3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in a 3m point; best rules effort when a weakening fifth of eight over 3m here (11-2; first-time cheekpieces) in December; now 8lb lower, having failed to shine over fences at Sedgefield and Carlisle recently; monitor for the time being. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Point runner-up (seven attempts in that sphere); lightly raced under rules and sent off just 9-2 for recent chase debut at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to soft); however, he was well beaten and needs to be an entirely different proposition in a first-time tongue-tie here. |

10st 11lb |
0-5 over hurdles, having been safely held in both handicaps (2m7f/2m4f); needs to improve for this switch to chasing but has plenty of pointing experience to call upon. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when winning four-runner Fakenham maiden (2m, good) last month, his fifth start over hurdles; contests much deeper race on this handicap debut but probably still has potential; one to consider. |
4/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish bumper winner who has finished second on two of his four hurdling starts for Olly Murphy, latterly in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; below that form on heavy ground in February but this much quicker surface ought to suit him better; good chance. |

3rd 1 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Irish bumper winner; physical excuses came to light for his one poor run under rules and it was a respectable 2m maiden (soft) in which he ran second at Lingfield; every chance. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Well beaten on last month's chasing debut but quickly got back in the groove on return to hurdling last week, winning readily by 7l at Stratford (2m2f, good; second run in cheekpieces); avoids a penalty and has obvious claims. |
11/8 |

1st 3 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Well beaten on last month's chasing debut (first-time cheekpieces) but ran well on consecutive hurdling starts beforehand, more notably when clear second at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) on first occasion; has tongue-tie added for this return to hurdling; dangerous if quickly back in the groove. |
11/4 |
|
7th 1 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went close on handicap debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f) in March before solid third at Taunton (3m, also good) one month later; drops sharply back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted and he remains unexposed on this introduction to fences. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has taken well to fences and completed a three-timer at Catterick in January; resumed winning ways at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and this front-runner may prove hard to peg back. |
6/4 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Front-runner who won three in a row in December/January (1m7f-2m, good-good to soft), following a wind op; recent efforts suggest he's still in good form and likely to give this a good shot. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Beaten 32l on his chase debut in October but subsequent wind surgery sent him on a roll, a win over C&D (good to soft) in December triggering a hat-trick; nothing wrong with his third of six at Sedgefield last time and he may still be capable of better. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Poor maiden who came in only 11th in 2m Hexham novice when last seen out in May; others appeal much more. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Quite promising 3yo on the Flat in 2022 but has struggled since, including on his five starts over hurdles, and he's hard to fancy. |

Not completely disgraced in two spring bumpers but well beaten at huge odds in two spins over hurdles; hard to recommend. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Beaten about 7l by the winner Newport when fifth of ten at 9-1 on last month's handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft); improvement is needed but he's raced only five times and could take a step forward at some point. |
12/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Brought down early on his debut and hinted at promise, despite making mistakes, when fifth of seven in 2m Warwick juvenile ten months ago; this son of Roman Candle should do better. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only win in 12 hurdle starts was a maiden; likes to crack on with things and probably went off a bit too hot when a well-held fourth at Cartmel (2m1f; after 99 days off); has another front-runner to deal with in Hello Sweety, but the ability is there to win off this mark. |
8/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Only 1-11 over hurdles and the win came in a maiden; however, this mark shouldn't be beyond her and she was quite free after a break when beaten 13l into third at Sedgefield (2m1f, good); has form here. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in C&D maiden (good) in October; disappointing in handicap at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has had a break since and is not written off back here. |
9/1 |
