12st 0lb |
Has looked in good nick since returning from wind surgery; however, he was close up behind Caughtinyourtrance here last month and he's 8lb higher now after winning a Class 3 handicap over 3m5f here two days later by 7.5l (Fairlawn Flyer third); he's still a major player with James Murray, aboard last time, again up top. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won by 5l at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) but after a bold ride she was comfortably reeled in on her return visit; probably able off this mark if this race pans out more effectively. |

2nd 2 |
1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Reliable sort who capitalised on a slipping mark when getting off the mark over C&D 22 days ago; back up 6lb but she can go well again. |

0-8 over fences but made the frame three consecutive times towards end of last year, perhaps most notably when third of ten at Lingfield (2m6f, good) on second occasion; contender if suited by this new trip. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in February 2025 (2m6f, heavy); two fair runs over fences this term (fell at the fourth last time) but taking on stronger company here. |
3/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Quick to show fairly useful (winning) form over hurdles and he's made a promising start in this sphere after 13 months off, runner-up in 3m1f handicap at Hereford 25 days ago; this lightly raced son of Mount Nelson looks to have more to offer; merits serious consideration eased 1lb. |

2nd 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won 2m6f Ffos Las maiden hurdle (heavy; second in a bumper on good) last February; switched to fences for his chase and handicap debut at Exeter (3m, heavy) 16 days ago and weakened as if that first outing for over 12 months was needed; open to improvement. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 2-6 over hurdles, though neither win came in a handicap; only one effort of note in five runs over fences and blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces; the stable probably has brighter prospects with Cosmic Soul. |
25/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Yet to score in this sphere but has made the frame on both starts since fitted with blinkers, albeit remote when third of six in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase 36 days ago; possibilities. |
13/2 |

3rd 6 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two novice hurdle wins last term (2m/2m4f, good) and he returned to form in first-time blinkers when going close here (2m3f, soft) last month on third chase start; kept on well last time so this step up in trip is worth a go; could have a part to play if the blinkers maintain their effect. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Shaped well when a debut hurdling second at Hexham in October 2024 but very lightly raced since and has failed to build on it, beating only one on his handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f) in January; this winning pointer could still do better now going chasing though. |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Point winner (3m, heavy) who was runner-up on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in October 2024; underwhelming on both outings since (good to soft/good), most recently her stable debut 67 days ago, but she could be a contender if tapping back into her initial promise on this handicap debut. |
13/2 |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Irish point winner; solid second, splitting subsequent scorers, in Hexham maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) six months ago in sole rules attempt; open to progress and respected. |
9/2 |
