4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his third success over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) last month after his challenger fell at the last obstacle; up 7lb but still on the upgrade and should not be far away. |

1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Justified favouritism in 2m3f mares' handicap most recently, taking Wetherby record to 3121; faces a stiffer assignment in this field, back against males, but holds solid claims kept to this venue. |
12/1 |

1st 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
She could do with settling better but perhaps the heavy ground was too much at Newcastle last month; won C&D maiden (good to soft) in December 2024 and runner-up to handicap blot in C&D handicap (soft) in November; could bounce back and play a leading role now back here. |
100/30 |
|
5th 3 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
2m3f maiden hurdle winner who has shaped with promise in handicaps on both runs this season, most recently runner-up at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) behind a handicap blot; mark unchanged and she's a strong candidate. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Came good for current stable at Hexham (2m, good) last month, his second run in cheekpieces; up 4lb to career-high mark but will be suited by this move back up in trip and is evidently in good nick. |

1st 2 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
In the frame in four of his last five starts at up to 3m, last time finishing a head second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Market Rasen (2m4f, good); this drop in trip not sure to suit. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Didn't see out 3m when well-held third at Doncaster (good to soft) in March but ran well for a long way and is now back on same mark as for his clear second behind a useful rival there (2m3f, soft) in November; also suited by good ground; could be a tough nut to crack if aided by new cheekpieces. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; however, he's won twice this season (2m4f/2m5f, soft), the latest two starts ago; won on good ground last term and there can be hope that he's still okay at this sort of trip; in the mix if swiftly bouncing back. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Consistent 7yo and the horse he beat at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft; won on good) arrived there at the top of his game; may appreciate further these days but enters the equation; raised only 3lb. |

Debut runner-up in Newcastle bumper in 2022 but she failed to offer much in a pair of 2m novice hurdles at Wetherby and Catterick (hooded) last month; lots more is required. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won three C&D handicaps last year, including the corresponding race (ridden by Becky Smith) off today's mark; comes here on the back of a hat-trick of hurdle wins this summer; high on the list. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Fair Flat-racer who returned to hurdling with two fast-ground course wins (2m/2m2f) this season; drew nicely clear on run-in on latter occasion and commands respect in current mood. |
6/4 |

1st 8 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Five-time Flat winner (1m4f); justified strong market support when opening hurdles account here (2m, good to firm) in May, under Sean Bowen and shaping as though this longer trip would suit; up 6lb but remains capable of better after just eight starts in this sphere; leading contender. |
