22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Chasing on last five starts has not really worked out; Taunton (2m3f) last February and Warwick (2m) last March saw him register a double over hurdles and he's back to his last winning mark for today's switch in codes but, after three non-completions at about 3m over fences, stamina also has to be proved. |

Mixed results (5FP4) since switched to chasing but is now only 1lb above last winning hurdles mark and Edward Vaughan takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities, provided he stays returned to 3m. |

Just ahead of Gris Majeur when falling at third-last fence at Taunton (2m7f, good to firm) in November, his second chase, but struggled on next outing; others in this line-up look much less risky. |

11st 1lb |
2-2 in handicaps, both of those wins coming at Perth (2m4f, good/good to soft); up 10lb since the latest success last month and takes on classier opposition today but he did it nicely and is clearly progressive. |

Low-mileage 5yo who fended off Summergrounds to make winning handicap debut over C&D (2m4f, good) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; went up 6lb for that narrow success but further progress is possible. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner; won three novice hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f/2m3f, good to soft/good) last spring; placed in three of his five handicaps since but the last two instances were over just 2m1f and 2m, so this new trip asks a big question; he's also 5lb out of the handicap. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won three novice hurdles in a row here (2m1f-2m3f, good to soft/good) in the spring, including under Dominic Hislop, and he returned from a break to finish third in a handicap at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; could build on that latest performance now back here; firmly in calculations. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when winning three consecutive Carlisle novice hurdles (2m1f-2m3f, good/good to soft) towards end of last season; may yet have more improvement to come but managed only sixth of seven when back in a handicap here (2m) in May and has fitness to prove after break. |

Took step back in right direction when respectable fourth at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 1lb below his last winning mark but still needs to build upon that recent effort here. |

11st 12lb |
Won good-ground bumper here a year ago and got off the mark over hurdles in Ayr novice (2m4f, soft) in March; absent since fourth in C&D (good) handicap in May but still has low mileage; contender if fully tuned up. |

Point winner (3m, heavy); won a bumper here in September and off the mark over hurdles in a mares' novice at Ayr in March (2m4f, good); ran well over C&D on handicap debut last month (good to soft; unseated rider after the last when disputing the lead); up 4lb; chance. |

Defied higher marks three times in 2024 but his 2025 form took a turn for the worse; chance depends on whether this first start of 2026 results in a turnaround. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Improved form to get off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Wetherby (3m, soft) in February; hit with a 7lb rise but the short-head runner-up Diamond Dealer went one better next time and this 6yo is in good hands to continue to progress; respected. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |

Went close over hurdles at Perth (3m, soft) in October before promising fourth on chase debut at Kelso (2m7f, soft) in a race that worked out well; looked short of pace on ground that was good to soft, good in places at Haydock (3m1f) last time, finishing soundly beaten in third (Ski Lodge second); could be in the mix if today's conditions place greater emphasis on stamina. |

Narrow winner of this 12 months ago when 10lb lower; has shown that he can deal with this high a mark and he goes well fresh, so a 75-day break after being below par last time is probably a good thing; respected. |

4-29, including a C&D win (from 2lb lower) at this two-day Perth fixture in 2025; has been competing over 3m recently, failing to get home when fourth to Suspected (beaten over 13l) here three weeks ago; dropping back in trip is in his favour; don't discount hastily. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Won at Perth (2m4f, good) last May and at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in November, and has run well at up to 3m; now just 1lb above his last winning mark and not running badly this year, but he has to better those recent efforts. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Went very close when upped to 3m at Musselburgh (good to soft) in December; also effective on soft ground; only fourth of eight at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) since and could do with settling better but not ruled out. |

Gained sole win at Musselburgh (2m4f) and nearly doubled her tally, beaten a whisker by Reflection Of You having edged left, in C&D event (good to soft; first 3m attempt) latest start; in the mix, especially if keeping a straighter line. |

10st 12lb |
Four-time winner here, two over C&D on good ground (handles soft); undoubtedly on a dangerous mark but latest two efforts have been underwhelming and he needs to turn things around; safer to look elsewhere on recent form. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Four of his seven wins have been at Hexham; latest win (May 2024) was over this C&D (good to soft) when 13lb higher; mainly disappointing since then, but on a good mark now. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Unable to justify prominence in the betting when well beaten at Kelso (2m5f, good) this month and remains without a win since 2021; others have much more appealing profiles. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Soundly beaten over 3m here this month and remains without a win since Irish maiden success in 2021; continues to slide down the weights and may benefit from this drop back in trip but still makes only limited appeal. |
