24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made all and held on narrowly from Velvet Vulcan in conditional jockeys' race at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in February; not in the same form when fifth over 2m back at Ayr since but the return to 2m4f may see him in a better light. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made all and held on narrowly from Velvet Vulcan in conditional jockeys' race at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last time, opening his rules account; raised 4lb but William Maggs, who keeps the ride, can use his 5lb claim this time; open to further progress in any case and looks likely to be as effective back down in distance; respected. |

Irish point winner last February; best run over hurdles when 12l second to a progressive subsequent winner over 2m1f at Sedgefield last time (good to soft); interesting on that run. |

3rd 8 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes. |
12/1 |

6th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February, latterly to The Coffey Boy; does need to shrug off two lesser runs since, though. |
11/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won this last year (heavy) and, following an unsuccessful stint over fences, he returned to form when back over hurdles and third over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago, when short of room turning for home; contender. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |

Won twice over C&D last February (soft, heavy); fair form over fences this season; on a good mark on his return to hurdling and an interesting contender. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Both hurdles wins at Ayr (2m4f); was in the process of showing best chase form when hampered and unseating rider soon after two out there (2m) last time; could go well off a handy mark, provided he takes to Sedgefield (first run here). |

Beat Coylton King (runs in the 5.40) at Ayr (3m, soft) last month, but well held off this 5lb higher mark last time; wouldn't rule out. |
7/1 |

6th 6 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Contesting only his second handicap when the well-backed winner of a 3m soft-ground handicap at Ayr, where he was going away at the finish; up 5lb and they claimed 7lb last time so has more on his plate at these weights, but he looks an improver. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was safely held when fourth on last month's handicap debut here (2m4f, soft) and needs today's longer trip to unlock improvement. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ayr (2m4f) in January but failed to back it up when a well-held fifth in another 2m4f handicap at that track 43 days ago; others appeal more. |
11/1 |

5th 2 |
10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Both wins have been here, latest when beating Velvet Vulcan by a head in a 19-runner handicap over this trip last month (soft; went clear but only just held on); should go well off this 3lb higher mark. |

Runner-up in this event 12 months ago but he's yet to hit top form this term and came in a well-held sixth back hurdling in 2m4f Ayr handicap last month; still can't be totally discounted returning here off a reduced mark. |

10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Maiden; best run this season when a head second to a well-handicapped, subsequent winner when fitted with cheekpieces (retained) at Newcastle last time (2m4f, soft); clear of the rest that day so although up 2lb is one with a chance. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Eight-race maiden over hurdles; showed some promise when placed in novice company last season but has been rather disappointing in handicaps from 2m-3m this term; cheekpieces now tried. |

Encouraging handicap debut when third at Ayr (2m, soft) last March but soundly beaten or pulled up in the meantime and no improvement for cheekpieces at Ayr last time out; visored this time; all uphill on these terms. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Partial revival on chase debut here (3m, good) in April but she did not shine at Cartmel one month later; has plenty of form to make this look an attractive mark but there are doubts on this return to hurdling. |
25/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Back on track to a certain extent when fourth switched to fences at Perth latest (3m, good), shaping as if further still is required; longer trip all to the good and is now 20lb lower than this time last year. |
16/1 |
|
4th 10 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien last season; has fared less well for new yard and, having been pulled up wearing headgear on last three starts, has plenty to prove on her chase debut (no headgear this time). |
