20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Tailed off when back over hurdles at Sedgefield last month and something to prove after that; however, he's 2lb lower than for his ready win over fences here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and shouldn't be discounted. |

Won a handicap chase at Musselburgh in December (2m7f, good to soft); shapes as though this trip will suit, is 7lb lower over hurdles and could go well. |

11st 13lb |
Took step back in right direction when respectable fourth at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 1lb below his last winning mark but still needs to build upon that recent effort here. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Launched hurdling career with two good-ground Perth wins last summer (2m4f/2m) and was creditable third on handicap debut at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November; off for 258 days since but remains open to improvement; major player if fully tuned up. |

9st 5lb |
First four wins came over hurdles but he proved he could do it on the Flat when successful at Catterick (1m4f, heavy) in April; finished last of seven (behind three of these) on stable debut over C&D last month and needs to do much better. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

25th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three wins in early part of last year, including quite valuable final of this Brindisi Breeze series at Musselburgh (3m, soft); back on a good mark now but has largely been disappointing this season and needs to up his game. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
12yo who exploited a career-low mark in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since) at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November and followed up there (3m, good to soft) in December, making all under Oscar Palmer each time; he's a player if resuming where he left off. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not the force of old but, following a wind operation, arrested decline and was placed twice at Hexham (2m4f; stays 3m) in the spring; absent since falling quite heavily there in May but has a fighting chance if ready to roll. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who has dropped to a mark 5lb lower than when winning on his chase debut last February; he may stage a revival at some stage but has struggled over fences/hurdles on his three runs this season. |
50/1 |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |

Returns to hurdles off a workable mark but, judged on his chase efforts this term, has a doubt over current form. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |

Jumped okay when winning at Newcastle (chase debut) but lacked fluency when disappointing at Wetherby since; not sure what to expect. |
