5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day. |
8/1 |

10th 2 |
27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Heavy-ground winner here in late 2023 and this year has added two Bangor handicaps on good to soft and good; only 4lb higher than for the latest (by a length) and the front two were clear. |
7/2 |

1st 3 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored over 2m3f here (good to soft) in April and was close second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) the following month; disappointed when last in action but, if back on song, could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
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. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

1-16 over hurdles (sole win was over C&D in November); creditable second to Dillarchie over 3m3f at Sedgefield on last two starts; suited by good ground; each-way chance. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
0-16 over hurdles and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern, but she shaped with significant promise when fifth on last month's stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) and probably sat too far off the pace when failing to build on that performance at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) three weeks later; tries a new trip here; worth a second look. |
9/1 |
|
5th 10 |
27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-15 over hurdles when based in Ireland but shaped with significant promise when fifth of 15 on recent stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); drops back in trip here; contender if that run brought him on. |
14/1 |
|

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who was sold out of Philip Rothwell's stable for 6,000euros after two heavy defeats in early part of this year; moves back up in trip for stable debut; cheekpieces removed; market may guide. |

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. |
8/1 |
|

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. |
16/1 |

4th 10 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Absent since a couple of placed efforts in Class 5 in the autumn; back up in grade but he won a Class 4 contest over C&D last April and is nicely weighted. |

11st 11lb |
Irish 6yo who justified market support at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) on last attempt over hurdles, opening his account; interesting back in this sphere, especially if again backed; tongue-tie fitted on return from layoff. |
6/1 |
|

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 219y |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark over hurdles in a modest contest at Hexham in June; good effort in a 1m4f Flat maiden at the Galway festival; tailed off on his chase debut at Downpatrick; could be a different proposition in a handicap. |

13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two of his last four, accounting for Snow Dragon at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft; from 4lb lower) in February; the snag is that the other two efforts were laboured ones, beaten 28l into fourth over 2m here (good) three weeks ago; this longer trip can assist. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Inconsistent but won at Ayr (2m3f, heavy) in December and returned to form to win at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in February on his latest start; ran well on good ground here last May and it's possible he'll cope with the drop back in trip; he can be in the shake-up if on another going day. |

Three-time winner, most recently at Ayr (2m3f) on penultimate start; however, by no means certain to repeat that form, being far from consistent otherwise. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Triple winner at up to 2m4f (soft and good); inconsistency tempers confidence in her backing up last month's Perth near-miss (2m4f, good; first-time visor retained), but has staying potential on breeding. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Ayr winner in November (2m3f, soft); some fair form in lower grade events than this since; visor replaces normal cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

4th 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |

Not one to rely upon heavily but won in good style here (2m3f, soft) in November and has been placed on two of her subsequent four appearances; can make presence felt if in right mood. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 180y |
10st 13lb |
12-race maiden has come closest when neck second over C&D on penultimate run (good); put in another good performance here prior to that when third here; pulled up latest at Wexford but if she is to make the breakthrough it is likely to come here and blinkers can help, although soft ground a concern. |
7/1 |
|

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 1lb |
Maiden getting closer, most recently only caught close home over 2m6f at Downpatrick 18 days ago, having been made plenty of use of; 4lb higher but should go well over this less demanding track. |
6/1 |
|

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 11lb |
Finished in front of Benz but 2.5l behind Georgia Celena over C&D when last seen (good); 4lb better off with that rival now; has been running consistently and the cheekpieces worn at Hexham in her run prior now go back on after being left off in her most recent run; she should go close. |

5/2 |

2nd 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Running consistently well since August, winning here (2m, good to soft) on Boxing Day and finishing a close second of five over this C&D (good to soft) ten days ago; has the same mark as last time and holds solid claims. |
5/2 |

2nd 5 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |

Currently in a consistent vein of form; opened his chase account in Sedgefield contest (2m, good to soft) on Boxing Day, beating Dixie Cowboy and taking record here to 3321; ran creditably at Catterick (2m3f) since; solid claims. |

Creditable second of 15 at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) just under a year ago but not seen again until a heavy defeat in December, and absent for 160 days since; considered only if lively in betting. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Came good with two wins in November (2m1f/1m7f); returned from break with two low-key runs this spring but remains unexposed over 2m4f and James King is an interesting jockey booking. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Sole win under rules was in 2017 over hurdles; 5-17 in points but no win in that sphere since April 2022 and, although latest start was better, his two recent handicap chases suggest that others have more pressing claims. |

10st 12lb |
Came from off the pace to win over C&D (good to soft) in April and posted another good effort behind Luminaries at Kelso (3m, good) the following month, but didn't fire when last in action and others in this line-up have more pressing claims. |

None too consistent but hasn't had many chances at 3m, over which he came from off the pace to collect at Perth a month ago (good to soft); fair chance off 5lb higher if in the same mood; a different 7lb claimer rode last time. |

Bits of low-level form for Chris Grant and she managed third of eight in a maiden at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) 15 days ago on debut for new yard, albeit 29l behind the runner-up; tried cheekpieces/visor on last two starts; not entirely dismissed in this weak handicap. |

3rd 2 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Did not make the frame in seven starts under rules for Chris Grant; first-time cheekpieces saw no improvement when eighth of 12 finishers at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month and subsequently sold for £1,000; first-time visor is now applied on stable debut but she is hard to fancy. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Unexposed after only five hurdling starts and ran well for a long way when fifth (behind Killybegs Jet Lady) at Cartmel (2m6f, soft) last month; not out of this if combination of better ground and new cheekpieces helps. |

Placed off 1lb higher here (2m, good) last June and might have needed last month's reappearance run (tailed off before last-flight fall) but he's 0-10 over hurdles now and and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |
