17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Made it two wins for the season when scoring over C&D (soft) in January and bounced back from lesser run here when 1l second of five over C&D (soft) last month; could give another good account but he needs to be better than ever back up in grade if he's to win today. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Two wins this season, on good ground at Kelso and soft over C&D; still on a competitive mark if a line can be put through his latest effort when tailed off over this C&D. |

25th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Following wind surgery he took a step back in the right direction when 11l second over 2m at Ayr this month; needs to build on that latest performance but it's possible the step back up in trip will be a plus. |

Maiden hurdler who came in only eighth of 12 in 2m5f handicap here 46 days ago; has since undergone breathing surgery and needs to take a big step forward. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Encouraging handicap debut when third at Ayr (2m, soft) last March but soundly beaten or pulled up in the meantime and no improvement for cheekpieces at Ayr last time out; visored this time; all uphill on these terms. |

Seems to have learned to settle better on recent outings and kept on well for close fourth (just behind Willie Shake Hands) over C&D (good to soft) last month; slightly disappointing at Ayr since but still considered. |

Remains winless but he posted a good fourth of 13 in 2m Newcastle handicap hurdle 22 days ago given he was set plenty to do; this keen-going sort can't be discounted off the same mark. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Didn't have a good strike-rate over hurdles or fences but then went back-to-back in 2m4f handicap chases on good to soft at Musselburgh late last year; 5lb higher than for that latest 5l success and her subsequent defeat was over hurdles; chance. |

4th 10 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Wins a Musselburgh (2m4f) the last twice took her chase record to 3-10; only 1-22 over hurdles and has to deal with a career-high mark back in this sphere. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Just 1-22 over hurdles but was a front-running second off 2lb lower at Kelso (2m2f, good) last month; mixed results in her six runs over fences but she had a win in Ireland last spring and still has potential in this sphere; not ruled out back in trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid. |
14/1 |

3rd 6 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two from two since visor went on, winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft; won by 13l); put up 9lb for last win but should be competitive again. |
100/30 |

0-26 (0-9 over hurdles) prior to getting off the mark in a first-time visor at Catterick (1m7f, soft) a fortnight ago; came clear with the favourite and he's a strong candidate if the headgear maintains its effect. |

Winless since 2023 and he's been off the track since pulled up in 3m handicap in November; on a useful mark if resurgent after a break. |

Lost out only by a nose to Orange Diamond over C&D (good) in August but was not quite in same form when fifth behind same rival here last month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

Yet to register a victory and she was pulled up on her stable debut in 2m Sedgefield handicap hurdle 30 days ago; very hard to make a case for. |

0-10 over hurdles and absent since heavy defeat for Pauline Robson at Cartmel (2m6f) last summer; well handicapped on old form but probably best watched on stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

Fairly useful 2m hurdles winner in early 2023, but offered little for Nigel Hawke in a pair of 2m handicap hurdles at Leicester and Lingfield in December; needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. |

Hinted at possible return to form when third in 3m chase here in May but was pulled up (lame) in another of those here ten days ago and is now 0-6 for current stable; looks opposable in this 2m hurdle. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on first three starts for Andrew Hamilton but his C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie) third in May was a big step back in the right direction; suffered a mishap at Hexham last time but has possibilities if able to build on that previous effort. |
16/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Started off for Andrew Hamilton with three heavy defeats but last month's third at Perth (3m, good) was a big step back in the right direction; may benefit from today's drop back in trip and can cope if there's rain about; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |
