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 |

3rd 7 |
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 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has progressed well with blinkers since his latest C&D win in April (good), scoring at Kelso and Perth (both over 2m on good) and finishing good second off a pound lower than today at Cartmel last month; chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here. |
3/1 |

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. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
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. |

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. |

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. |

9st 8lb |
21-race maiden (Flat/hurdles); runner-up over this C&D in January off a 7lb higher mark than today's but he's struggled since (Flat/hurdles); returns to the Flat with the tongue-tie discarded. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat three weeks ago and now 0-13 since joining Iain Jardine but was second to Alvesta over C&D (good) on latest hurdling start and is also suited by slower ground; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Did well to finish third after stumbling at the start at Carlisle (1m1f, good) last month and has since run well over hurdles; no issue with track, trip or ground conditions and has possibilities for a trainer who has won this three times since 2021. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

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. |

10st 5lb |
Fourth to Newport at Musselburgh (2m, soft; beaten 4l) last November; disappointing since, with no obvious uptick for wind surgery; handicap mark is in freefall and point win came over 3m, so there are some positives. |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

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 |

10th 5 |
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. |

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 |
