13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won from the front at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft; front pair clear) in February and was third under much more patient ride at Ayr (2m, soft) last month; may not want the ground to dry out here but otherwise she's likely to be on the premises again. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Belatedly regained the winning thread at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) but was able to dictate the pace; chance of following up may depend on whether she gets another easy lead. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Usually gives her running but just 1-12 over hurdles and she lost two places late on when fourth at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) just after Christmas; more required. |

3rd 13 |
18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Improved form to get off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Wetherby (3m, soft) in February; hit with a 7lb rise but the short-head runner-up Diamond Dealer went one better next time and this 6yo is in good hands to continue to progress; respected. |

1st 5 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Went close over hurdles at Perth (3m, soft) in October before promising fourth on chase debut at Kelso (2m7f, soft) in a race that worked out well; looked short of pace on ground that was good to soft, good in places at Haydock (3m1f) last time, finishing soundly beaten in third (Ski Lodge second); could be in the mix if today's conditions place greater emphasis on stamina. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Easy win at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last October and he's continued to run well (soft/good to soft), finishing 11l fourth of 17 at Haydock (2m5f) in January on his last handicap start; not ruled out each-way although there's a suspicion he's vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip. |

3rd 3 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
In good form in handicaps this season, winning easily at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in October and running well in defeat at Haydock (2m3f/2m5f, good to soft) on his last two starts; also effective on soft; has been shaping as though this drop back in trip could suit; major player. |
5/1 |

4th 4 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has shown improvement this term and was collared only in the final strides at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) most recently, having been mostly clear from four out; likely player provided he stays this new trip. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Well beaten at triple-digit odds in two slow-ground hurdles this spring (both 2m); needs this quicker surface to enable massive improvement. |

22nd May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Tailed off on debut in a Wetherby bumper and pulled up at 200-1 on hurdles debut at Hexham (2m, heavy; five runners); safer to look elsewhere. |
