16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Can do too much in front but no alarms when making all in a Catterick claiming hurdle for Jennie Candlish in March (1m7f, good); out of a half-sister to a minor chase winner, but not bred for this job otherwise. |
8/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Claimed out of Jennie Candlish's yard for £12,000 after winning over hurdles at Catterick last time; could go well but looks no certainty to follow up, being 0-12 on the Flat (mostly turf starts). |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
No win since August 2024 (Ballinrobe, 2m2f; for Jessica Harrington) but has finished runner-up on both visits to this track, including when racing too freely on return from a seven-month break over 2m4f (33-1) latest; top-rated, and dropping back in trip should suit; key player. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the promise shown when winning his first two hurdle starts in late 2024 but Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December was a step back in the right direction in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) and this point winner could be suited by the switch to fences; possible player. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m4f novice winner towards end of 2024, beating a useful rival at Sedgefield (good to soft) on latter occasion; returned from break with disappointing run in April (raced too freely) but still looks interesting on this handicap debut; had wind operation during summer break. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Two fair runs late last year, better effort when clear second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; pulled up last time (rider said was never travelling); tongue-tie now tried; interesting contender. |
8/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Yet to get his head in front but only overhauled late on when runner-up over C&D (good to soft) in December in first-time cheekpieces (retained); looks sure to go close. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Last of seven in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 15 days ago; very hard to make a case for in his bid for a maiden win from 4lb out of the handicap. |
25/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-6 over hurdles but made encouraging seasonal debut when third of six here (2m5f, soft) in December, and can probably be excused for finding 2m7f on heavy ground too taxing at Newcastle in January. |
5/1 |

4th 11 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Didn't achieve much during last season's first campaign but he rallied when 6l third of six at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) on last month's reappearance and the step up in trip could be a positive for this lightly raced 6yo. |

40-1 third of 16 at Wetherby in December but unable to reproduce that form and she's now 0-13; others make greater appeal. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden; creditable third at Wetherby in December (3m, soft) but a bit to prove having been pulled up on both starts since. |

Popped up with 40-1 third of 16 at Wetherby (3m, soft) in December; not ruled out each-way but pulled up back at Wetherby (3m, soft) and she's now 0-11; others arrive with less to prove. |
