25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up on soft ground at Ayr last month but this race is much less competitive and the quicker surface ought to suit him better; made the frame on his previous three outings and has each-way claims at least. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Exposed five-time winner who ran perfectly well back from an absence at Carlisle but it's never ideal being 5lb out of the weights in this competitive a handicap. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Scored over hurdles on his handicap debut in March; this lightly raced 5yo steps up in trip for this first chasing start and it would be no surprise if he shows improvement in this sphere. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

AW bumper/minor hurdle winner; in fair form over hurdles last spring but makes his stable debut after eight months off and his last Flat run was back in April 2023. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

2-29 under rules and no win since the start of 2023; third on good ground at Newcastle (2m1f) and Carlisle (2m3f) in his last two starts, though, and each-way possibilities again. |

Has the form to feature but he's pulled up the last twice and connections reach for another change of headgear. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
1-11 over hurdles; returned from break with two very respectable fourths at end of last season (2m1f/2m3f, good) but has a point to prove after lacklustre performance at Southwell in May. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt, at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last month, and followed up at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft); climbing the weights but clearly progressive and unexposed over this trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Seems best away from soft ground; off the mark (tenth attempt) in a 12-runner novice handicap at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) 17 days ago, coming from the rear to justify favouritism under 7lb claimer, and the way she did it gives hope for this new trip; back up 5lb but one to note. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Career best, runner-up at Doncaster (2m4f, good to soft; from 2lb lower) on penultimate start; said to have "overraced on tacky soft ground" at Ayr subsequently; this looks a suitable next objective off a two-month break; possibilities. |

10st 8lb |
Ex-Gordon Elliott; Irish point winner in 2021 but yet to win under rules; creditable second in a maiden hurdle at Carlisle in February (2m3f, good to soft) but lesser run over that same C&D back in handicap company last time; others stronger. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
10yo who is a five-time hurdle winner and ran well when second at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February; however, his campaign concluded with two lesser performances and he returns from some time off today. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Without a victory since early 2023 but he comes here in good order, ridden too aggressively when a fading sixth in 2m4f Hexham handicap 25 days ago; considered with cheekpieces refitted. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
No win since November 2022 and he's struggled for form in recent starts, joining this trainer for the last three and well beaten in a 2m selling hurdle here on latest; visor applied for just his second attempt - last of five in the other - over fences; unlikely candidate. |
