18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner (including this race in 2024); good third to Halfway House over C&D in May, after a break, but pulled up after looking reluctant (not for the first time) at Hexham last month and comes with risk. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won off this mark (beat No Regrets by a neck) over C&D in May 2023; struggled last year, often pulling up, but gave an indication he's back in better shape when third to the in-form Halfway House Lad at Cartmel (3m1f, good; 20-1) a fortnight ago; worthy of inspection. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went down narrowly after a good tussle with stablemate Lights Are Green at Cartmel (3m1f, good) last month; softer ground, and a swift turnaround valid excuses for a lesser effort next time; 1-1 at Perth with weights rise effectively offset through Ed Austin's 5lb claim. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up three consecutive times in October-June but, with cheekpieces refitted, revived with game effort in defeat over 3m1f here on Saturday; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood today but he can cope with the drop back in trip and remains well handicapped on old form. |

Placed in three good-ground chases last year, most notably when close second at Sedgefield (2m5f) in October, but has looked out of sorts lately; leap of faith to support him. |

Made it 0-5 over fences when pulled up at Catterick last month but this course hurdle winner was running well in chases previously, finishing second at Sedgefield two starts ago; in the mix if bouncing back. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Not the easiest to win with (has won three times but second on 12 occasions); good run when second to an in-form horse at Hexham last time; each-way chance. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Winner here in the past, and obviously weighted to strike again off his new career-low mark; just 3-38 over fences, however, and recent return after 14 months off (stable debut) wasn't majorly encouraging. |
33/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Back on the lowly mark off which he snapped a long losing run in December 2024 at Carlisle (3m2f, soft); remains to be seen what ability remains on this stable debut following 14 months out. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 110y |
11st 9lb |
Two of three hurdles victories have come over C&D, including last time when winning off a mark of 109 (good); a pair of decent runs in defeat in prior chasing starts; he's in fine spirits at the moment and loves this track so has a lot going for him but softer conditions would pose a question. |
4/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Chasing the last twice, going close over 2m7f here and then a rallying third at Tramore (2m6f); won back-to-back handicap hurdles earlier this year but his mark took a knock and those recent chasing exploits were off much lower ratings; can still run well with a solid course record. |
3/1 |
|

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Gained back-to-back wins over hurdles in April/May, here off 88 (21.5f, yielding) and off 100 at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); now rated 109 over timber; denied by a head off lower chase mark by Thehairyfella on latest; up 3lb for that but good chance off 19lb lower chase mark. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up on all three starts pointing in Ireland; best hurdles run when third at Ayr in January (2m4f, heavy) but modest run in a Kilbeggan mares' maiden last time (2m3f, good to yielding; rider said hung left throughout); a possible on chase debut. |

Formerly with Neil Mulholland; finished around 15l behind Beat The Retreat when third of 14 on stable/handicap debut here (2m2f, soft) 13 days ago; improvement needed, but the step back up in trip should suit and she is now 7lb better off; shortlisted. |

Not one to rely on and his recent form over fences is far from encouraging; handily weighted though if back on his A-game reverted to this sphere. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

6th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Flattered to deceive on a few occasions over hurdles and doesn't seem to see his races out; again weakened to be fourth on last month's chase debut at Southwell (2m4f, good); this longer trip may prove beneficial and he has dropped to a workable mark; each-way player. |

14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
