15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Useful Flat racer who is still unexposed over hurdles and was close second in Perth handicap (2m, good) on latest outing two months ago; only 2lb higher here and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Smart handicapper on the Flat; a tad disappointing so far over hurdles given his ability but was close up in a C&D handicap three months ago when a stronger pace would have suited; could yet raise his profile in this discipline; 2lb out of the weights. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful Flat performer (second in the 2024 Northumberland Plate); not as good over hurdles so far, winning over 2m at Ayr on debut in November (good; first run after wind surgery) and last time finishing runner-up at Kelso (2m, good); quite interesting on h'cap debut. |

12st 0lb |
Pulled up on handicap debut for James Ewart in March but made short-odds favourite work very hard when second in C&D maiden (good ground) for new yard this month; player if in same form on today's slower ground. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed on first two of his three hurdling starts for James Ewart last season (2m/2m1f); disappointed when upped to 2m5f for handicap debut in March and was sold for £5,000 in May but can be competitive here if back on song for new stable; tongue-tie fitted. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Irish point winner in May 2024 (3m, good); mainly disappointing over hurdles, particularly last season when back after wind surgery; visor now tried. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Point winner; showed a bit in novice hurdles in November 2024 but tailed off in a novice hurdle and pulled up in a handicap chase in two outings this season over four months apart; fitted with first-time cheekpieces back hurdling; plenty to prove at present. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Tailed off in a novice hurdle here in November when back from an absence and this is his first run since; however, he showed some ability in novice hurdles in November 2024 and this point winner could improve for the switch to fences; interesting contender on handicap debut. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ran very poorly on handicap debut in December and not seen again since but remains very unexposed (particularly over this sort of trip) and is worth a glance in the betting; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Kept on too strongy for Storm The Dug over C&D (good) in April, getting off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt, but was well held (albeit on soft ground) at Hexham last month; others have more potential. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Off the mark over hurdles at 12th attempt, with clearcut success at Perth (2m, good) last month; 8lb rise demands more from her here but something may have clicked. |
4/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Remains a maiden after 12 starts but she ran well when fourth at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last month and could get closer to the target today if staying straight (hung badly left on the run-in last time). |
