18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has lost his form since a productive spell last winter, most recently failing to beat a rival over 2m5f at Sedgefield; however, has a record over 121 over C&D and is back on last winning mark; possibilities provided a revival materialises. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
5-26; those wins gained at either Catterick (2m-2m4f) or Sedgefield (2m1f); went clear from the last, winning by over 4l, at Catterick in February (2m4f, soft; from 4lb lower), but ended the season on a slightly downbeat note in a 2m5f Kelso Class 2; back from a six-month break. |

Signed off for Jennie Candlish with 2m hurdling success at Catterick in March; not discredited for current yard with fourth of seven in 2m3f Stratfrord selling handicap last month; may need more here. |

Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up at Market Rasen before flying too high there in the Summer Hurdle; this is a lot more realistic. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bagged a pair of 2m4f Hexham wins in the spring and comes here on the back of a good second of seven to Dream's Ka over C&D last month; enjoys a 2lb weights pull here, so very much one to consider. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
10yo who had two wins at Hexham (soft/good) this spring before a backward step when bidding to complete his hat-trick over that 2m4f; ridden by Charlie Maggs on last four starts; each-way candidate. |

Bidding for a C&D hat-trick having won here on last two starts (soft/good); has gone up 9lb but has run well off much higher marks in the past; could go well. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Seemed to be travelling well before falling four out at Southwell (2m4f, good; first run after wind op) last month and remains well handicapped but has not been firing on all cylinders for new stable this season; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a novice hurdle and two handicap chases for Alan King; no closer than 13l in five runs for this yard, the last two over hurdles; had a wind operation. |
11/1 |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two three-runner handicap chases at Plumpton (2m3f, good) for Alan King in 2024; mainly disappointing for present yard, including in today's headgear back over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, good to soft); first hurdle/chase run on slower than good to soft ground. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Resumed previous progression with last time's Doncaster handicap hurdle second (2m5f, good to soft) off 1lb lower; switched to front-running there, and would likely face competition for the lead if that strategy is persisted with today; retains tongue-tie for chasing debut. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 181y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Irish point winner (3m, good to yielding) in May 2024; won a Carlisle novice in February last year (2m1f, good to soft) and should come on for his latest fifth in a Catterick handicap (2m3f, soft) when returning after a wind op; tongue-tie now tried. |

5th 1 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner in May 2024 (3m, good to yielding); won a novice hurdle at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last season; sound reappearance run when second at Kelso (2m, soft) and returns after a short break having had wind surgery; step up in trip should suit; contender. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won an Irish bumper and added an Ayr maiden hurdle last season; beaten seven times since that last win despite heading the market but did run well with the visor back on at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago; should be involved once more. |
100/30 |

3rd 9 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Irish bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in Ayr maiden (about 2m3f, heavy) just over a year ago; expensive to follow subsequently and it was a moderate effort when sixth of eight over this sort of trip at Catterick (soft) last time; doesn't look the percentage call. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

Irish bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in an Ayr maiden (2m3f, heavy) last February; two decent placed efforts this term, following wind surgery, in first-time visor latest (left off here); a possible. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Clearcut winner on chase debut (2m4f, good) on final run for Rebecca Menzies and similar sort of form in defeat in two runs for the Skeltons, last time pushing earlier-race contender Newton Rambler all the way back over 2m at Uttoxeter; returning to further looks a plus and this hold-up performer should have this run to suit him. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Has taken his form to a new level since switched to fences, winning by wide margin at Hexham (final start for Rebecca Menzies) then creditable second at Worcester, both over 2m4f on good ground; likely to be as effective back down in distance and remains open to further progress in this sphere; respected. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back to form and kept on stoutly to win by 17l on chasing debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month, after which he was bought out of Rebecca Menzies' stable for £25,000; makes stable debut from 8lb higher mark but it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has won two of his last three races, both over 3m1f here, the latest on soft ground; also won over C&D last March; on a career-high mark (up 4lb for his latest win) but should run well again despite dropping back in trip. |
6/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made it 2-2 here with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month; unproven on soft ground, and only fifth at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but that wasn't a bad performance and he has to be respected now back at Catterick. |
4/1 |
|
5th 4 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to peak form when moved back up in trip at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) last month, justifying good market support in the process; current mark probably demands a career-best performance but he's not fully exposed over staying trips. |
