Point/bumper winner who landed a Hexham novice (2m, good) in October but has a mixed record since and was only eighth of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; edging down the weights and is still unexposed in this sphere but others are more convincing. |

Has won two of his last three races, both over 3m1f here, the latest on soft ground; also won over C&D last March; on a career-high mark (up 4lb for his latest win) but should run well again despite dropping back in trip. |

Made it 2-2 here with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month; unproven on soft ground, and only fifth at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but that wasn't a bad performance and he has to be respected now back at Catterick. |

Seems best away from soft ground; off the mark (tenth attempt) in a 12-runner novice handicap at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) 17 days ago, coming from the rear to justify favouritism under 7lb claimer, and the way she did it gives hope for this new trip; back up 5lb but one to note. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
No joy in four goes over fences and made a winning return on his handicap debut in this sphere at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March; bumped into an improver when second at Hereford (2m, good) last month and should be on the premises. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't taken to fences this season but came right back to form reverting to hurdles last time, gaining a hard-fought win at Plumpton (2m, good to soft), his first success of any kind; handles most ground and 3lb rise leaves him still well treated on the pick of last season's hurdling form; leading contender. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped if judged on pick of last season's hurdling form but chasing has not gone to plan this term (four attempts) and his overall strike-rate is now 0-14; needs to turn a corner. |

Minor promise in qualifying but found 2m4f beyond him on recent handicap debut at Musselburgh; early days and the return to 2m should suit. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 5 |

He's not obviously well treated off his opening mark but there was a small hint of promise on his debut at Bangor (2m, good to soft) in November, when he was well beaten but keeping on when stumbling/falling two out, and the step up in trip could suit in his first handicap; watch the betting. |

Managed only third when odds-on for modest 2m Huntingdon maiden last month (albeit form was recently boosted by the winner) and is now 0-8 over hurdles; should be fine over today's longer trip but needs to up his game on this handicap debut; tongue-tie added. |

Showed promise on his first four starts (including on soft) then got off the mark when making all in a Market Rasen novice (2m, good to soft); on a line through the runner-up he's making his handicap debut off a fair mark, and this unexposed 6yo is open to improvement for his good yard. |
