6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when keeping-on third over C&D (good to soft) in April but last month's Uttoxeter run was a backward step and she's now 0-9 over hurdles; others preferred. |

Went with renewed vim fitted with cheekpieces at Bangor last month (retained here), that additionally representing her best effort yet on good to soft under rules; replication of previous efforts on this even quicker going won't suffice. |

Lightly raced 6yo for whom it's early days with this yard and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's finished down the field on both runs this year, after missing all of 2024, and he has plenty to prove. |

11st 10lb |
Returned from a break with a fair fifth at Newcastle (2m4f, good) this month on his second handicap start; this lightly raced half-brother to Scottish National winner Macdermott is open to improvement now up in trip and he's a possible player in first-time cheekpieces. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |

Perhaps in the grip of the assessor since the last of his four wins this term; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim may offer some help but this assignment looks difficult. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made very good progress in second half of last year, with the last two of his four wins gained over C&D (soft; also suited by good); returned from ten-week break with very respectable effort in 0-130 grade at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and might still be on the upgrade. |

11st 5lb |
Made it 12th-time lucky over fences when scoring over C&D (good to soft; from 2lb lower) three starts back; excuses since - fell, and then out of depth in a valuable Class 2 Series Final at Carlisle; could bounce back with Danny McMenamin returning to the saddle. |

Mid-race faller last weekend when bidding for a Newcastle double (maiden under rules previously); ran respectably over C&D in February; 4lb out of weights but could go well with a clear round. |

Point winner; won his first race under rules here last time (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for third time); seems equally effective at this trip and should go well off this 3lb higher mark. |

Record of 3-39 over hurdles, latest win coming over C&D in March 2024 (heavy); placed on last five starts, last time beaten just over 2l in third to Tartan Cookie (who's now 2lb worse off) over C&D (good); solid each-way contender. |

Dual C&D winner who has finished runner-up at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) and Wetherby (3m, good) in his last two runs; up another 3lb but he was only narrowly denied last time and remains well treated on his old form; key player. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Stayed on gamely to score at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in January, her third hurdle win, and probably bettered that performance when close/clear second at Southwell (3m, soft) last month; competes off career-high mark here but still respected in current form. |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Got on a roll last spring having joined this yard, winning at Ffos Las and Wetherby (2m4f/3m, good; cheekpieces) before clinching a Flat-race hat-trick at staying trips; brought her stable record to 6-11 when scoring at Leicester (about 2m4f, heavy) one month ago and holds leading claims once again. |

Won two good-ground hurdles (2m4f/3m) and three consecutive Flat races during highly productive spell last spring/summer and bettered low-key reappearance run when respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month; may yet have a bigger performance in her. |

Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised. |
