30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Three wins from four Flat starts in 2026 include a C&D success last week (had Sophiesticate two necks back in third); likely has more to offer at this kind of trip and could easily shrug off a 4lb penalty; yard took this last year. |

Pulled up over hurdles in May but right back on song to notch a second success of 2026 in 1m2f Newcastle classified event 20 days ago; this return to handicap company demands more though. |

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February but he was pulled up back hurdling at Hexham 24 days ago; not out of things if shrugging off that effort. |

9st 0lb |
Won on his second start for this stable (and second run since wind surgery) at Catterick (1m4f, good) last month and did best of those from off the pace when fourth in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 11 days ago; stepping back up in trip looks a good move and he's a contender. |

Won on his second stable start (and second run since wind surgery) in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (1m4f) last month, getting up late having lost a lot of ground when hampered around half a mile out; big player here. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Gave good account when third of 12 in C&D (good to soft) selling handicap in May but has modest 1-22 strike-rate over hurdles and ran poorly when last in action; others appeal more. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

11st 13lb |
Won small-field Sedgefield chase (2m, good to soft) on Boxing Day and reverts to hurdling on a good mark but looked badly out of sorts when tried in a visor in March and has become very unreliable; usual cheekpieces refitted here; not an easy one to predict. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |

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. |

Safely held when 25-1 for handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) just over a year ago and not seen again since but remains very unexposed and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting; tongue-tie added. |

Regressive 9yo but ran okay in this new headgear combination last time when rallying into fifth, finishing behind Mojo Ego and Heart Above; that's something to build on; Alan Doyle claimed 5lb that day but can't now. |

Regressive 9yo who is yet to add to his C&D win in June 2022; ran well for a long way when placed at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month but was soundly beaten here a fortnight later; cheekpieces refitted today. |
