25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice here in 2023; respectable efforts this year but not as good as he was; 10lb out of the weights. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual course winner in 2023; kept on for fourth over C&D (good to soft; also suited by soft/heavy) in May and subsequent Hexham second was also very respectable but he's no longer the force of old. |

C&D winner in 2023; well below best form over the last year or so but at least took a step back in right direction when keeping-on fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) ten days ago. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bought for £3,000 out of Tom Lacey's yard at Doncaster last May having won two Catterick handicaps over 1m7f earlier in the year; this ground fine and not disgraced when tried over 2m4f/3m; probably best watched on stable debut having been off since April. |

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed sudden jolt of improvement to win twice at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in early part of this year and the form of his subsequent Newcaslte second (2m1f, heavy) reads well; unexposed over this sort of trip but needs to bounce back from a poor performance four weeks ago. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won over C&D in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) in February, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between and again on latest start but he was brought out quickly under a penalty in the latter; visor replaces his usual cheekpieces. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Musselburgh (3m) in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) last Thursday, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between but he'd have a huge chance under this penalty if that form from last week (a narrow career best) is repeated. |

11st 5lb |
Had the cheekpieces back on when narrowly winning a 2m6f good-ground maiden at Cartmel three weeks ago; has been competitive in handicaps off this mark; should go well. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Went close in Catterick handicap (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in December and ran well over same C&D the following month (good to soft; first-time visor); big player if judged on those efforts but weakened quickly on last two outings and is now 0-12 over hurdles; cheekpieces refitted. |

10st 12lb |
Back in good form in new headgear this spring, most notably when winning at Kelso (2m6f, good) two starts ago; will be suited by this longer trip and is probably still on a workable mark; could have a say. |
9/1 |

2nd 3 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won this race last year and he improved his hurdling record to 5-13 when beating Jericoacoara over C&D (second-time blinkers) two weeks ago; up 6lb but he was as good as ever with that comfortable success and is a major player again. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

4-12 over hurdles (including C&D win); out of sorts when pulled up twice in the winter (wore cheekpieces) but bounced back with creditable third in valuable series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month and has possibilities if in the right mood again. |

Well handicapped on old form but hasn't won on the Flat since 2021 and, following a 406-day absence, he finished last in recent 1m3f Hamilton race won by Annandale; has too much to prove. |
40/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual AW Flat winner (1m4f) in 2021 who also won a 2m3f hurdle race in March 2023; that's from 44 starts and he may prove best watched on this first appearance since May 2025, despite the reduced mark. |

Dual AW Flat winner (1m4f); only hurdle win was for Ben Pauling off 11lb higher at Doncaster in March 2023 (2m3f, good); some fair form last term, stable in good form and he's a possible. |

12st 0lb |
Easy win on stable debut at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November and runner-up to progressive winner there (extended 2m6f, soft) next time; disappointing at Ayr (3m, soft) at the start of January but has had a break since and could bounce back with a bold show today. |

Encouraging second in Newcastle maiden (2m1f, good to soft) in December and won there (2m6f, soft) in January on second handicap start; disappointing back at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) since but this unexposed 5yo returns from a two-month break and could bounce back with a big run. |

Has responded well to cheekpieces and was up in trip when prevailing by a nose over C&D (soft) last month; 4lb higher, but still unexposed over this far and makes the shortlist. |

11st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he got hampered when unseating over C&D last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning this race (good to soft) last year; that was a brave success and he's a player if he can recapture that form. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-11 over hurdles but comes here after making the frame on consecutive appearances at Perth (2m4f/3m, good) this summer and is not yet fully exposed at about 3m; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

No wins in 12 but ran his best race since wind surgery when beaten only half a length over 2m4f here recently; could build on that and should stay this far. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Unplaced all nine hurdling starts, albeit he ran well when fourth on soft ground at Newcastle (2m6f) during the winter; recent efforts have been underwhelming; needs to raise his game. |
