11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up twice over hurdles at start of this year (2m/2m4f) and returned from break with Flat win this month (1m4f; RPR 69); seems versatile regarding ground and ought to be a tough nut to crack. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 1m6f Flat winner who has finished runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles (2m/2m4f) in his last two runs; returns after four months off but he's only 1lb higher than for his last win and it would be a positive if the forecast rain arrives; needs a close look back on the Flat. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner who showed promise on all three hurdling starts, perhaps most notably when third in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good to soft) last month; no surprise if he features on this handicap debut. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner who made quite promising rules debut when fifth at Chepstow (2m, soft) in November; took backward step when well-held fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month but still enters calculations here. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-9 but ran up to his best at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month when runner-up for second time over fences; first-time tongue-tie and hood are now on and he just needs to find that little bit extra to gain his first win. |
9/1 |

2nd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good; form well advertised by winner since) in March but three lesser efforts have followed and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry. |
7/1 |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Below form on last two appearances and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and that form has been well advertised by the winner since; good claims if back at that level. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly-raced maiden who came in a remote third over C&D in February; cheekpieces on when unseated rider at the third in a 2m novice here 22 days ago and he needs to take a big step forward. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Belied 200-1 odds when respectable fifth on hurdle debut here (2m4f, good to soft) last month but did not achieve a great deal when well-held third of four over that trip a fortnight later; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; improvement required. |
25/1 |

3rd 4 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Tailed off in sole bumper and 22l behind Follow Your Luck when fifth of ten at 200-1 on recent hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft); lots of improvement is needed to turn the tables with his stablemate but at least that latest run gives him something to build on; not ruled out each-way. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Twice a runner-up in bumpers; failed to build on earlier promise in this sphere when pulled up on his handicap debut at Bangor (2m4f) three weeks ago; cheekpieces are retained and he could still do better for good yard. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Couldn't make a compelling case on this handicap debut and others preferred even if he is backed in the first-time cheekpieces. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner (peak RPR 102); turned over at short odds on hurdles debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, maiden) last November and things haven't got any better since; tongue-tie is added for handicap debut (appropriate level) but with plenty to prove. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Point-to-point bumper winner (2m, soft) who landed two rules bumpers last season (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); however, he's been unable to transfer that promise to hurdles on his two outings this term. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Finished third in a couple of Sedgefield bumpers but hasn't fared nearly so well over hurdles, earning a mark of 77; sticks to a non-handicap and needs major improvement for the first-time headgear. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |

Not disgraced in two small-field course bumpers in the autumn but struggled when 80-1 for Newcastle maiden hurdle (2m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; moves up in trip today. |

Runner-up on debut in a bumper at Hexham last March but unable to reproduce that form in a further two starts in bumpers and three over hurdles; this is his handicap debut, however, and he's well related. |
