4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful for the wins; no sign of that ability over hurdles but he was a close second of 13 from towards the rear on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good; up 2lb today) in May last time and that gives him something to build on. |

10st 12lb |
2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles but that could change now he's into handicap company; market confidence would be welcomed. |

2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles and probably one for handicaps. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won C&D juvenile hurdle in 2023 and is well handicapped on some of last season's placed efforts but his Flat form in second half of last year was mixed and he fell when back over hurdles in January; others have less to prove. |
8/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won over hurdles in October 2023; modest third on first two Flat starts at the end of the summer; faded to finish seventh switched to AW here on his qualifying run but low-grade handicaps provide him with a much more realistic chance. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won over hurdles in October 2023; switched to the Flat in his last two starts and was a respectable third at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) last time but was beaten 5l in that race and this is much tougher on his AW debut. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Weakened quickly 2f out when 11-10 favourite trying 2m at Musselburgh in April and he was pulled up; absent since (withdrawn in May with a bruised foot) and he wasn't seen last term after August, but he scored over about 1m4f (on good to firm/AW) on his last two completed starts and, tongue tied first time, this lightly raced 4yo could still have potential. |
4/1 |
|
2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Runaway winner of four-runner novice at Catterick (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) last August; had wind surgery in November and a clearcut win when favourite for seven-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; should stay and 6lb rise doesn't look harsh; well related and could easily have more to offer, so the hat-trick beckons. |

3rd 7 (7) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who arrives in good form, third of seven in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 15 days ago; not out of things in his bid for a maiden victory. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Form figures of 323 in maiden/novice events but he's been well held in four handicaps; may have had stamina issues over 2m at Lingfield (AW) last month but he needs to raise his game on this big drop back in trip. |
7/2 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo; safely held in first three handicaps (1m-1m2f) but this big hike up in trip is an interesting move; cheekpieces removed after one use; well worth a glance in the bettting. |
8/1 |
