19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
2024 C&D winner; promising third when returning from a 15-month absence at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, in this headgear combination, proving he retains a good chunk of his ability; however, he'll need to quickly bounce back from a lesser effort at Perth last time, which tempers enthusiasm. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Only win was over 2m7f at Hexham in June 2024 (good); fair third at Wetherby last time (3m, good); chance on his best form but soft ground not ideal. |

4th Oct 2024 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Just one win from 11 starts over hurdles but that came at this track (2m) in May and he was a creditable second behind Jeteye over C&D (good) the following month; now returns after 103 days off but he's unexposed as a stayer and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; yard won this last year. |

Came good over hurdles at ninth attempt, beating Dapper Gent in 2m seller here (good to soft) last month; stayed on for respectable sixth of 14 when back in a handicap here (2m, good) later in May but has stamina to prove today. |

Seems well suited by this track but was well beaten on last month's chasing debut at Carlisle (2m5f, good) and is now 0-25 under all codes; 3lb out of the weights today; others preferred. |

Made the frame four consecutive times over hurdles in early part of last season, once over C&D (good to firm) off his lowly handicap mark; absent since September and not favoured by the weights today but might collect another minor prize. |

Still a maiden and he underwent wind surgery before pulled up in 3m2f Sedgefield handicap chase in January; not one to rely on. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-24 under all codes; gave fairly good account of himself when fourth over C&D (soft; beaten about 16l) last month but is effectively 4lb higher from further out of the weights today and needs subsequent wind operation to have made a difference. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Justified favouritism over 2m5f on this card last year (good to soft), and added a Catterick stayers' event in the winter, both off 4lb lower; all wins on good to soft and soft but last month's Sedgefield second on good was the equal of his peak soft-ground form; chance. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Point, bumper and dual chase winner at up to 3m1f, all on slow ground; below par at Kelso latest (2m5f, good to soft); on a competitive mark if bouncing back but will need to produce better than he has previously done on good going. |
7/2 |
|
7th 10 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive in cheekpieces this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and posting a good second at Sedgefield (3m2f, soft) last time; it's possible the first-time blinkers will prompt a positive reaction today but he's up in grade and a career best is necessary. |

All three wins have been over C&D, including in this race last season; shaped as though returning to form when sixth at Bangor last time; back on his last winning mark; one to consider. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
All three hurdle wins have been on slow ground at Hexham (2m7f) and latest was in October; only 2lb higher than for that success but he's been well held in his last two starts; may have needed the run at Carlisle last month but this is competitive and others are preferred. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Goes well fresh for he has won twice after a break over 2m7f at Hexham this season (good to soft); these conditions suit; should go well after another absence despite rise in grade and being 1lb out of the handicap. |

Made the frame on first two starts this season (3m2f/3m1f) and ran better than eventual 27l defeat might suggest when fifth at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; big player if combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear has desired effect. |

Rediscovered winning ways at Ayr (3m, soft; 5-1), that his second run back from a short break; the handicapper has responded with a 7lb rise, but this stablemate of Whiskey On Ice stays well and handles most ground conditions; likely to have a say in the finish. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden who was soundly beaten at Newcastle last time in a first-time hood (retained); however, he's run pretty well on both previous visits to Musselburgh and the tongue-tie is back on today, which he wore when a fair fourth over C&D (good to soft) in November; interesting contender. |

Has not shown a great deal in three maiden hurdles this year (2m2f-2m4f) but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and the longer trip and/or first-time tongue-tie may enable improvement; worth a glance in the betting. |
