20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two from two since visor went on, winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft; won by 13l); put up 9lb for last win but should be competitive again. |

11st 10lb |
0-26 (0-9 over hurdles) prior to getting off the mark in a first-time visor at Catterick (1m7f, soft) a fortnight ago; came clear with the favourite and he's a strong candidate if the headgear maintains its effect. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a similar handicap at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in March and made another bold bid when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; only just caught in that race and he's 4lb well in off the same mark here; strongly respected. |

2nd 1 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
He only beat two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) and the 6lb rise appeared to find him out when behind Midnight View at Warwick; he's back down 2lb but they did claim 3lb off his back last time. |
4/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Best effort for a while when beating two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) last month; back up 6lb in a race that will take more winning but that recent success could have had a reviving effect. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-11 over hurdles; third in handicaps at Windsor in January (2m, good) and Sedgefield in February (2m1f, good to soft); can be forgiven lesser effort on testing ground last time; each-way chance. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
13l ahead of Cumhacht when third in a Windsor novice handicap which has worked out well (2m, good); Sedgefield third since again gave the impression he needs more of a test, and although slightly back down in trip here he's granted a galloping 2m and slow ground for the first time; chance. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-9 but he returned from a break to finish third at Windsor (2m, good) on New Years' Day and that form has worked out extremely well; has shown promise on good to soft ground; could play a leading role. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hadn't improved for contesting handicaps but that changed when upped to 3m1f at Warwick (good) where he was well backed; didn't win with loads in hand but only went up 4lb. |

1st 5 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

Yet to be placed from seven runs but shapes as though this step up in trip will suit; has dropped another 4lb and should do better. |

5th 10 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has had few chances but he called it a day on his handicap debut at Huntingdon in November and his finishing effort was sorely lacking at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) in February; hard to fancy for now. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in a 3m hurdle (good) when trained in Ireland; has gone backwards in three starts for her current trainer, both in terms of performance and trip; latest 5lb drop sees her on a handy mark and no surprise if she can take advantage. |
7/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
A long way clear when falling at the fourth-last fence at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in October and ran well to a point back there on his stable debut; she never got that competitive back over hurdles this month. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who was a long way clear when falling at the fourth-last fence here (2m5f, good) in October and ran well for a long way before weakening rapidly here (2m5f, good) in November on stable debut; the drop in trip could be just what she needs and she's one to consider back hurdling. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |

Had plenty of Flat racing and won five times; 0-6 as a hurdler and after his fourth to The Resdev Tyke on Boxing Day he ran no race at Sedgefield; others preferred. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who is 0-5 over hurdles but ran pretty well when fourth of 11 at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day on his first handicap start in this code; today's extra yardage looks a plus and he's in with a chance. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 3 |

Five-time Flat winner who has taken quite well to hurdling in recent weeks, finishing fourth at Worcester (2m, good to soft) and Kelso (2m, good); may have to settle for another minor prize here, though. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
29-race maiden who has struggled back over hurdles in his last two runs; finished second in a classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in January but was beaten 6l and that took his AW record to 0-12; down the list. |
7/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Runner-up in basement-grade AW race in January but pulled up over C&D (good to soft) when back over hurdles last month and now 0-28 overall; stable has much more obvious chance with Captain Cool. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up on AW last month and now has first hurdle start for current yard; however, that recent Flat form is very modest, he's achieved little in this code, and he's yet to win after 27 attempts (seven over hurdles). |
