6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Generally solid for this yard, winning his latest two races on officially good ground, at 2m5f and 2m3f, just prevailing over a well-treated one here latterly; up in trip but the first win was on Carlisle's stiff track so he could stay this far; considered. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Gentle progression this spring culminated in April's Carlisle win (2m5f, good), and possible excuses both starts since (boiled over; 2m1f too sharp); no RPR better than 91 when there's been give in the ground. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Came good for Sam England at third attempt, readily winning Carlisle chase (2m5f, good) by over 8l last month, and reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries before this month's poor run at Hexham; can be dangerous if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

No wins in 11, with seven over fences; however, did finish second after wind surgery at Carlisle (2m5f, good) and could build on that, for all that it was some 178 days ago. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Appreciated the step up in trip when landing his second race over fences at Stratford (3m3f, good) last month; up 5lb and needs to back that up over this slightly shorter distance. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |

Sole success over fences came at Chepstow in March last year off 2lb higher; soundly beaten since and steps up to beyond 3m for the first time; down to a career-low mark and needs this extra test of stamina to bring out improvement. |

Corbridge point winner (2m4f) for Brian Harding; essentially disappointing since switched to racing under rules and has lacked for fluency in two attempts over fences; competes from an easing mark in a weak race. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually goes well over C&D - form figures 212 - that win gained from a 2lb higher mark (favourite) over a year ago; recent Wetherby efforts were not so good but there was plenty to admire about the manner in which he rallied behind Always A Reason over C&D (good to soft) in January. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner who was runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and filled same position at Doncaster (2m4f, soft) last month; disappointing over C&D last time but no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |

Two wins last season (including C&D) and he's run well to finish second on both outings this year (2m4f, good to soft/soft), most recently at Doncaster three weeks ago; solid contender. |

Seems well suited by this track but was well beaten on last month's chasing debut at Carlisle (2m5f, good) and is now 0-25 under all codes; 3lb out of the weights today; others preferred. |
