap debut; tongue-tie fitted. |

11st 6lb |
Pounced late at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February 2025; steadily working back after a lengthy absence, with his Uttoxeter third (2m4f) last time a creditable effort; stamina reserves untested over 3m. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

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. |

In fine form earlier this year, notching a hurdles hat-trick at Sedgefield (2m1f-2m4f; rising 16lb); reportedly stopped quickly when beaten favourite over 2m here (last of 12, beaten 42l) in June; it's possible that we might see the best version of this 6yo off a ten-week absence. |
