9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Heading in the right direction (RPRs 98, 104, and 115) since joining Stuart Edmunds, afforded the run of the race when an easy winner at Catterick (2m Class 4, soft; 9-2) latest; steps up in grade from an 8lb higher mark; a noteworthy candidate around this sharp track. |

1st 6 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
A weak finisher in handicaps over 2m4f (good to soft) and 2m3f (soft) since trained in Britain but this free-going sound jumper shapes as though he will fare better now dropped to the shortest trip he's attempted; open to improvement. |

Took a step forward when seventh of 17 on heavy ground here in February; not as good on quicker ground in a bumper 16 days ago and ground may be against him again. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts. |
4/1 |

3rd 11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rejoined Sophie Leech after remote second in selling hurdle last month; made no impact when 50-1 for 2m1f handicap hurdle three weeks later and reverts to chasing with quite a bit to prove; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Bagged a four-timer (around 2m) over hurdles/fences last winter; not at her best of late though and finished a remote second in 2m Hexham seller three weeks ago on her final run for Jennie Candlish; more needed in refitted cheekpieces for her new handler. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Four wins over hurdles and fences in 2025 (about 2m2f; ground ranging from good to soft); not in the same form since returning from a layoff in January, including in a Stratford seller in March, but this is easier and she's a viable option. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Has won five of his 18 starts over hurdles, the latest at Carlisle in February (2m1f, good to soft); hasn't been in quite such good form since (fifth of six on the Flat last time). |
10/1 |

5th 4 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Generally productive over hurdles but last few efforts leave a doubt over whether he'll be in top form returned to the Flat for first time since winning at Redcar (1m6f, soft) in November 2024. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has won five of his 17 races over hurdles, including at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) and off 7lb lower at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) this season; not at his best on last two runs but could bounce back. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win from 19 came at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft; from 15lb higher) in February 2024; returns to fences for the first time in a while, after checking out swiftly over hurdles at Hexham (2m; fifth, beaten over 16l) last month; others more obvious. |

5th 10 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran well for a long way and seemed to have arrested his decline when fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month but was soundly beaten over that C&D 11 days ago and now has questions to answer again; drops back in trip with hood removed after one use. |
11/1 |
|
7th 8 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Chase winner in early 2024; generally disappointing since returning from long absence this year but ran well for a long way before weakening into fourth in C&D (good) contest won by De Deli Counter last month and has possibilities if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two in a row at Kelso (2m, good/soft) last autumn and returned from a four-month break with a good third over this C&D (good) three weeks ago; she's the only one of these with the benefit of a recent outing and that may prove to be a major positive. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual Kelso winner (2m); twice placed (from higher marks) over C&D during the spring, and also a creditable fourth to My Chiquita at Cartmel (2m1f, good); returns from a 123-day break as the first runner for Becky Smith (now joint-trainer with Micky Hammond). |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
A dual 2m hurdles winner at Kelso last winter and back in good nick of late, finishing third of six at Perth (2m) nine days ago; not out of things off a 2lb lower mark. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Has a record of 2-2 over C&D when the ground is good, namely wins in the same March contest (Class 4) for the last two years; upped in grade but still looks interesting returned to this scenario with Kelso reappearance (2m5f) under his belt. |
11/2 |

4th 1 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won by 9l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in March when last seen; an 8lb higher mark and different trip give him questions to answer on this first outing since but he's not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this last year when 2lb higher (good); ran well in fifth of 15 at Catterick in January, when not quite seeing out the 2m3f trip, and he unseated mid-race there last time; could have a big part to play. |
