16th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Landed his second win over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, good) in May off 4lb lower; tailed off on his return back there (2m, good) a fortnight ago and may need to come down a few pounds, while ease in the ground would not go amiss. |
8/1 |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
2-6 over hurdles, the latter win gained here (2m4f, good) in May; not seen since respectable Flat run the following month and not sure to benefit from this drop back in trip, but may still have some potential over jumps. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |
3/1 |
|
4th 3 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish; yet to win for new yard, but fair second of five at Lingfield when dropped back to 2m last time (heavy); should improve on back at 2m4f. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
His last two wins were over 2m and back in early 2024; comfortably held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ran well for a long way when third of seven on latest hurdling start, at Doncaster (2m, soft) in February, and will be fine on the faster ground here but recent Flat form has been underwhelming; others appeal more. |

9th 8 (8) |
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 |
|
5th 3 (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. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Quiet on the Flat and over hurdles in the last 18 months; hard to recommend on the back of last month's quiet return over hurdles. |
20/1 |
|
10th 8 |
14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Soundly beaten on all three hurdling starts last season (1m7f-3m) and returns from 171-day absence with quite a bit to prove; usually wears some form of headgear but not today. |
33/1 |
|
9th 3 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won over 2m here last March but nothing in two runs this season and there are stamina doubts; the return of a hood (fitted for that win) could help. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over hurdles (2m4f/3m) but he's 0-5 on the Flat; plugged on for a modest fourth in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) 22 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this return to handicap company. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A dual winner over hurdles in 2023 (2m4f/3m); struggled over hurdles/Flat since returning from a lengthy absence; beaten 13l when seventh of nine at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in July and now drops back in trip. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham and nearly won again at Kelso ten days ago when headed on the run-in; same mark. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham last year, latest in August; close third over same C&D last time and worth considering. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Didn't run badly in a low-grade Flat marathon last month but he ended the last jumps season with two disappointing runs (both 2m4f) and has a bit more to prove than some of these. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well beaten over hurdles on his last two starts but hasn't run badly on his last two Flat outings (1m4f/2m, AW) and his trainer has won two of the last six runnings of this race; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Scored twice over hurdles (at about 2m4f) in 2024-25 but has failed to fire this term and beat just two in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap hurdle ten days ago; others appeal more. |
