13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Below form over hurdles here last month (2m, good) but had been running well over fences prior to that, with wins at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft; made all) and Southwell (2m, good); up in grade and 5lb out of the handicap, but could go well. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won on stable/chase debut at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) in February before bumping into progressive winner there (1m7f, good), and returned to winning ways at Southwell (2m, good) last month; 0-7 over hurdles but could be a very different proposition now; has same mark as last time. |

Won on his chase/stable debut at Catterick (by 4.5l; 1m7f, good to soft) and bumped into a big improver back there 20 days ago (on good); seriously considered off the same mark. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner who had her consistency rewarded with a 2.25l win at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) and the runner-up has since won at Haydock; a 7lb rise looks manageable. |
9/4 |
|
1st 6 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Point winner; still seeking the breakthrough under rules (0-9), her latest Catterick effort (2m; runner-up, 8-1, with Zumbi a well-beaten fourth) as good as what she offered at Sedgefield in November; place claims yet again. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 |

Point winner who is 0-8 under rules but has run some reasonable races over fences and is edging down the weights; each-way possible. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice on good ground (2m5f/2m3f) for this new stable last season and has been placed on last three appearances, most recently when second over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower today and seems very likely to be in the thick of things again. |

|
2nd 3 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Holding form well since January's Catterick success (2m3f, good), actually achieving more on RPRs when a close third at Newcastle latest; still well treated on his 2023-24 peak form, and no ground concerns. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Catterick in January (2m3f, good) and best form since when 0.5l second at Sedgefield last time (2m5f, good); conditions suit; chance. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Hasn't won for ages but nearly put that right when going down by a neck here on Saturday (2m5f, good); Leah Noreci rode then so he's without the 10lb claim this time; still respected with cheekpieces added. |
7/4 |

2nd 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fourth (2023) and eighth (2024) in this race previously, and winless for exactly four years now; place prospects only, therefore, a return to form at Newcastle latest notwithstanding. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Point winner who won a novice hurdle at Cartmel in May 2022 (2m6f, good); has run a couple of fair races over fences, including when fourth over an inadequate 2m here last time; step back up in trip will suit; place chance. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
10yo who is inconsistent and hasn't made an impact on her last two starts, but before those she was second at Southwell (2m, good to soft) and is 5lb lower than when second in this last year; not discounted. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made a winning start in this sphere over C&D in November and three times a runner-up since, latest (cheekpieces on) in 2m1f handicap at Market Rasen 17 days ago; big shout off an unchanged mark with headgear retained. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won a Sedgefield handicap in November (2m, soft) and was runner-up on next two starts; not so good on last two starts but likely to do better with cheekpieces tried; interesting. |
11/2 |
|
6th 2 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won on chase debut at Sedgefield (2m, soft) in November and runner-up on next two starts (1m7f/2m, heavy/good to soft); below par at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) last time, when lacking fluency and fading, but he could go well now back down in distance. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran well for a long way and seemed to have arrested his decline when fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month but was soundly beaten over that C&D 11 days ago and now has questions to answer again; drops back in trip with hood removed after one use. |
11/1 |

7th 8 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Chase winner in early 2024; generally disappointing since returning from long absence this year but ran well for a long way before weakening into fourth in C&D (good) contest won by De Deli Counter last month and has possibilities if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won over fences in 2024 (2m1f, soft) but soundly beaten in a hurdle race and two chases since returning from long absence in February; very unexposed over this sort of trip but needs to turn a corner. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |

Won a point last April and makes her chase debut today; however, she was pulled up over hurdles later last April to make it 0-19 under rules, and it was the same outcome in a point in November; others have less to prove. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden who needs to produce more than he's managed on his first two chase starts but he didn't run badly here last month on his final outing for Brian Francis Cawley and he starts out for his new stable with Sean Bowen booked; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Irish-trained 5yo who is one to watch in the betting; however, this 14-race maiden struggled to get competitive over hurdles last year and didn't jump well when well beaten on last month's chase debut at Down Royal. |
