31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |

Only previous win was over 3m but off this mark; stopped the rot when beaten 5l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby and he's effective at this trip. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a maiden hurdle on stable debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) in October and bounced back from a flop over fences when third of five in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in January, when jumping to the right; the return to a right-handed track is a likely plus and she's high on the list. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed zero enthusiasm for fences in two attempts, pulling up at Uttoxeter last month, but she might well recover quickly now back hurdling, as in a similar situation in the past; stays 3m2f on soft and has a good run in her off current mark; cheekpieces refitted. |

Placed on consecutive outings after her narrow win at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in November but looked out of sorts on her last two outings and needs to have been refreshed by a 12-week break. |

Disappointing at Wetherby last month but in good form previously, winning there in November (2m5f, good) before two good thirds at Carlisle (good to soft/soft); could bounce back with a big performance. |

Beat Guernesey (2lb better off) by a neck at Hexham in December (2m7f, heavy) but pulled up both starts since (tried in new headgear last time); cheekpieces back on but plenty to prove at present. |

Won narrowly at Hexham in December (2m7f, heavy) but a nothing run behind Shoeshine Boy here underlined his inconsistency; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time point winner who's been thereabouts in a couple of his handicaps this season, most recently when second at Wetherby (2m4f, soft) on Boxing Day; not so good on his next two outings and ran poorly in a maiden on latest, so needs to stop the rot. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time point winner who has run some good races in defeat in handicaps this season and was stretched by 3m last time; he's 0-11 under rules and exposed but is in with an each-way shout this afternoon. |

10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |

No wins in ten over hurdles but nearly put that right on Boxing Day (2m3f, soft) and didn't run too badly at Catterick having been hassled up front; probably stays this far. |

10st 8lb |
1-20 over fences and although he finished second here (4m) in March, he has run below that since at Carlisle and back over hurdles at Perth; requires an extreme test to be seen at his best. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both hurdle wins came over 3m/3m1f on soft back in 2022; fair second in a 4m h'cap chase at Hexham last month (soft), but not so good last time. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on second (no threat to winner) at Hexham (4m, soft) last month and is also well suited by this track but is far too inconsistent to rely upon and would appeal more on soft/heavy ground. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
No longer the force of old and very inconsistent nowadays but battled well for narrow C&D (soft) win over Judicial Review last month, his fifth course success; also suited by good ground and recent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Four course wins, the latest over C&D in summer 2023; very much on the downgrade now, though, and never really looked dangerous when plugging on for modest third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday. |
