15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races and was closing on the winner, whom he beat the time before, over 2m4f at Haydock last time (good); edging up the weights but firmly in the reckoning. |

2nd 16 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day before good second there (2m3f, soft) in January, and he returned to winning ways at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago when clear with Outlaw Tom; this rejuvenated 10yo still has mileage in his mark and is firmly in calculations. |

1st 9 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Only 2-24 over fences but good to see him follow his Wetherby win on Boxing Day (2m3f, soft) with a similar performance in defeat the following month; does have his share of off days but couldn't rule him out. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Yet to add to his four chase wins for Philip Kirby during 2023-24 season but has made the frame on all four starts for current stable since December, most recently when third of five at Newcastle (2m4f, good) nine days ago; tried in cheekpieces today; probably won't be far away. |

3rd 5 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
With Phil Kirby when left alone in a match at Kelso (3m, soft) in February 2024, that being his fourth (and most recent) win over fences; runner-up in this last year (beaten 11l) for Lizzie Quinlan; in the frame three times (Musselburgh) for Hugh Burns; competes from an easing mark, needing more. |
4/1 |

4th 1 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
On a two-year losing spell but looks reasonably solid, having posted two respectable efforts over C&D this winter for new yard; remains well treated on peak form. |

5th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won this last year (heavy) and good second here (2m7f, soft) in January; also effective on good ground; failed to stay 4m1f in the Eider here in February and could play a leading role now back down in distance. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Resurgent 11yo who won three 2m4f chases last season and was creditable second in valuable series final for veterans at Haydock (2m4f, good) last month; can't be ignored in current form. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Well treated on his best form, now 9lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March 2025, but he has been struggling, including with his jumping; cheekpieces off, tongue-strap on. |
12/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Has lacked fluency at times this season; otherwise an interesting type as he's on a very handy mark and this looks the time to catch him (gained last two wins in spring months). |
9/1 |

5th 12 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Yet to score this term but he arrives in decent nick, scuppered by a bad error when sixth over C&D last month; possibilities off a 2lb lower mark. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who has raced exclusively over fences since joining Deborah Cole in the middle of 2024, scoring a further four times, including over 2m4f here last season; off the mark for the current campaign when shading a close finish at Market Rasen (3m, soft) in February but pulled up when favourite at Hereford since and now back over timber. |

5th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |

He's just 1lb higher than when winning at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in October and he has form at up to 3m; however, below his best on his last three starts and was pulled up at Carlisle a fortnight ago. |
14/1 |
