21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on Sunday, and in some style too, eased after surging well clear from three out; looks well in under a penalty; has a good chance of following up. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Maiden whose penultimate effort (in May 2024) suggests there may be an ordinary handicap in him; showed signs of retaining ability, while looking in need of the run, on belated return to action; not ruled out. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has failed to show peak form since returning from long layoff but has done enough to suggest he's interesting off current mark dropped in grade and belatedly returned to Musselburgh; dual course winner as a youngster. |
7/2 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
No win since his juvenile campaign; long absence prior to two efforts this term, seeming to need July run then faring better in October; still needs to prove he retains peak ability but market support should be noted. |
9/2 |

Won three races in his first season over hurdles; not scored since, although fair second in a Perth handicap in September 2023 (2m, soft); had a long break after that and was well beaten on his return; should fare better this time. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home over C&D (good) last month and has now won three of his last four; probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 5lb rise but must be considered in current mood. |
4/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Exposed multiple winner; he would have found the ground too soft when beaten by King Sacre at Hexham and then dug deep to win at Kelso (2m, good; 5lb lower); entitled to have some say. |

10st 9lb |
Went close at Kelso (2m5f, good) last April but has not made a serious impact this season; now 8lb below the Kelso mark but 0-17 as a hurdler; a hood returns, after it was last fitted in 2023. |
4/1 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Went close at Kelso (2m5f) last spring; has regressive form this term, taking record over hurdles to 0-16, but gives the impression this belated drop back to about 2m is worth exploring. |

11st 7lb |
Three-time French Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles having been below par on her three outings this term; however, she's well handicapped on last season's best efforts and is not written off. |

Eight-race maiden; hasn't been in best of form on the Flat and has plenty to find on his latest run over hurdles. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

19-race maiden; runner-up at Newcastle (12.5f, AW) in January, but no identifiable positives since; swiftly reverts to the Flat after well held over hurdles at Perth 11 days ago. |

Placed in Musselburgh maiden (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has looked out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat in recent months (had wind op before latest run); needs to turn a corner. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
4yo who has shown ability on the Flat and it's still very early days over hurdles; however, he was soundly beaten on his handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile hurdler who may show improvement off his opening hurdles mark; 0-9 overall but looks favourably treated with his Flat rating in mind and Gregor Walkingshaw takes off a bonus 10lb. |
8/1 |

6th 4 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

0-6 on the Flat and failed to progress; ran okay when sixth of ten at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day on his second hurdle start but others have achieved considerably more. |

0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |

Sole win from 22 starts came at Cork in April 2023; went very close over hurdles here in March and was second of ten behind an improving filly at Ayr (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; can go well after 1lb nudge. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Promising fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in December but suffered heavy defeats on final two starts last season, the latter over C&D, and needs subsequent wind op to have made a big difference. |
20/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Tailed off at Musselburgh in February when last seen and hard to fancy on the back of that; however, two starts ago she ran well in fourth on her handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) and this very lightly raced point winner is not written off. |
16/1 |

Irish point winner; absent since running well in C&D contest (soft) on handicap debut ten weeks ago when dropped further in trip; possibilities off same mark, provided she builds on that effort; tongue-tie applied. |

A fair 1m4f AW winner for Hughie Morrison in 2023; seemed only poor over hurdles for Steph Cameron subsequently, pulled up at Uttoxeter 27 days ago; returns to this sphere for her new handler with something to prove. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
