Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Winless since May 2024 and he's not proving easy to catch right this season, a below-par sixth in 2m3f Carlisle handicap hurdle 20 days ago. |

On a near two-year losing spell and isn't certain to confirm last-time placings with Ryebridge, who is less exposed; that said, again has an each-way squeak. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Made the frame in two handicaps at Catterick (1m7f/2m3f, good/soft) in January before respectable third in claimer there (1m7f, good); continues to edge down weights and might not be far away; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

1-21 over hurdles, her win coming at Catterick in February; creditable efforts on all three runs since, including when second over C&D last month (good); sound run at Perth last time (2m5f, good); chance. |

Just one win from her 19 hurdle starts but that came at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in February and she made a bad mistake when fourth at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) next time; she'll be fine now back up in trip and back on better ground, and could give a good account. |

10st 7lb |
Won over hurdles in a first-time tongue-strap (retained since) at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December; however, two below-par runs have followed and he now goes over fences; others may have more potential. |

Enhanced his good record at Sedgefield when winning there in a first-time tongue-tie on Boxing Day on his first crack at 2m4f (good to soft); however, tailed off at Catterick since on soft ground he should have handled, and he needs to bounce back with a visor now added. |

Low-grade Flat winner last summer; respectable second to short-odds favourite on hurdle debut in the autumn but subsequent hurdle/Flat form has been disappointing; makes handicap hurdle debut today. |

Four-time AW winner including in this race in 2023; went close over 1m2f here in April but he's lost his way since and has been beaten 15l or more in three runs for current yard; cheekpieces are now reapplied and he needs a major revival. |

Tailed off in a Carlisle bumper (2m1f, soft) in February, and pulled up when switched to hurdles at Ayr (2m4f, heavy; 100-1) a few weeks later; encounters better ground in newly applied headgear, but it's tough to consider this stablemate of Byron Hill. |

Winning pointer who displayed significant promise on first two of three hurdling starts for Simon Waugh in the spring (2m4f/2m); a possible improver in handicaps for new stable. |

Point winner (3m, good) who was sold for £28,000; has fared okay on first two starts for this trainer (who saddled a winner at Hexham on Saturday) without necessarily threatening to trouble the principals; others make more appeal. |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed ability in a Navan maiden (1m5f, good) in May 2022 but he missed 2023 and has struggled in four novice hurdles for new yard this year; now switches to a handicap back on the Flat but he has lots to prove; first-time blinkers. |

Modicum of ability for Johnny Murtagh on the Flat (0-3) in Ireland; pulled up on both starts over hurdles (2m-2m2f, soft) for this trainer; no obvious reason as to why he should fare any better here. |

Fared respectably on first few starts for Chris Grant in late 2022, including when runner-up to a long odds-on favourite at Hexham (2m, soft; beaten 22l); always behind and pulled up on recent return to action, so probably needs more time to recapture peak form; look elsewhere. |

Improved form switched to front-running tactics at Kelso (good) this term, winning over 2m then close third over 2m2f; may have more to offer; likely player. |
