2nd 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Has soon left all his hurdle form behind over fences and arrives here on a hat-trick after clearcut wins in Class 5 soft-ground handicaps over similar trips at Catterick and Wetherby; the concerns are whether he can deal with the latest 10lb rise in classier company and drying ground might not be ideal. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Kept on for third here (2m3f, soft) in December on second chase start and improved for the step up in trip to win at Catterick (3m1f, soft) last month, beating Court At Slip by 10l; unexposed over staying distances and he's a strong contender up 7lb for last time. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up over 4m here last time (soft); plenty of decent placed efforts in 3m chases before that; has an each-way chance. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Without a win since December 2023 but this consistent sort has finished second at Catterick (3m1f/3m, soft) on his last two starts and ran well over 3m6f there in January 2024; each-way claims. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-11 under rules; didn't run badly when back over hurdles in March but was safely held in both chases last season (2m7f/3m) and has become disappointing. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
No worthwhile form in his handicaps over hurdles and last two chase runs were also underwhelming. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Struggled in handicap hurdles last season and soundly beaten at 40-1 on his chase/seasonal debut at Kelso in November; however, this point winner could improve for that latest outing and take a step forward today. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
In new cheekpieces when second to a thriving rival at Carlisle (3m, good) and won't be far away if as good again. |
10/1 |

2nd 9 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back from layoff with three disappointing runs this season and now 0-4 over fences; needs combination of drier ground and first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who finished runner-up in four points; however, pulled up over fences on last two starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Three chase wins for Maurice Barnes including over C&D in March 2025 (good to soft); well beaten last three starts; 5lb out of the handicap for stable debut. |

Won this race off a 4lb lower mark last season (Hawkseye View third); mixed form this season, but the drier ground will suit and has an each-way chance. |

Extremely hard to win with and modest runs outweigh the good ones these days. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

Good third at Market Rasen two runs back (2m1f, good to soft); hard to win with, but an each-way chance; new combination of headgear tried. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Eighth foal; brother to bumper/2m4f hurdle winner Bells On Sunday, closely related to useful bumper/2m hurdle winner Top Bandit, half-brother to winners Spirit Of Shankly (useful bumper and 2m-3m jumps) and Lagonda (2m7f hurdle); dam 2m1f hurdle winner; his three runs in British points don't read nearly so well; gelded since. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Third in a point-to-point last month but this 12yo was pulled up when back under rules at Ayr (3m, soft) recently; 7lb out of the handicap and others are preferred. |
