21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April and followed up at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; he's performed respectably here (2m6f, good to soft) and at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) since and this lightly raced 6yo may still have more to offer, especially now back up in trip. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-5 over hurdles with a comfortable 2m4f win here in December but off this 7lb higher mark he was never on an even keel when fourth at Kelso (2m6f); perhaps the track didn't help and, while it's surprising to see him back at 2m1f, he's a respected runner. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Got off the mark on his second start over fences at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month and wasn't beaten far when last of three at Kelso (2m7f, good) 13 days ago; this looks easier and he shouldn't be far away. |

3rd 3 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Got off the mark on second chase start when scoring at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good); seems to stay 3m, but this looks tougher. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

Failed to win over hurdles (0-7), going closest when runner-up in a Hexham maiden (2m4f) 13 months ago; respectable on recent chase debut at Wetherby (3m; fourth of nine); 2lb lower, and back in trip with cheekpieces retained. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
His first run at about 3m when winning at Newcastle (good to soft) and then ran second at Warwick; latest Musselburgh run wasn't too shoddy given he was held up off the pace before staying on and he reportedly bled that day; had a break since and wouldn't be fully exposed as a stayer. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Relished the step up in trip to make a winning handicap debut at Newcastle (3m, good to soft) in November; good second at Ayr (3m, soft) one month ago but position 3lb out of the handicap demands more from him today; claiming rider is recruited. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time point winner who's been thereabouts in a couple of his handicaps this season, most recently when second at Wetherby (2m4f, soft) on Boxing Day; not so good on his next two outings and ran poorly in a maiden on latest, so needs to stop the rot. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time point winner who has run some good races in defeat in handicaps this season and was stretched by 3m last time; he's 0-11 under rules and exposed but is in with an each-way shout this afternoon. |
12/1 |

10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
No wins in ten over hurdles but nearly put that right on Boxing Day (2m3f, soft) and didn't run too badly at Catterick having been hassled up front; probably stays this far. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Unable to land a significant blow in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m3f-2m4f) in February-April and makes chase/handicap debut after 199-day break but is open to improvement over fences; watch the betting. |

Exposed 13-race maiden over hurdles; fair second off a low mark in a C&D handicap last week (good to soft); this is a harder race but each-way chance. |
