2nd 4 |
18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Has a record of 2-2 over C&D when the ground is good, namely wins in the same March contest (Class 4) for the last two years; upped in grade but still looks interesting returned to this scenario with Kelso reappearance (2m5f) under his belt. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won by 9l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in March when last seen; an 8lb higher mark and different trip give him questions to answer on this first outing since but he's not ruled out. |

Won this last year when 2lb higher (good); ran well in fifth of 15 at Catterick in January, when not quite seeing out the 2m3f trip, and he unseated mid-race there last time; could have a big part to play. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in his first handicap (on good) before making all the running on soft ground at Hexham; went up 9lb for that but failed to give his true running at Perth after racing freely; not yet exposed. |

Runner-up in his first handicap (on good) and then made all the running on soft ground at Hexham, beating Scots Poet by some 17l; raised 9lb for that but he's far from exposed. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
C&D maiden winner (October 2025); back in better form, runner-up at Market Rasen in July and bang there when third to Saint Polo over C&D (good to firm) latest; yet to win a handicap but likely to give her best. |
9/2 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Only win was in a C&D maiden hurdle in October 2025 (good); fair second of four at Market Rasen last time (2m, good); not out of it. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only win in 12 hurdle starts was a maiden; likes to crack on with things and probably went off a bit too hot when a well-held fourth at Cartmel (2m1f; after 99 days off); has another front-runner to deal with in Hello Sweety, but the ability is there to win off this mark. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Sole hurdles win at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; from 8lb higher) in October 2024; consistent this year, without necessarily looking ready to win again; third to better-fancied stablemate Cosmic Soul at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) nine weeks ago. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Down the field when 9-2 for last month's handicap hurdle debut over 2m4f at Ayr; however, trainer's representative reported he may have been unsuited by the soft, heavy in places ground; showed promise in three juvenile hurdles towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft) and this 4yo retains potential back down in trip and back on better ground. |
4/1 |
|
9th 11 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
0-9 on the Flat but he's shown promise on all three hurdle starts and has potential off his opening mark judged on his close second at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; receives handy 4yo allowance and he could have a big part to play if seeing out this new trip. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not threatened to supplement March 2025's lucky Catterick novice success (2m, good) in five starts since almost a year off, including over this C&D latest; tongue-tie returns. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Ex-French mare; fortunate to win small-field Catterick novice (1m7f, good) for Paula Smith on British debut in March 2025 and soundly beaten in all five subsequent handicaps, the last four times for new stable this year; drops back in trip (from 2m4f). |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Went close to shedding the maiden tag when runner-up over 2m4f here and backed that up with another solid second over C&D 17 days ago; only 1lb higher and the booking of William Maggs catches the eye, so he looks a leading contender. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish; unexposed hurdler who put up a career best when runner-up in a 2m4f handicap here last time (good); this longer trip should suit; a possible. |
12/1 |

2nd 9 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
One bit of ability (in cheekpieces) from four starts in Ireland; another in the first (2m4f, soft) of two handicap runs for this stable, which still demands big overall improvement but cheekpieces are now restored. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Made a winning start over fences at Bangor (2m1f) in May and doubled his tally for the season back hurdling at Uttoxeter (2m) in July; not at his best when last of three in 2m1f Sedgefield handicap hurdle 22 days ago, though. |

3rd 2 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Won chase debut in May and returned to hurdling with narrow success at Uttoxeter two months ago (2m, good; 3lb lower); too hit and miss for comfort (tailed off behind Pergamon in April) but has a big shout if on his game. |
