20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Readily drew clear to win valuable series final by 9l at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 2-5 over fences; went up 11lb for that but could have untapped potential over this longer trip; respected. |

Record of 132 since wearing tongue-tie and cheekpieces, beaten only narrowly by Trac over C&D most recently; raced just four times over fences and may do better still; possibilities in the retained headgear. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well stepped back up to 2m4f last time when bidding for an Ayr double; remains a consistent sort and again looks likely to give his running; each-way possibilities. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up over C&D in November and made it 2-8 over fences when winning in good style here (2m, soft) last month; this progressive 7yo may well take a 6lb rise in his stride. |

Took well to fences last season, winning at Hexham (1m7f, soft), and reappeared with solid second here (2m4f, soft) in November; in front rank when unseating in back straight at Newcastle last time; on the shortlist. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Runner-up to Upfordebate in this last year and he returns on the back of some good efforts at Cartmel; high in the weights but likely to be in the thick of it. |
15/2 |
|
4th 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Showed career-best form when winning quite comfortably over C&D (good) last month, his fifth success here; moves up in grade today but recent 4lb rise could have been worse, and he won't mind what the weather does. |

11st 7lb |
Won at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and Cartmel (2m5f, good) in June and he's been a good third on his last two starts (2m5f/3m, good); he should be fine at today's shorter distance and holds solid claims. |
11/10 |
|
3rd 7 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Generally in good form this summer, winning at Cartmel in June (2m5f, good) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time and last time coming home third in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m6f, good to soft); has also finished second over C&D; should go well again. |
11/2 |

2 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Back in prime form since swapping cheekpieces for a visor in June, winning here (2m5f, good) before commendable third in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (nearly 2m7f, good); unraced beyond 3m but soft ground won't faze him and he can make a bold bid from the front. |

11st 1lb |
Landed the 2m series final on this card in 2024; two from two since wearing blinkers, gamely beating Wolfburg by a head over C&D (good to soft) latest; respected in the retained blinds. |

Returned to form to win in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; back up 5lb he remains 2lb lower than when scoring here (2m, heavy) in April 2024 and he's one to consider. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hurdle winner (2m7f) who made it 2-8 over fences when scoring under a prominent ride at Fontwell (2m4f, good) in May; didn't have much in hand but he's only 2lb higher on his return and he had a near-miss over 3m1f on his reappearance last December; key player for in-form yard. |
7/4 |
|
1st 7 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in February and was runner-up on his return visit over 2m5f two weeks later; looks interesting on that form but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Carlisle in March. |
12/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

Sound performances (won then good second) at Sedgefield last month, while leaving the impression this return to a right-handed track will prove ideal; may still have more to offer over fences; in the mix. |

Progressive for new stable, winning four times, until form dipped sharply in last two outings; has seemingly gone off the boil and may be in the assessor's grip now to boot. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |

Tailed off at Leicester (2m6f, good to soft) last month but highly progressive for new yard previously, winning four times (2m4f/3m, good to soft/heavy); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Well treated on his best form, now 9lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March 2025, but he has been struggling, including with his jumping; cheekpieces off, tongue-strap on. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

Has lacked fluency at times this season; otherwise an interesting type as he's on a very handy mark and this looks the time to catch him (gained last two wins in spring months). |

5th 12 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |

Yet to score this term but he arrives in decent nick, scuppered by a bad error when sixth over C&D last month; possibilities off a 2lb lower mark. |

25/1 |
|
8th 9 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Scored off 1lb lower over fences at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) for Joel Parkinson and Sue Smith in March but was sold out of that stable for £2,000 after ending last season with two disappointing runs; back hurdling for new stable after five-month break and with usual cheekpieces left off. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

Made it 12th-time lucky over fences when scoring over C&D (good to soft; from 2lb lower) three starts back; excuses since - fell, and then out of depth in a valuable Class 2 Series Final at Carlisle; could bounce back with Danny McMenamin returning to the saddle. |

Carlisle specialist; sits close to a career-high mark following a gritty win there (2m, good to soft) in February; "never travelling and jumped poorly" in the Monet's Garden Series Final there three weeks ago; bit to prove for the time being, even acknowledging a 2024 C&D win. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

Record of 6-10 over fences at Carlisle features wins in this race last year (on good ground) and latest outing (2m); on a career-high mark but commands major respect kept to this venue. |
6/1 |

1st 7 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won here (2m4f, good) in October and followed up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); below par at Newcastle and Wetherby since and arrives with something to prove, but he's back on his last winning mark and ten visits to Carlisle have yielded five wins (various ground); not ruled out now back here. |

Five chase wins, the latest a three-runner handicap at Kelso in May (2m7f, good); finished a long way behind a couple of these over C&D next time but shaped better when third here last time; each-way chance. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |

Won three-runner contest at Kelso (2m7f, good) in May and is still on a workable mark but never really got competitive in last month's Perth Gold Cup and needs to put that run behind him. |
8/1 |

8th 7 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 5-12 over fences when readily taking care of two rivals over a similar trip at Kelso a month ago (good; made most); only 3lb higher but without Jack Power's 5lb claim, so at this level he's probably in need of his best form yet. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
