14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Lightly raced hurdler comes here on the back of a good second of six in 2m5f Kelso novice 38 days ago; very much one to consider now going handicapping reverted in trip. |

7th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Half-brother to 3m2f chase winner Belle Jour; struggled in two bumpers but he's shown promise with his two frame efforts over hurdles at Hexham (2m, good to soft/good) this spring; has leading claims on his latest form and he's open to more progress on this step up in trip. |

Should be well handicapped but doesn't arrive here in much form and has shown some quirks. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Now 7lb lower than when placed at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but looked very unenthusiastic before eventually keeping on for fourth there (2m, good to soft) last month and was pulled up in first-time visor (retained) on latest outing. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Gained two of his five hurdle wins over C&D and was second off mark 7lb higher than today's when making stable debut in this race a year ago (good); lost his way afterwards, though, and absent since heavy fall in November. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Five-time winner for Mark Walford who was runner-up at Hexham (2m, good) in May on his stable debut; however, pulled up there on both runs since (2m, good/good to soft) and returns from a break with something to prove. |

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

Second of nine to Blended Stealth here last month but dropped out very tamely a week ago; capable of going well but can be up and down. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Not quite at his best this year but last month's Hexham third was respectable and she remains only 2lb higher than when beating Saligo Bay to win this race under Thomasina Eyston in 2025; can't be ruled out. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Cartmel winner off 2lb lower last July (2m1f, good) who was a fair fifth in a mares' handicap over that C&D last time; not out of it. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
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. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
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. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-11 over hurdles but comes here after making the frame on consecutive appearances at Perth (2m4f/3m, good) this summer and is not yet fully exposed at about 3m; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
No wins in 12 but ran his best race since wind surgery when beaten only half a length over 2m4f here recently; could build on that and should stay this far. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Unplaced all nine hurdling starts, albeit he ran well when fourth on soft ground at Newcastle (2m6f) during the winter; recent efforts have been underwhelming; needs to raise his game. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |
25/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
1-38 over hurdles, the win gained at Hexham (2m, good) last May; his good days have become infrequent, though, and he's 3lb out of the weights today; not the percentage call. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

C&D winner in 2023; currently out form and he's 5lb out of the weights; another change of headgear. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a Cartmel handicap in August 2023 (2m1f, soft); not been in much form since a Hexham second in June (2m, good to soft); others appeal more. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Only win was over 2m1f on soft; wasn't in best of form when last seen out and perhaps best watched on return from a break on first run beyond 2m6f; tongue-tie now tried. |
