2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won in good style at Ayr (3m, soft) in January and he's also effective on good to soft ground; however, this 10yo has been pulled up/soundly beaten on his last two starts and needs to get back on track. |

Beat a subsequent winner when scoring at Ayr two runs back (3m, soft) but pulled up over same C&D last time; needs to bounce back. |

10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won this 12 months ago (good to soft) and only his third run in the meantime when well on top again here in early January (soft); 6lb rise elevates him to a career-high mark but he should still have every chance. |

0-18 over fences and hasn't been shaping of late as though a win is imminent; 10lb out of the handicap today and hard to fancy. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-19 over fences; ended a sequence failing to finish when a well-beaten fourth on first run back after a wind op at Ayr last time (3m, soft); 9lb out of the handicap and plenty to prove. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Scored over hurdles here back in 2023 but he remains winless over fences and was tongue tied when pulled up over C&D in January; needs a subsequent wind operation to spark major improvement. |

1-12 as a chaser; good and bad in his last six races over hurdles, finishing tailed off in the last two; risky. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (once each) from 35 races; his last win was in 2024 but bits of form this year, including penultimate start, give him an each-way chance. |
10/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); has struggled with consistency, but a leading player if reproducing his latest third of eight at Exeter last month. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; didn't get very far at Listowel two weeks ago but was badly hampered by a faller and he was heavily backed in that competitive race; still looks on a workable mark and this admirable veteran is a key player for in-form yard. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth 19 days ago (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; this will take more winning but if as good again he'll be involved. |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
C&D winner last July for a sixth win over fences but has been absent since finishing tailed off later that month; on a good mark and best to let the market guide as to his current wellbeing. |

Bumper (yielding) and 2m7f chase (good) winner who is hard to make a strong case for based on three starts since a lengthy absence. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Bagged a second C&D victory in November but his more recent form is less encouraging, only sixth over C&D last time; handily weighted if getting back on track, though. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways over C&D in November and posted a respectable sixth of ten in 3m Musselburgh handicap chase following month; much respected for his in-form yard after a break. |

Three-time chase winner who enjoys good ground and returned to form with a solid third at Carlisle (3m); off the same mark he merits attention. |

Won a couple of 2m4f chases for Jackie Stephen; sound run when 2l second at Catterick in November (3m1f, good) but disappointing since; plenty to prove now. |

33-1 runner-up to I See The Sea over C&D in November; however, two lesser performances have followed and this 11yo needs to get back on track. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Well beaten on both starts for this stable in the autumn (2m4f/2m5f) and not seen again since; back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted today; 3lb wrong; needs to prove some ability remains. |
