18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won a Newcastle handicap over a similar trip last December off the same mark; best effort this year when second of five back at Newcastle three weeks ago; suspicion the 3yos will have his measure this time. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in December but he's returned from a layoff with two low-key runs this summer; only 1lb higher than for that last success but tailed off at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last month and needs a major revival. |

Returned from layoff with low-key turf run three weeks ago but won over about 1m4f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December and has obvious claims here if back at that level. |

Won 1m4f AW handicap for Ed Bethell in October 2024; no worthwhile form in three turf starts for Tim Easterby; folded tamely behind Church Mountain on stable debut last month. |

Won a 1m4f handicap on AW for Ed Bethell in October 2024; not so good in most recent runs, including three turf starts for Tim Easterby; makes stable debut now and perhaps return to AW can help. |

10st 0lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap on AW for Ed Bethell last October; not so good on his last four outings, with new stable for last two, and his record in turf handicaps suggests he is opposable. |

Has proved consistent on the AW since last September, including when winning at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) last month; has run well off this mark in both outings since and looks one for the shortlist. |

Been around a bit and has regressed sharply for this yard, mainly over hurdles; Sapphire Sirocco looks the more likkely of the stable pair. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not seen on the Flat since hard-fought course win (2m1f, soft) last summer but produced career-best hurdle performance when winning on good ground last month and is evidently in very good nick; respected. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip. |

9st 8lb |
A break may have helped and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Newcastle (2m, AW) last October; however, he was down the field there in December on his first two runs for this yard; something to prove on return. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Record of 32123 over 2m at Newcastle in his final five runs for D O'Meara; struggled on recent stable debut but the drop back to 1m4f was against him and he now takes a big step back up in trip; has claims if he can recapture his spark and he's not ruled out; visor the headgear of choice today. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the Flat here (2m, soft) in November; fourth on hurdle debut here (1m7f, good to soft) later that month and improved when runner-up at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in December; he's high on the list today. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course regular who landed a fourth win here (his third over this trip) when 28-1 and beating Edwardtheninth one month ago; flopped under a 5lb penalty the following week (Team Endeavour second) but that tactical race may be best ignored; could well bounce back. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won his fourth race at this track and third over C&D when scoring at 28-1 last Thursday on his return from a break; 5lb penalty doesn't leave him well in but this is a weak event. |
