18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Following wind surgery he returned to form to win in a small field at Kelso (2m5f, good) recently, and he's fine on slow ground and at this trip; however, from out of the handicap he's 10lb higher today and his profile suggests he'll be vulnerable back up in grade. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Pulled up in the Morebattle Hurdle here in February but he's had wind surgery since and this is a significant drop in grade; he's dropped down the weights and could bounce back with a big run for his in-form yard. |

Won C&D maiden hurdle and substandard Haydock Grade 2 in winter 2024-25; mixed form since but he was a good second on his chase debut at Ayr last month; first-fence unseat next time (hampered); he's dropped down the weights over hurdles and is not ruled out each-way in first-time cheekpieces. |

Hexham bumper winner for Stuart Coltherd; sets the benchmark, runner-up at Wetherby and Kelso (both 2m) in late 2024; marginally out of depth in The French Furze here (Class 2; 2m6f) in November; returns to a more appropriate level and is tongue-tied on first start for Sam England. |

Bumper form reads well and so too his seconds over hurdles, with both his conquerors progressing to bigger things (including a Grade 2 success); this longer trip won't be an issue and the only real concern is that he's been absent since December; effective on soft and good ground. |

Won a maiden hurdle at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last February and went close in a novice hurdle here (2m, good) next time; makes chase/handicap debut following a year off but with his trainer in phenomenal form; could have a big part to play, especially if strong in the betting. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced maiden who took too strong a hold when a fading fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh four weeks ago (good to soft); dropping back to 2m from 2m4f could work but this still commands a career best and by some way. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Returned from a year off in maiden hurdle over C&D (good to soft) last month and ran best race yet, finishing second in a first-time hood (retained); open to improvement, especially with her jumping, and she could be a contender now going handicapping for her respected stable. |

11st 10lb |
Made all to win a 2m novice hurdle here last April and follow-up effort when runner-up in a handicap at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) was promising; however, both hurdling efforts since haven't been so good and he was a mid-race faller on last month's chase debut; should stay this far and he's on a competitive mark if recapturing initial promise. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won the novice hurdle (2m, good) on this card 12 months ago; he needs to improve upon what he produced in two handicap hurdles in February but the return to Hexham could help and he might be suited by the switch to fences. |

Following wind surgery he took a step back in the right direction when 11l second over 2m at Ayr this month; needs to build on that latest performance but it's possible the step back up in trip will be a plus. |

11st 0lb |
Yet to win (0-12) but consistent enough since introduced to fences (32333U); this easing mark is helpful from a handicapping perspective but he needs to brush up his jumping - last two efforts in cheekpieces unconvincing - to threaten the principals. |

11-race maiden; placed on all five starts over fences this term, although was disappointing when last of three with cheekpieces tried at Ayr last time (2m4f, soft; didn't jump well); headgear retained; each-way chance. |

0-10 under all codes but made the frame in four consecutive chases this season, the last three over 3m here (soft/heavy); interesting to see whether combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces pays dividends. |

Went very close when upped to 3m at Musselburgh (good to soft) in December; also effective on soft ground; only fourth of eight at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) since and could do with settling better but not ruled out. |

Below form over hurdles here last month (2m, good) but had been running well over fences prior to that, with wins at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft; made all) and Southwell (2m, good); up in grade and 5lb out of the handicap, but could go well. |

Won on stable/chase debut at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) in February before bumping into progressive winner there (1m7f, good), and returned to winning ways at Southwell (2m, good) last month; 0-7 over hurdles but could be a very different proposition now; has same mark as last time. |
