24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
9yo who was tailed off at Kelso in February last time but that was the competitive Morebattle Hurdle over 2m; in good form over 2m4f prior to that, winning at Newcastle then second at Aintree (both good to soft); likely to be in the mix back up in trip. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November and second to progressive winner at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in December; unraced over a trip this short and there's a suspicion this 9yo will be vulnerable in a race this competitive, but he's 2-3 at Kelso and is not ruled out each-way. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Close second at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bounced back from Ascot blip when third at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) recently, albeit soundly beaten by the first two; the step back up in trip might help and he's a possible player if conditions suit; unproven on soft ground. |

Unproven on soft ground and tailed off at Ascot last time, although that was in a hot Class 2; went close in Class 3 at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago and not ruled out now back down in grade. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Won at Exeter and then a close fourth at Sandown (2m4f, good); could put a line through his subsequent races on account of heavy ground and a trip too far; respected. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Exeter (2m2f) in November and creditable fourth at Sandown (2m4f) next time, before heavy ground might excuse his latest start; this, however, is his first foray beyond 2m6f, after 37 races and at the age of ten. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
November's Exeter win looked unlikely but he stayed on much the best over 2m2f on good to soft; not beaten far off this 6lb higher mark at Sandown (2m4f, good) when close up behind Henri The Second who won easily back there last weekend; thoroughly exposed but enters the equation for sure; has won on heavy. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Signed off for Olly Murphy with victory in 2m4f Wetherby handicap hurdle in March but he beat only one on his yard debut at Perth (2m4f) last month; he has something to prove now. |

10th 1 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Not as good as he was and attracted no bid after winning a 2m3f seller at Wetherby in March; later left Olly Murphy for £7,000 and might be up against it off top weight after a lengthy break. |

28th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very useful at best but pulled up in all three starts in 2022 then went missing for nearly two years; showed there was plenty left in him when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October but he didn't convince at Lingfield in December; ought to be a huge factor here. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Irish challenger is on a long losing run but she posted a good second of nine in 2m5f Downpatrick handicap hurdle 23 days ago; up 4lb but very much one to consider. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |

AW/hurdle winner; remote second on her latest Flat run (1m4f) but she went close here in May over 2m3f and she's worth a go over this far. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Dual-purpose mare; without a win since August 2023; made the frame twice over hurdles in May; fair record on AW (1-13, placed six times), not as effective on turf though she has had few opportunities. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |
7/1 |

4th 10 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Stable is going well at the moment and this 8yo contributed with a clearcut win at Hexham (extended 2m7f, good) 15 days ago; up 5lb today; usually ridden in the last ten months by Harry Reed, who's on stablemate Pyramid Place this time but, on the face of it, this is the yard's stronger option. |

1st 8 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
C&D winner on stable debut in August and has shown fair form since, though he needs to be forgiven a below-par effort here last time over 2m4f; possible danger if returning to form now back up in trip. |
12/1 |
|
6th 11 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
C&D winner on stable debut in August and mainly fair form since; closely matched with Wee Alki on their clash over 3m here 17 days ago and the drop back in trip is maybe more in his favour; respected. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |
16/1 |
|

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |
