11st 8lb |
Won when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in December on third handicap start and bounced back from Market Rasen fifth to score at Bangor (2m7f, heavy) in February; up another 6lb but he was strong at the finish last time and he should have more to offer at staying trips; key player. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has mixed record this year and is not easy to predict but won off today's mark here (2m5f, good) in April and ran well until stamina ebbed away here (3m2f, good to firm) last month; drops back in trip and swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor; contender if on a going day. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |

Won over 2m5f here on chase debut, but was disappointing on next three starts over fences (jumped badly right on third occasion); fair second back hurdling last time; questions to answer back over fences. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gained both wins at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft/good), the latter in May; absent since running poorly over that C&D in June and remains on career-high mark; others have more pressing claims. |
10/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Dual C&D hurdle winner, including last month, and not disgraced at Cartmel 17 days ago off this mark; return here is a plus, but he is still to win off a mark this high. |
16/1 |

6th 1 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

Doubled his hurdle tally over nearly 3m at Hexham this month and that was on the back of good runs in defeat; raised 6lb but has placed form under the returning Rebekah Duffy who claims 7lb. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who has gained most of his wins at this venue, including this race in 2020 and 2025 (same mark as today); hasn't built on his reappearance second at Ripon in two subsequent outings but a revival can't be ruled out back here. |
6/1 |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran who has gained most of his wins at Catterick but is 2-2 over this C&D and has possibilities back here; showed signs of retaining ability in the first of his two Flat efforts this year. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
The latest of his 12 wins (Flat/hurdles) came at Catterick (1m6f, good) last October when ridden by Jake Dickson; flattered by proximity to eased-down winner at Ripon (2m, soft) ten days ago, but that rival has won twice again since and this 10yo may step forward from that first run since January. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed on last two starts, though was some 23l and 11l behind the winners (tried a visor last time); still needs a second look with him back in some sort of form and he goes well in the mud. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

2-14 over hurdles; suited by this C&D but absent since a below-par run in April and others in this line-up have much more potential. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
In good form in the spring, most notably when dead-heating at Kelso (2m5f, good); not seen since a duff effort here in June but has a C&D win on his CV and can feature if back on song after his break. |
12/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won this race last term and better form this spring, all on good ground; dead-heated for first at Kelso (2m5f) last time, which has pushed him up 3lb to his highest mark since 2024 but he looks much more likely than most of these to give his running; should be thereabouts. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Course winner who scored easily at Ayr (2m5f, soft) last January and is now 1lb lower; however, she's been unable to match that level of form in the meantime and needs to raise her game this afternoon. |

4th 7 |
18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
5-45; wide-margin winner at Ayr (2m5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in January; moderate since, pulling up at Perth (2m4f, soft) on recent return from four-month break; easing mark but with clear risks attached. |
10/1 |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Wide-margin winner in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but yet to build on that success; just a respectable third of five on latest outing at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) in June; others preferred. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

0-19 over fences; ended a sequence failing to finish when a well-beaten fourth on first run back after a wind op at Ayr last time (3m, soft); 9lb out of the handicap and plenty to prove. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |

Scored over hurdles here back in 2023 but he remains winless over fences and was tongue tied when pulled up over C&D in January; needs a subsequent wind operation to spark major improvement. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced and generally very disappointing in recent years but proved he retains some ability as a teenager when 40-1 third of 14 at Kilbeggan (3m2f, good to yielding; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago; player if the new headgear continues to have a positive effect. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had a charmed spell for new yard earlier, five wins including one over C&D (good; also acts on soft); has run up to form only once in his last four starts though, following a revival at Fakenham last month with a tailed-off run at Windsor, and is still 6lb higher than the latest win. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four class 5 wins shared between hurdles and fences since joining James Owen, hacking up in a Newton Abbot chase latest (3m2f, good to soft); a fifth race in 25 days, a step back up in class and most significantly an additional 20lb hike all ask different questions this time. |

1st 2 |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Revitalised 8yo who started off for James Owen with two hurdle wins in refitted visor this month (2m5f/2m4f) and barely came off the bridle when scoring by 12l over fences at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on Tuesday; has further to go here but has good chance to extend winning spree under 7lb penalty. |
