13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won on his second start for this stable (and second run since wind surgery) at Catterick (1m4f, good) last month and did best of those from off the pace when fourth in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 11 days ago; stepping back up in trip looks a good move and he's a contender. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won on his second stable start (and second run since wind surgery) in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (1m4f) last month, getting up late having lost a lot of ground when hampered around half a mile out; big player here. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Swapped usual cheekpieces for refitted visor and gave good account when third from 3lb out of the weights over C&D (good) on Saturday; will effectively be 1lb lower if he turns out again but his 0-42 career strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |

3rd 8 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ran well to a point when fourth in C&D selling handicap won by Alvesta in May but was beaten about 19l in the end and has been safely held in two subsequent chases; 3lb wrong today and now 0-40 under rules. |
20/1 |

6th 10 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden who often races freely and he's 3lb out of the weights for this second run over fences; he was well held in the first. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a point bumper in February 2024 (2m, soft); has shown bits of fair form over hurdles, notably when 11.5l fourth in a Sedgefield novice handicap in March (2m4f, good); others have stronger claims. |
12/1 |

7th 12 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
A point bumper winner in 2024; only poor form shown over hurdles but he posted his best run of the season (in first-time cheekpieces) when fourth of 11 in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 23 days ago; needs to build on it in retained headgear. |
16/1 |
|
4th 8 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Point-to-point bumper winner for whom the forecast good ground could be a positive; however, he's struggled in his first three handicaps and a major turnaround is necessary; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Fifth and about to post one of his better efforts when falling at the last behind Bunker Bay latest (C&D), not his first spill over hurdles; work on from further out of the weights today even with a clear round. |
33/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Last of five here (2m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now 0-27 under all codes; effectively on same mark from out of the weights today; blinkers (worn once on the Flat in 2024) are given another try. |
33/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Only won a maiden over hurdles but was placed in two handicaps and gets in off a lower mark for this debut over fences (second in his only point); worth considering. |
11/4 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
1-7 over hurdles; returned from wind surgery with creditable third at Doncaster (2m, good; handles good to soft) five weeks ago; 1lb lower here and should be involved again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Made all in Sedgefield maiden (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; below that form on next outing and absent since falling in March but could quite plausibly have improvement to come in handicaps this season. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been well held in two handicaps for his current yard and latest was at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October; tongue-tie is now added and he needs to significantly raise his game after a break. |
25/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
May have needed the run after a break when beaten 26l on handicap/stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) and was short in the betting at 9-2; remains relatively unexposed. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts in handicaps over a wide range of trips this year. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Sole win came in a maiden here but over 2m4f; three modest runs in handicaps since returning from a break and has stamina to prove. |
25/1 |

10th 17 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Gained sole success in Sedgefield maiden; holds weak claims on his form since switched to handicap hurdles; yard appears to have a better chance with Mandarb. |
50/1 |
