8th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Kelso novice hurdle in first-time cheekpieces last May (2m1f, good to soft); disappointing all three starts since, the second over 2m6f on soft at Newcastle; new headgear needs to bring about improvement. |

10yo who won a Kelso novice hurdle last May but has been below that level since in handicaps over fences and hurdles; does have placed form in handicaps in this discipline but last two runs were offputting. |

Without a win on the Flat since 2021 and he came in only ninth of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap 23 days ago; others appeal more. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent hurdler who returned to the Flat with respectable fourth (just behind Penelope's Sister) over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower today and might be better suited by the slightly slower ground; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 3-54 but he's been placed over hurdles in his last two runs and is well handicapped on his best Flat form in 2025; hard to rule out back in this sphere and he has won at this track. |

Has won five chases at up to 2m3f but rather disappointing on last three starts (cheekpieces tried last time, but left off here); well treated on his best form but bit to prove back over hurdles. |

Five-time chase winner; needs to better his recent efforts but has conditions to suit here and has slipped to a very tempting mark; could be very dangerous if perked up by first-time cheekpieces. |

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. |

Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, but ran poorly when dropped back to 2m last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on first attempt at 3m under rules. |

Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March; should be okay back at 2m on this stiff track but 7lb rise demands more from him. |
