17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Versatile trip-wise as his recent run of solid form has been from 1m7f to 3m; should give his running but does look vulnerable off this high a mark in this strong a race. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Has won at about this trip but he was well beaten in this race last year and, despite a 2m1f win at Newcastle last time out, he could have his work cut out at this competitive level. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won his maiden here over 2m4f; a number of good runs in handicaps and 3m looked a stretch in a Class 2 at Musselburgh last time; something to prove over quite this sharp a trip but definite chance if he copes with it. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Winner of a C&D novice hurdle in September (good to soft); mainly fair form since, although only third of four at 1-2 in a Newcastle handicap last time (2m1f, good to soft); tongue-tie now tried; each-way chance. |
8/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Made all to win novice at Perth (2m, good to soft) in September and resumed his progression when second over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; leading claims for yard in a rich vein of form. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |

In two 2m novices he won at Perth before a rallying third at Ayr; handicap debut was underwhelming but that was over 2m4f and perhaps this is his trip. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Lightly raced; second hurdles win at Doncaster in March (second run at 2m5f, good to soft); stiffer task on this 7lb higher mark but a chance. |

Won an Ayr novice in November 2024 (2m, good to soft); subsequently finished runner-up in a 2m4f handicap chase; fair third back over hurdles at Newcastle last time (2m1f, good to soft) and could go well back up to 2m4f. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April and followed up at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; he's performed respectably here (2m6f, good to soft) and at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) since and this lightly raced 6yo may still have more to offer, especially now back up in trip. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-5 over hurdles with a comfortable 2m4f win here in December but off this 7lb higher mark he was never on an even keel when fourth at Kelso (2m6f); perhaps the track didn't help and, while it's surprising to see him back at 2m1f, he's a respected runner. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has six wins on the Flat but his last of four successes over hurdles came four years ago; continues to drop in the weights without looking likely to take advantage. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Remains capable at the age of 10 (won on the Flat in October) but it's been hard work back over hurdles, albeit in a pair of Class 2 handicaps; looks vulnerable. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Useful dual-purpose performer in his youth; had a long spell on the sidelines prior to his return in February and he's struggled on the Flat and over hurdles this year; down in the weights and he was prominent in the betting last time so he can't be dismissed. |

11st 10lb |
Beaten about 13l when seventh of nine on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February; however, this 5yo showed promise previously and his pedigree hints that this step up in trip will be a plus. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |

Ran well in a bumper here and has shown enough in his hurdle races to believe he can make a mark in handicaps; not that this is the easiest of starters. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Off the mark on his second start over hurdles at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in January for Olly Murphy; promising second on chase debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month and subsequently sold for £30,000 to join new connections; third of five at Southwell (2m, good) 17 days ago on stable debut and will be more at home over this longer distance; lightly raced and there may be better to come. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced, he opened his account when winning a maiden hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in January; made a pleasing start over fences when runner-up at this track (2m4f, good) last month on his handicap debut, before leaving Olly Murphy for £30,000; drops back in trip without the hood worn previously and has potential to improve over fences. |
3/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Won his maiden on heavy ground before racing too freely and not getting home when made favourite for his handicap debut (2m1f, good to soft); has further to go now on this switch to fences but he remains unexposed. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made all to win a 2m novice hurdle here last April and follow-up effort when runner-up in a handicap at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) was promising; however, both hurdling efforts since haven't been so good and he was a mid-race faller on last month's chase debut; should stay this far and he's on a competitive mark if recapturing initial promise. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won the novice hurdle (2m, good) on this card 12 months ago; he needs to improve upon what he produced in two handicap hurdles in February but the return to Hexham could help and he might be suited by the switch to fences. |
