24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Landed novices at Huntingdon and Kelso in spring 2024 for Patrick Neville but off since posting a solid sixth in 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen over two years ago; the market can guide on this comeback run for new yard. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Came good over hurdles at seventh attempt, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November; disappointed on only appearance this year (in February) but current mark ought to be workable if he's back on song. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won under Jamie Gambin at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November on second stable start and second outing since returning from long absence; seventh of nine at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) since but beaten just under 4l and that was a warmer race than this; could have a part to play. |
8/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced point winner who showed promise under rules for Sandy Thomson and was second at Perth (2m4f, good) in July 2024 on his final run for that yard; however, has a hefty absence to defy on this stable debut. |

20th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won over fences at Kelso (2m7f, good) in May but was pulled up when bidding to follow up and has been well held in two starts back over hurdles since returning from a break; hasn't totally convinced over fences and has a bit to prove on recent evidence. |
16/1 |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Not wholly convincing as a chaser over the past year, even in victory at Kelso (2m7f, good); backed out of things some way out returned to hurdles at Cartmel latest, and others convince more just now. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Wide-margin chase winner at Kelso (2m7f, good) in May, but pulled up after jumping poorly on next outing and now back hurdling; has something to prove but was placed off today's mark here (2m6f, soft) last summer. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has taken well to fences, winning by 11l here on his chase debut (good) before finishing a clear second (again over C&D) last time; went up 9lb for his win and another 4lb for latest run but is one with a chance. |
11/4 |

2nd 7 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Returned from break with career-best performance this month, drawing clear to win by 11l over C&D (good) on chasing debut; 9lb higher in a higher-grade race today but could easily have more to offer over fences. |
7/2 |

1st 5 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two in a row over hurdles in October (2m5f/2m4f, good; including here) and ran pretty well when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November; unsuited by soft ground when below par at Musselburgh in December; could have a part to play if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

Two wins at Carlisle in November 2024 (2m1f, soft/good to soft); mixed form since, including over fences; sound run back hurdling at Carlisle in March (2m1f, soft), but poor next time and has since had wind surgery; bit to prove. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Third in two races at Hexham in May/June (both over 2m4f on good); had a wind operation in between; below par latest (11 days after second Hexham run); cheekpieces now tried; would be better off in a handicap. |
20/1 |

12th 3 |
4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Completed only one of his four Irish points; made low-key start over hurdles in May but he's shown promise at Hexham (2m4f, good) since including a close third last time, on his first run after wind surgery; should have more to offer in this sphere and he's in the mix. |
4/1 |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Completed only one of his four Irish points and was soundly beaten on last month's rules debut but outran 66-1 odds when placed over C&D (good) a few days later, and that piece of form brings him into the equation. |

Gave pretty good account before fading into fifth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) on Tuesday but he's 0-11 over hurdles now and has to compete from just out of the weights. |
