4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |

2nd 4 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Well beaten on last month's chasing debut but quickly got back in the groove on return to hurdling last week, winning readily by 7l at Stratford (2m2f, good; second run in cheekpieces); avoids a penalty and has obvious claims. |
11/8 |
|
1st 3 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Well beaten on last month's chasing debut (first-time cheekpieces) but ran well on consecutive hurdling starts beforehand, more notably when clear second at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) on first occasion; has tongue-tie added for this return to hurdling; dangerous if quickly back in the groove. |
11/4 |

7th 1 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went close on handicap debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f) in March before solid third at Taunton (3m, also good) one month later; drops sharply back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted and he remains unexposed on this introduction to fences. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but he went close in a Southwell handicap (2m, good to soft) in December; was never really travelling when a well-held third at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month but that was after a short break and cheekpieces are now added; dangerous if he can get back near best. |

3rd 1 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles but kept on to be placed on both 2m starts since his wind op in November and looks well worth another go over today's longer trip; might be the answer. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles but showed the benefit of a wind op when keeping on well for clear second behind odds-on favourite at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and is respected, despite going up 5lb for that run. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran fairly well for fourth at Hexham (2m7f, good) but that made it 0-35; not hard to take on. |
14/1 |
|
4th 9 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when fourth from out of the weights in quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in March but was well beaten when tried in a visor in April (2m4f) and is now 0-31 over hurdles; sports refitted cheekpieces here; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |
|
5th 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Only a respectable fourth of five at Sedgefield a fortnight ago, extending his losing run to 33; has a first-time visor added to his regular tongue-tie now. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
RPR of 99 for his early-2025 Wetherby novice third (2m4f, soft) increasingly looks an outlier; wind surgery hasn't been able to prevent two further weak finishes since, and hopes now rest with the tongue-tie. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed in a pair of 2m4f Wetherby novice hurdles in 2024-25; very lightly raced since and has failed to go on, undergoing breathing surgery before coming in a well-held fifth of seven in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 18 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
14/1 |

5th 3 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Absent since very disappointing seasonal/chase debut in November (had wind op soon afterwards) and not easy to weigh up here but all three hurdle runs last season (2m3f-2m4f) were encouraging and he remains lightly raced. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Son of Soldier Of Fortune who was fitted with cheekpieces but failed to build on earlier promise when sixth of seven on handicap debut over C&D 22 days ago; he's in good hands though and might be worth another chance. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Unable to land a telling blow in three maiden/novice hurdles since his respectable bumper debut here last April but wasn't beaten all that far at Ludlow (2m, soft) three weeks ago; upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut; one of two unexposed runners from the stable in this race. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

His third in a small-field bumper didn't amount to much and has been beaten 35l and 21l over hurdles; one for another day, perhaps. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-8 over hurdles, having ended last season with some disappointing efforts; 3lb out of the weights here and needs April's wind operation to have made a big difference. |
25/1 |

11th 16 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Last of seven in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 15 days ago; very hard to make a case for in his bid for a maiden win from 4lb out of the handicap. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-6 over hurdles but made encouraging seasonal debut when third of six here (2m5f, soft) in December, and can probably be excused for finding 2m7f on heavy ground too taxing at Newcastle in January. |
