23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won off 2lb lower at Kelso (2m5f, good) last April but he's not seen much action since and has been beaten 39l in both runs this year; has some questions to answer and he needs a big turnaround. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner (2m5f, good) a year ago; absent since disappointing run in January but his C&D (good to soft) second just after Christmas was a good effort and he'll be right in the thick of things if back on song today. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Campaigned at Kelso (2m5f/2m6f) since last April, posting form figures of 132; edging back up the weights and now goes into a much bigger field switched back to elsewhere; not certain to remain competitive. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
5lb higher than when a 6l winner of this last year, beating Ike Sport; returns on the back of two solid efforts at Newcastle; chance. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
This race was one of the three he won last season, all of them on good or good to soft at this trip; on his last winning mark and, after his running-on second over 2m1f here last time, should go well again. |
2/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won back to back at Aintree & Hexham (both 2m4f) last summer, rising to a career-high mark of 134; kicked off 2026 with a solid effort at Doncaster (2m4f, soft; runner-up) and he's capable of bouncing back from a lesser effort at Kelso since. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Good servant to connections over the years (six hurdle wins); on the downgrade now, though, and was just a respectable fifth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at regular haunt Wetherby (2m5f, good) last month. |

28th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has often run well here and he's well treated on course form as recent as November; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and this 10yo needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up on soft ground this month, after a layoff, but this three-time course winner is now only 1lb higher than when holding on for narrow C&D (good) success last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Six hurdle wins, latest over 3m1f at Cartmel last August (good); high enough in the ratings at present, lacks a recent run and perhaps best watched this time. |
12/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive 8yo who has collected two good prizes at Cartmel (2m6f/3m1f, good) since tongue-tie was refitted in July; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive but this more conventional track may not suit quite so well. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |
7/1 |

4th 10 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 10yo who came good over hurdles at fifth attempt, with narrow success at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) last December; may still have a bigger run in him but was pulled up in April, after a break, and has been off for another six months since. |
