28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
A three-time hurdles winner (around 2m) last season; failed to go on in three starts over fences this term and he was pulled up back in this sphere at Warwick (2m5f) last month; player in this grade if first-time cheekpieces spark a revival. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won three novice hurdles last season and was highly tried in his defeats; it's been a mixed start over fences (after wind surgery), let down by his jumping on handicap debut latest; probably worthy of this mark and he's back over hurdles. |

11st 11lb |
Irish point winner (3m, good to yielding) in May 2024; won a Carlisle novice in February last year (2m1f, good to soft) and should come on for his latest fifth in a Catterick handicap (2m3f, soft) when returning after a wind op; tongue-tie now tried. |

Irish point winner in May 2024 (3m, good to yielding); won a novice hurdle at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last season; sound reappearance run when second at Kelso (2m, soft) and returns after a short break having had wind surgery; step up in trip should suit; contender. |

The first and latest of his three attempts over hurdles showed some ability, when staying on without threatening in 2m races, but others in this have shown more; hooded first time. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-8 over hurdles but was in contention when stumbling/falling just after two out at Bangor (2m3f, good) in April, and returned from a break with a fairly encouraging run three weeks ago; can go well off current mark if that recent outing brought him on. |

0-8 but was in contention when stumbling/falling just after two out at Bangor (2m3f, good) in April and he ran well prior to fading late on there (2m3f, good) in May when last seen; not ruled out now back down in trip. |

Beaten about 25l in first two handicaps but seemed to be moving into contention before stumbling and falling just after penultimate flight over C&D (good) last month; must be considered after that improvement. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins in the mud and the latest was from the front on heavy ground at this track (2m4f) last February; made a creditable chase/seasonal debut over 3m in December but two muted performances (chase/hurdles) have followed and a big revival is needed in the first-time headgear. |

Dual hurdle/bumper winner on soft/heavy ground and could be happy to see the back of fences (last two runs); he's not handicapped out of it. |

Joined Dan Skelton after winning soft-ground Irish point in April; well beaten in three novice/maiden hurdles this autumn (2m-2m3f) but it won't be a surprise if she gets much more competitive on this handicap debut. |

10st 13lb |
1-9 over hurdles; shaped with clear promise on chase debut when second at Uttoxeter (3m, good) 24 days ago; drop in trip shouldn't be an inconvenience and a bold bid to go one better can be expected. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

Battled well to win over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and also ran well when clear second to next-time-out winner at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in March; moves back up in trip for this chasing debut and has Irish pointing experience to call upon; high on the list. |

Game in winning at the eighth attempt at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; 11-4 favourite) two months ago; subsequent 4lb rise looks fair and cheekpieces go on (has twice worn a hood in the past); should be thereabouts. |
