10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Seems a spring type and he prevailed at Huntingdon (2m) last month on return from break, adding to his wins last May and taking hurdles record to 3-6 (3-3 on good ground in this sphere); respected with further improvement plausible. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Got his hurdling career off to a perfect start when winning two in a row at Plumpton and Kelso last May; hasn't really gone on from that promise in handicaps and resumes following a five-month break. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Fair Flat stayer who launched hurdling career with two 2m wins in May; slightly disappointing when only fourth at Hexham in June and also below par on the Flat last month but remains unexposed over jumps; upped in trip for handicap debut; a possible. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Lacking for pace when keeping-on third at Kelso (2m2f, good) in September; it is a slight concern she has been absent since but this is a suitable level of competition and this longer trip should suit; low mileage and one to consider. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Unexposed 6yo who was runner-up in a novice here (2m, good) in May but she's struggled in both runs since including on handicap debut at Perth (3m, good; 20-1) last month; now takes a big drop back in trip but she didn't jump well last time and has something to prove. |

Maiden stayer on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes; 8,000gns purchase in November; 2.75l third to Pergamon (3lb worse off) at Kelso on second run over hurdles last time (2m, good); each-way chance. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Returned from long absence with quite encouraging hurdle run in May and ran well for a long way over C&D (good; race in which Salamanca Bay fell) last month; finished rather weakly on both occasions but might last longer if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today. |

Longstanding maiden but has form figures of 222 at Perth (fences/hurdles); runner-up eight times in total; could go well with Kelso reappearance under his belt. |

10st 7lb |
Kept on for very respectable fifth of 15 on stable/handicap debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; that came after a three-month break and she could easily have more to offer over this new trip; tongue-tie removed after one use. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 5yo wasn't discredited when fifth of ten in 2m novice hurdle here eight days ago; he needs considering now going into handicaps up in trip. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Placed twice over hurdles last autumn when with Lucinda Russell (2m/2m1f, good); weakened quickly when tailed off behind Pergamon when back from a break on stable debut at Kelso last month (2m, good, 7-2); better than he showed there; interesting. |

25th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Well beaten in his sole bumper (soft) but much better to take minor honours over hurdles at Perth (2m, good) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in the autumn; has since left Lucinda Russell (same owner); admittedly beaten 17l by the Coltherd-trained favourite last time but this brother to high-class chaser Funambule Sivola should be in the mix if returning on song. |

Low-level maiden on the Flat, best effort over 6f in 2023; tailed off sole start in 2024 and headgear is given a go for hurdle debut. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Best form was when third over 6f at Southwell in March; modest efforts at up to 1m since, and far from certain to be suited by this marked step up in trip (pulled hard over 1m last time). |
