11st 4lb |
Prominent-racer who is unbeaten in three starts for Harry Derham (1m7f-2m1f, good-soft), most recently beating five rivals at Musselburgh in January; today is a much tougher test of his credentials but this 6yo C&D winner is clearly thriving and could continue to improve for his up-and-coming yard. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Latest of five wins was off 6lb lower over 2m3f at Bangor in May (good); has won twice here (2m) and, although a 2m5f winner, didn't run up to form only previous start at 3m; wouldn't rule out on first run after wind op. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Six months off before a win at Bangor (2m4f) in May and still going well when she fell four out in another 2m4f handicap there four weeks ago; this course winner must enter calculations in refitted cheekpieces. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Returned from six-month break with career-best performance in May, winning readily by 5l over C&D (good), and is now 5-13 over hurdles; recent 8b rise asks a question of her but she's evidently in very good nick. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Not yet proven over this far but ran quite well when third (albeit well held in the end) at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in August and is now back on same mark as for narrow course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; no surprise if he features. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor run in June but has largely consistent record since switched to fences last autumn and seems versatile regarding trip; raced mainly on good ground but handles good to soft; could have a say. |
8/1 |

4th 3 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who had been in a good run of form until last time, though the winner of that Hereford race ran well in the Swinton last weekend; can go well if taking to fences. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Won three on the bounce earlier this season and probably produced even better form in defeat at Kempton recently behind one in form; solid chance. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
A three-time winner over hurdles, he made a pleasing chase debut when runner-up here (2m4f, good) last month; should be suited by the step up in trip and holds decent claims. |

2nd 6 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |

Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Fairly treated on some of his form but was very disappointing when dropped into a Class 4 here last time and his previous run was no better. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Fairly treated and some fair efforts at 2m4f/2m5f before struggling back over 2m in a Class 2; that's readily forgiven and he'll probably run well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
0-11 since winning on hurdle debut in October 2022 but he ran pretty well when third at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month following wind surgery; he's in with an each-way shout if backing up that latest performance. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He's won just one of his 18 starts and could do with settling better; however, he took a step back in the right direction when fifth of nine at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day and has had wind surgery since; also effective on soft ground; might not be far away. |
11/1 |

11th 5 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden on the Flat; placed in three handicap hurdles last season for Alan King so has a race in him off this mark and new trainer (after £14,000 sale) has booked Sam Twiston-Davies; could be interesting. |
15/2 |
