18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Perhaps needed the run last time when back from a layoff; normally quite a consistent sort, as his second-place finishes in May attest, and he has winning form (albeit during brief spell over fences) at Sedgefield; could go well. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won over fences in February and was in good form over hurdles when last seen in May, finishing second over C&D and at Kelso (also 2m, good); won't be far away if fully tuned up after his break. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

C&D winner last spring; back from a winning spell over fences with a very good second of six in 2m Hexham handicap hurdle 22 days ago; another bold showing is on the cards nudged up 1lb with that form having been well advertised since. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all here in January and now 2-4 over fences after repeating the dose when odds-on in a weak three-runner race at Southwell (again on soft); 6lb higher for this but it's another modest contest and this drier ground should be fine. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Faller on chase debut but made all at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) next time then ran creditably at Sedgefield; may still have further progress in her at an ordinary level; respected. |

2nd 5 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Running a big race when falling three out on chase debut at Exeter (2m3f, heavy) in December and confirmed that promise when making all at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) nine days ago; also effective on good to soft ground; a 7lb penalty may not stop this unexposed mare; wears first-time tongue-tie. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won four times over fences last term but was tailed off on his return to action here (2m, good) last month; switches back to hurdles for the first time in 12 months and needs to rediscover his mojo. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Has taken well to fences and is 4-8 in this sphere; returns from a break and this front-runner may be hard to pass if he is ready to roll. |

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. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won twice over fences last year for Rebecca Menzies but four lesser runs since have seen him slip down to his last winning mark; has switched stables since his last run in March and any significant move in the market should be noted. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Won this 12 months ago off 2lb lower on the back of a wind operation; got himself back on track when not beaten too far at Sedgefield last month so could put up a respectable defence. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won over C&D (soft) last January and followed up at Carlisle (2m, good) in March; very much of interest on that form but he's struggled on both outings this season and needs to turn things around. |

10st 11lb |
Creditable third over C&D in January (Starman was over 6l in front of him in second) and not disgraced when fifth of six at Sedgefield last time (2m, good to soft); each-way chance. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
He's dropped to a mark 3lb lower than when winning at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) last February; however, this season's form has been mixed and he was no match for Supreme George when third of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day; needs to raise his game. |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Close up when brought down two out in Ballyfort's race over C&D last month; didn't seem to run quite as well when 15l second over C&D last time (went clear but tired late on) but still a contender today. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point runner-up and maiden hurdle winner but has disappointed in three chase starts this winter, pulling up at Sedgefield with cheekpieces added eight weeks ago; blinkers are tried now. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |

Point runner-up and maiden hurdle winner for whom things could click over fences at some point; well beaten on first two chase starts and hopes are pinned on the first-time cheekpieces giving him a boost. |
7/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Fontwell maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) in March and was not beaten far when eighth of 22 in Punchestown festival handicap in May; however, his record over hurdles was very mixed and he's a bit of a character (ran out in consecutive races last autumn); had wind op in spring; comes with risk attached on chasing debut. |
