15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner who hasn't been out of the first two over hurdles and his defeat two runs back was at the hands of a useful horse; odds of 1-4 last time and that win told us little, but he brings momentum into this handicap debut. |
5/2 |

1st 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A fairly useful dual bumper winner who has made a promising start in this sphere, landing C&D novice in February before advancing his form when second of five under a penalty at Bangor (2m) 16 days ago; holds major claims. |
4/7 |

2nd 1 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won two bumpers and also ran well in a Listed race at Cheltenham; narrowly denied on his hurdle debut here (soft) but comfortably went one better as an odds-on chance at Doncaster (good to soft); talented and going the right way. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
2025 bumper winner (2m, good) but generally a weak finisher over hurdles since, even with a tongue-tie and after wind surgery; couldn't be confident about chase/handicap debut (Flat bred) despite respected connections. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won good-ground bumper by 8l in March 2025; rather disappointing when well-held third on hurdle debut in October and has failed to complete twice since but shaped with promise before weakening and falling at Southwell (2m, good) last month, after a break. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-8 over hurdles but ran well before weakening into fifth at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) a fortnight ago and is another 3lb lower now; enters each-way calculations. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but was unable to justify his market prominence when safely held on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in December and struggled in a Catterick claimer on Wednesday; 1lb wrong here; needs a good boost from the new blinkers. |
20/1 |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; no impact whatsoever from a lowly base for handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f; seventh of eight, beaten 21l) in December; off for 83 days since; rates as an unlikely candidate. |
66/1 |
|
2 (11) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Poor form in bumpers/over hurdles; wears cheekpieces for Flat debut; Geordie Mackem looks the stable's main hope. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not devoid of ability in novice hurdles last season but likely to be vulnerable again on this reappearance unless finding improvement. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly-raced maiden who came in a remote third over C&D in February; cheekpieces on when unseated rider at the third in a 2m novice here 22 days ago and he needs to take a big step forward. |
20/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Belied 200-1 odds when respectable fifth on hurdle debut here (2m4f, good to soft) last month but did not achieve a great deal when well-held third of four over that trip a fortnight later; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; improvement required. |
