11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Not the greatest jumper and he comes from the back, which risks trouble in running, but competitive in all six of his completed handicaps over this sort of trip; won three of them, in just a four-runner race at Doncaster on latest start, though, and further improvement is needed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Progressive last season and has continued the good work this term, finishing second of 15 at Newbury (2m4f, soft) then third of 12 at Windsor (2m4f, good); trainer won this last year and he's a major player. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
5lb higher than when a 6l winner of this last year, beating Ike Sport; returns on the back of two solid efforts at Newcastle; chance. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
This race was one of the three he won last season, all of them on good or good to soft at this trip; on his last winning mark and, after his running-on second over 2m1f here last time, should go well again. |
2/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won back to back at Aintree & Hexham (both 2m4f) last summer, rising to a career-high mark of 134; kicked off 2026 with a solid effort at Doncaster (2m4f, soft; runner-up) and he's capable of bouncing back from a lesser effort at Kelso since. |

11st 4lb |
Exposed 10yo whose powers would appear to be on the wane judged on this season's performances; opposable. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
10yo whose mark continues to fall and he took a step back in the right direction when third of seven at Ayr a fortnight ago; it's possible he'll be able to build on that latest run but he was beaten just over 7l and certainly needs a bigger performance this afternoon. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Boasts two wins around here, one over this distance, but has been below his best this term and was pulled up at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month in race won by Triple Crown Ted; hard to fancy. |

Sixth foal; brother to point winner Calli Black, half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Earth Company; dam bumper winner, sister to 2m6f/3m1f jump winner Cogryhill, half-sister to useful jumpers Duhallow Gesture and Me And Ben; sales price doubled from yearling to three-year-old; bred to stay well and could play a hand. |
