24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Pulled up two runs ago but solid efforts in defeat on either side of that and he's an assured stayer at this trip; the blinkers are new, as were the cheekpieces when third at Kelso last month. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Strong stayer who was 6lb out of the weights when runner-up in the Scottish Borders National here in December; off the same mark for this but has to bounce back from a pretty poor run at Bangor; cheekpieces added. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Only 1-22 under rules and clearly hard to win with but he arrives in form having placed in a second successive Highland National here (3m6f, good) last month; just as effective over this shorter distance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only 1-21 overall and clearly hard to win with, but he was runner-up in this 12 months ago and returns in form having been running well from 2m4f to 3m; in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Sole win under rules came in a handicap chase in 2023 (2m7f, soft); stays 3m6f but nearly won over this far at Carlisle on his reappearance and not disgraced since. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-11 over fences but he has the form to feature off this mark if ready to rock on his stable debut after a long absence; the market should be informative. |

11st 12lb |
Ex-Philip Hobbs/Johnson White; dual hurdle winner (including on testing ground) but yet to win over fences, although came close when head second at Wetherby in November (3m, good); fair efforts since; one to consider. |

24th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
0-12 over fences but has won a bumper, a hurdle and five points; creditable second to a subsequent dual winner at Wetherby in October (3m, good to soft) but an early casualty next time; contender. |

29th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Former pointer/hunter chaser who bumped into a revitalised opponent when second in Wetherby handicap (3m, good to soft) on last month's seasonal/stable debut; has a big role to play if that run brought him on. |

Lightly raced since a 3m2f win in late 2024; pulled up after an absence at Kelso over Christmas and he's a 13yo now. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ayr (2m4f) in January but failed to back it up when a well-held fifth in another 2m4f handicap at that track 43 days ago; others appeal more. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 |
10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Both wins have been here, latest when beating Velvet Vulcan by a head in a 19-runner handicap over this trip last month (soft; went clear but only just held on); should go well off this 3lb higher mark. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-20 over fences and although he finished second here (4m) in March, he has run below that since at Carlisle and back over hurdles at Perth; requires an extreme test to be seen at his best. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both hurdle wins came over 3m/3m1f on soft back in 2022; fair second in a 4m h'cap chase at Hexham last month (soft), but not so good last time. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on second (no threat to winner) at Hexham (4m, soft) last month and is also well suited by this track but is far too inconsistent to rely upon and would appeal more on soft/heavy ground. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
26-race maiden; ran well for a long way at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last month but ended up about 21l behind Ballydangan and is effectively 2lb higher here. |
33/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Unreliable longstanding maiden who was tailed off at Cartmel three weeks ago; opposable. |

24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-24 under all codes and not very reliable but gave very good account when fourth from out of the weights at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month and is effectively 9lb lower from correct mark here; had excuse when pulled up last time (stirrup snapped); not ruled out. |
