19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Got off the mark on his second start over fences at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month and wasn't beaten far when last of three at Kelso (2m7f, good) 13 days ago; this looks easier and he shouldn't be far away. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Got off the mark on second chase start when scoring at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good); seems to stay 3m, but this looks tougher. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

Failed to win over hurdles (0-7), going closest when runner-up in a Hexham maiden (2m4f) 13 months ago; respectable on recent chase debut at Wetherby (3m; fourth of nine); 2lb lower, and back in trip with cheekpieces retained. |

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. |

3rd 2 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish; won over 2m4f here on stable debut in August; mainly fair form since; interesting on first try at this trip (has run well over 2m6f). |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won on stable debut over C&D (good) last August and good second at Kelso (2m5f, good) next time; tailed off over C&D in October before respectable fourth of 13 at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; the closer the ground is to being good, the better; could be a contender after a break. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won four-runner handicap at Hexham last June (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); disappointing since; needs first-time blinkers to bring about significant improvement. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Captured this prize last year (fourth win at the track) and caught the eye when eighth of 12 in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 34 days ago, racing wide and set a lot to do; he's a player off a 2lb lower mark now. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Four of his five wins have been at Hexham; hasn't been at his best on last three starts; others stronger. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Easy win at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last October and he's continued to run well (soft/good to soft), finishing 11l fourth of 17 at Haydock (2m5f) in January on his last handicap start; not ruled out each-way although there's a suspicion he's vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
In good form in handicaps this season, winning easily at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in October and running well in defeat at Haydock (2m3f/2m5f, good to soft) on his last two starts; also effective on soft; has been shaping as though this drop back in trip could suit; major player. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has shown improvement this term and was collared only in the final strides at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) most recently, having been mostly clear from four out; likely player provided he stays this new trip. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to form to cause 50-1 shock over C&D (soft; front pair clear) last month and is now 3-13 over hurdles; it's hard to predict whether she'll be in the right mood again but she won't mind if the ground dries out. |

1st 11 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Scored at Ayr (2m) in November on just her second run for current yard but well below par all three runs since, only 11th at Carlisle (2m1f) last month; others are preferred. |

11th 13 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish; 33-1 winner at Ayr (2m, soft; tongue-tie refitted) in November on second run for present yard but she hasn't run as well since, last time when stepped up to 3m; others look stronger. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
12yo who exploited a career-low mark in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since) at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November and followed up there (3m, good to soft) in December, making all under Oscar Palmer each time; he's a player if resuming where he left off. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not the force of old but, following a wind operation, arrested decline and was placed twice at Hexham (2m4f; stays 3m) in the spring; absent since falling quite heavily there in May but has a fighting chance if ready to roll. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Still to score over fences and has been pulled up in 3m handicap chases at Hexham on his last two runs; tried in different headgear. |
20/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-9 over fences and he's struggled on his last two starts; however, first-time cheekpieces had a positive impact when he was second off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) last November, so perhaps today's first-time blinkers and tongue-tie will give him a boost. |
16/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Yet to score over hurdles or fences for his current yard and comes here having been well below par on last two starts, only tenth in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase in December; lots more is needed after a break. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Returned to form at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) on Wednesday, when he was reeled in after blasting off in front but kept on gamely for second; also suited by this C&D and a recent 2lb drop has now taken effect but he had a hard race at Perth and has become inconsistent. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Veteran; 12-94, four of those wins coming at his beloved Perth; showed up well for much of the contest at Hexham (2m, soft; third, beaten 33l) on Saturday evening, before tiring markedly on the uphill climb; the better ground is in his favour here but this is a quick turnaround. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has won ten of his 82 races, including over this C&D in June 2024 (good); should be all the better for last month's reappearance run at Perth; interesting. |
12/1 |
