18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Took a sizeable step forward when winning over C&D (soft) in February and he followed up at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago; he's 5lb higher than last time and is in much more competitive race today, but this progressive 6yo could still have more left in the tank. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Has made steady progress in the cheekpieces and would have won anyway last time at Ayr after being left clear late on (3m, soft); 4lb out of the weights so he's 9lb higher this time and in a stronger race to boot. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner on debut (2m1f, heavy); four fair runs with cheekpieces at up to 4m this year, all with give in the ground; worth considering. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-16 since winning on debut in March 2023 and he's 5lb out of the handicap today; however, he's been hinting in chases at about 3m this year that today's extra test of stamina may be right up his street; interesting for stable that had an excellent weekend. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won a C&D handicap on good to soft when back from a break in February; excuses for lesser run last time (heat stress); could bounce back. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who showed improved form on his third chase start to win at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) recently; also effective on soft/heavy; accounted for 13 rivals last time and he's a strong candidate up 6lb. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Flopped at Hexham in December on second chase start and something to prove on the back of that; however, this lightly raced bumper and two-time maiden hurdle runner-up wasn't devoid of promise when sixth on his chase/handicap debut at Kelso (2m7f, soft) in November and is not written off. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Couldn't hold on having been committed some way out on each recent C&D start, though split Perseus Way and Johnson's Blue in the first (soft) and recorded her best ever good-ground form in the latest; thereabouts. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Failed to build on an encouraging return over fences in November, but latest effort over hurdles following a break was a good step forward when a close second over C&D ten days ago; nudged up 3lb for that and yet to win in handicap company, which suggests she possibly remains on a tough enough mark. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made the running and returned to form at Ayr (3m, soft) in February, where she was 1l behind in second (clear of the rest) when falling at the final fence; the winner has followed up; could be well treated off a mark just 2lb higher than at Ayr; has shown promise on good to soft ground. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Promising third on her stable and chase debut here (2m4f, soft) in November, when 5lb higher; however, two lesser runs have followed (3m, soft; C&D most recently) and she needs to raise her game. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up on Irish point debut in November 2023 (soft) and made the frame on all five subsequent hurdling starts (2m1f-3m); makes chasing debut after 191-day absence but can be dangerous if fully tuned up. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Not devoid of promise when fifth from 15lb out of the handicap over C&D last month on second chase start; the return to Ayr could be a positive but lesser runs have followed at Catterick and Carlisle and he's 10lb wrong at the weights this afternoon; a major turnaround is needed. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not devoid of promise when fifth from 15lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month on second chase start; however, a lesser run followed at Catterick, where he ran in snatches; 3lb wrong today; has to raise his game. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
One from six in points (won over 3m on heavy) and very lightly raced under rules; from a long way out of the handicap he showed some promise when 15l fifth of 14 at Ayr (3m, soft) this month on his second chase start and he runs off an 8lb lower mark this afternoon; not discounted. |
