8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over nearly 3m as a chaser last year when based in Ireland; pulled up over hurdles on final run there and made a forgettable stable debut at Hexham in this new headgear combination. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A fair 2m7f-winning chaser but he was pulled up back hurdling in 3m Fairyhouse handicap in April on his final run for Thomas Cooper; cheekpieces go on for his new yard and he can't be ruled out after a break with Brian Hughes up. |

11yo who is lightly raced for his age and won at Perth (2m4f, good) in September before 2l third at Kelso (2m5f, good); well-beaten third at Perth (2m4f) since when the soft ground may not have been ideal, and a similar surface is expected today. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner in 2024; returned from one-year absence with low-key hurdle run for new stable in July but shaped with a lot more promise at Perth last month and should now be at concert pitch for this return to fences. |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles after a year off and he's likely to be back chasing (dual winner) sooner rather than later. |

On a lengthy losing run and he's offered little in two runs for his current handler, tenth in 2m4f Perth handicap 30 days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |

Is 0-29 over hurdles and he ran poorly in a refitted tongue tie when ninth of 11 in 2m Wetherby handicap hurdle 15 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Perth (2m4f, good) in September but struggled on final two starts for Olly Murphy and it was the same story on his stable debut in November; returns from a break with something to prove. |
25/1 |
|

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-25 over hurdles but has posted some good efforts for new stable since the summer, most recently when second at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; also suited by slower ground; probably won't be far away. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Veteran who has gained four of his ten hurdle wins at this track and often builds up a big lead; needs to rebound from a disappointing effort here (2m4f) ten days ago but was in a consistent vein of form beforehand and is still on a workable mark. |
7/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

11st 1lb |
Veteran finally made the breakthrough in 2m1f Bellewstown handicap in April and duly followed up at Down Royal off 5lb higher; solid C&D run since off further 8lb higher mark when chasing home a clear-cut winner; contender again. |
7/1 |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Veteran finally made the breakthrough in 2m1 Bellewstown handicap in April and duly followed up at Down Royal early this month off 5lb higher under today's rider, produced late for cosy success; hit with another 8lb rise but in the form of his life and ground remains in his favour. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |

Off the mark at the age of 10 when winning (sent off 22-1) over this trip at Bellewstown; claimer negates penalty but whether he'll back up that improved effort is anyone's guess. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Kept on to account for Thehairyfella over C&D (soft) last October; fortunes have dipped markedly since and he weakened quickly when beaten 45l over C&D (hurdle) latest; wind surgery and an added tongue-tie could prompt a revival from what is a workable mark; consult the market. |
12/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-20 over hurdles but won here (3m, soft) on chase debut last October; three major backward steps this spring prompt caution on this return to hurdling, with cheekpieces (tried often as hurdler last year) reinstated. |
20/1 |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-20 hurdles but made winning chasing debut over C&D (soft; 7-2, from 2lb lower) last October; well beaten on both subsequent starts, dropping out tamely once headed, finishing well behind Sir Carnegie over C&D three weeks ago; needs to rediscover a spark. |

C&D winner off 6lb lower at this meeting last season when with Adam Nicol (good); has since won at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) but has a bit to find with Betteryouthanme on recent Hexham form. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
9yo who has been lightly raced since showing promise in novice hurdles in September 2022 but he returned to form with a close second at Hexham (2m4f, good) recently on his second start back from an absence and a repeat of that performance will put him firmly in the picture. |

2nd 10 |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Runner-up in C&D maiden in September 2022; lightly raced and generally very disappointing since but was not disgraced at Perth last month, after a long absence, and is worth a glance in the betting. |
25/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Twice placed at Cartmel (2m6f) last summer; this year's form figures PF aren't overly inspiring though, so it's difficult to argue a reasoned case, unless the newly applied cheekpieces have a majorly uplifting impact. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Pulled up at Perth this month, after a layoff, but was placed twice on the tight left-handed track at Cartmel (2m6f) last summer, so there's a good chance Fakenham will also suit him; big player if back on song. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Placed on a couple of occasions at Cartmel (2m6f) last year and was a staying-on fifth over C&D (in a first-time tongue-tie) last September; is likely to draw benefit from this comeback run; monitor only for time being. |

Latest of his two wins was in 2021; runner-up over hurdles last May but very opposable on what he's done since; off 260 days before latest start when he was remote at 200-1; first-time headgear this evening. |

Runner-up over hurdles last May but this 8yo has struggled to get competitive on his four starts since, one of those being on the Flat; races for the first time since last September and others make greater appeal. |

Unable to get seriously competitive on any of his three appearances this year (2m-2m4f) and now 0-18 over hurdles; 5lb out of the weights today; needs to prove some ability remains. |

Always behind at Perth (2m, good) last month, after a layoff, and now 0-16 over hurdles but might well have needed that outing and is unexposed over this sort of trip; not ruled out. |
