28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 5lb |
Scottish raider; 0-5 but getting closer with each run this season; 2.5l behind Judicial Deference on penultimate at Kelso (22.5f, heavy); beaten a neck at Hexham on latest (2m4f, soft); cheekpieces go on now; can't discount. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced sort who took a big step forward on his handicap debut when a running-on second of eight at Kelso (2m6f) 40 days ago; this Irish point second merits serious consideration nudged up 1lb. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Soundly beaten trying 3m on penultimate outing; best form on starts either side when taking minor handicap honours at Wetherby (2m4f, soft) and Kelso (extended 2m6f, heavy) and those give him place claims. |
5/1 |

3rd 7 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Weakened into well-beaten fourth at Doncaster (3m, soft) three weeks ago; however, prior to that he kept on well for a much closer fourth on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) and today's in-between trip could suit. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Easily won a maiden hurdle at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December and he tapped back into that promise to win a handicap at Wetherby (3m, good) three weeks ago on his stable debut; beat just five rivals last time but this 6yo is unexposed over staying trips and could be a contender up 4lb. |
10/1 |
|
1st 4 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Successful twice in Irish points and once over hurdles for Rebecca Menzies; ran creditably at Kelso (2m6f) last time on handicap debut; market may offer further guidance in this first start for Sam England. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two-time 3m point winner who built upon previous rules promise for easy win in maiden hurdle at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December; pulled up at 33-1 in Grade 2 at Doncaster (3m, soft) since but today's handicap debut provides a far more realistic opportunity and he's not ruled out. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Following a two-month break and a spell in the doldrums this 10yo returned to form when third of 13 at Ayr (3m, soft) a fortnight ago; this C&D winner could be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |
9/1 |

3rd 12 |
29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two-time hurdle winner who is 5lb lower than when winning over fences here last March; however, this 10yo has been unable to threaten across his five starts since, back over hurdles on the last two occasions. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Three-time hurdle winner (including on heavy) who has run a couple of fair races since joining this yard in the autumn, but this 10yo was tailed off at Ayr (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago and his losing sequence continues. |
16/1 |

9th 6 |
29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
10yo who has not won since January 2024 but he's reached the frame in two of his three runs for current yard; now 2lb lower than when third of 14 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November and he could be in the mix back at this trip. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won a novice at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December; finished lame when pulled up on handicap debut at Kelso (2m7f, heavy) in February and he bounced back with a fair fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f; cheekpieces added) last month; looks worth another try at this sort of trip and he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Lame when pulled up on last month's handicap debut at Kelso (2m6f, heavy); won on hurdle debut at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December before no match for two useful sorts there (2m3f, good to soft); could bounce back with good run in first-time cheekpieces now back on better ground. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran well in defeat in both bumpers and won on hurdle debut at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December; held in third there (2m3f, good to soft) since but he now goes handicapping off what could be a workable mark and the step up in trip is a possible plus. |
