5th 4 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Generally productive over hurdles but last few efforts leave a doubt over whether he'll be in top form returned to the Flat for first time since winning at Redcar (1m6f, soft) in November 2024. |
14/1 |

4th 6 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has won five of his 17 races over hurdles, including at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) and off 7lb lower at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) this season; not at his best on last two runs but could bounce back. |
5/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten at Catterick last month but perhaps that run came too soon, just six days after he completed a double in good style at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft); third in this last year and he could be involved. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to win over fences, but creditable second at Wetherby in March (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces tried); has had wind surgery since fair fourth at Carlisle last month (3m, good; blinkers on); tongue-tie plus cheekpieces this time; chance. |
5/2 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Improved on first chase run when second of four at Wetherby last time (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces first time, wasn't fluent); blinkers now tried; quite interesting. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Beaten 13l when fifth of 11 on last month's chase debut at Chepstow (2m7f, soft); however, that performance gives this two-time hurdle winner something to build on and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will help. |

3rd 7 |
18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Fair Flat-racer who has made the frame on all five hurdling starts, most recently when close third at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in May; that form isn't anything out of the ordinary but, nevertheless, he has each-way claims again. |
4/1 |

7th 5 (2) |
27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ran creditably last month at Doncaster (1m4f) and Cartmel (2m1f novice hurdle); not far away on that evidence but others are preferred for the win. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
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. |
10/1 |

11th 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
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. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Reportedly had breathing issue when well beaten at Perth last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but his clear second to next-time-out winner Ruler Legend over C&D (good) two starts ago was a good effort; big player if back at that level. |
4/1 |

8th 12 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-8 over hurdles but has posted some good performances this season, most recently runner-up at Market Rasen (2m, good) 18 days ago; also effective on soft ground; makes a lot more appeal than most of these. |

Made encouraging hurdle debut for Alan King in 2022 but has struggled this season, most recently when 50-1 for handicap debut at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in July; moves up in trip here. |

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. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

100/1 |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
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. |
