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. |

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. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Gained a first win for two years at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and backed it up with a good second of nine in 2m Hexham handicap 15 days ago when set a lot to do; this veteran is not taken lightly eased 1lb. |

Mainly in good form this year, gaining a well-deserved win at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good; blinkers on for fourth time); up 4lb; could go well again. |

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. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in January but he's struggled over hurdles and on the Flat subsequently and is now 0-17; hopes are pinned on wind surgery prompting a major turnaround. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-16 under all codes; didn't run badly when fifth over hurdles at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February but suffered a heavy defeat on AW last month and makes only limited appeal. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

Inconsistent maiden for three yards who was always well positioned when second in an ordinary 0-60 handicap over C&D in January; since well beaten over hurdles and others hold stronger claims. |

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. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
0-8 over hurdles and has a tendency to race too freely but ran by far his best race for Iain Jardine when very close second at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March, and remains well handicapped on older Irish form. |
8/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Ex-Irish; beaten 30l and more over hurdles in first four British starts but back to life for a short-head defeat 13 days ago (second run after wind surgery); now returns to Flat, in which sphere he's 1-9 having won a maiden in 2023 and been second in a 1m5f handicap last July; needs a second look. |

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. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
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. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |

Bought for £42,000 soon after winning Irish point in April; showed something to build on when 10l third of five on hurdling debut at Kelso (2m5f, good; 6-1) last month; should improve and not ruled out. |

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 |
