28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Made all for 13l success at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last time, ending a losing run that went back to 2024; still competitively handicapped on historical data and has won at up to 3m; not dismissed. |
7/1 |

1st 1 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Has patchy profile but he's well handicapped on his Taunton second (2m3f, good) in December and he may have needed his reappearance run at Hereford this month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard. |
11/2 |

5th 1 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has become hard to predict, as his 16l fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) in January would suggest, having failed to back up a decent effort there the previous month; back on his last winning mark and could play a leading role if at his best. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
With James Owen for 18 months (Scottish National fourth in April) before joining this yard; Borders National win at Kelso (4m, soft) in December was his best form for nearly two years and he kept jumping to his right, so reverting to a right-handed track today may well help; back up 5lb but shortlisted. |

5th 7 |
25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Only 1-10 (hurdles win) during his spell with James Owen but ran respectably in the Scottish National on last appearance; sold for £24,000 since; headgear removed; heed the market signals. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Won over hurdles in December in a first-time visor, which he also wore next time and returns today; well held with first-time blinkers in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham one month ago, taking sixth in that 3m2f race for the second year running; new trip but he's not persuasive. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Good servant to connections over the years (six hurdle wins); on the downgrade now, though, and was just a respectable fifth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at regular haunt Wetherby (2m5f, good) last month. |

28th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has often run well here and he's well treated on course form as recent as November; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and this 10yo needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Narrow winner at Carlisle in April (2m3.5f, good; second had won two previous races); has not fared quite as well since, including with a visor tried at Uttoxeter last time; regular cheekpieces back on here but he needs to bounce back now back up in trip (stays 3m well). |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

2m3f success at Carlisle in April (good), his fifth career win; not at his best the last twice and a visor replaces cheekpieces. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Five-time winner, the latest over 2m3f at Carlisle in April (good); below par when last seen out a month ago and needs to bounce back. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won small-field C&D event in June and was not beaten far in Summer Hurdle (a race he won in 2024) here in July; needs to up his game after two lesser efforts elsewhere but the return to this track is sure to suit. |
33/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Had a win and two placings from three starts here (2m) in his younger days; won four-runner Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) off reduced mark in June and was not disgraced in competitive Summer Hurdle over that C&D in July; form took a dip at Cartmel last time, though, and he's untried at this trip. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Won four-runner Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) off reduced mark in June and was not disgraced in competitive Summer Hurdle over that C&D last month; ran quite well on only previous visit to Cartmel (in 2023); could have a say. |

10th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Excels around Cartmel, completing a hat-trick when successful at that venue on final start in August 2022; returns off the same mark but wellbeing is clearly an unknown; market could be informative. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who has dropped to a mark 5lb lower than when winning on his chase debut last February; he may stage a revival at some stage but has struggled over fences/hurdles on his three runs this season. |
50/1 |

10th 5 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |

Returns to hurdles off a workable mark but, judged on his chase efforts this term, has a doubt over current form. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won two in a row in February 2024 and very well treated on that form, but pulled up/tailed off on his last three starts; a visor goes on. |
20/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Too risky when he's pulled up in four of his last five races and over two years since he last won. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course winner; last three wins were over 2m4f at Newcastle in 2023/4; sound run when fourth at Haydock last time (2m3f, good to soft); now 2lb lower and interesting with cheekpieces tried. |
9/1 |
