7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Infrequent winner (1-23) but has finished in the frame in three of his last four starts, going down by a short-head to the determined Heart Above at Kelso (2m5f, good) 19 days ago; bit more needed from this 2lb higher mark. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Didn't seem to stay 2m7f when below-par at Hexham last time, having run creditably on his two previous starts; could go well but on a long losing run. |

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

Only win came in a Southwell novice handicap in May 2024 (2m4f, good); good run when second at Sedgefield last time (2m4f, good); stamina to prove, but could be in the mix. |

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. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Still to get her head in front but she's made a positive start for Adam Nicol this term, runner-up to Cosmic Soul over C&D 13 days ago; she enjoys a 9lb pull in the weights now so this keen-going sort is a player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-11 but she's run okay on two of her three starts for this yard (2m5f/2m4f, good/good to soft; including here) and continues to edge down the weights; not ruled out each-way. |
9/1 |

6th 17 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ex-Nigel Hawke; creditable fourth in Sedgefield handicap (2m5f, good; 11-5 favourite) on stable debut in November and she may not have handled the heavy ground at Ayr (sixth of eight) last month; record is now 0-10 but she could be dangerous if she can bounce back near best. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Swapped usual cheekpieces for refitted visor and gave good account when third from 3lb out of the weights over C&D (good) on Saturday; will effectively be 1lb lower if he turns out again but his 0-42 career strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |

3rd 8 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ran well to a point when fourth in C&D selling handicap won by Alvesta in May but was beaten about 19l in the end and has been safely held in two subsequent chases; 3lb wrong today and now 0-40 under rules. |

2-17 over hurdles; not yet proven over quite this far but posted good effort when third at Perth (2m4f, good) this month and didn't run badly over 2m1f on only previous visit to Cartmel; could have a say. |

C&D winner off 6lb lower at this meeting last season when with Adam Nicol (good); has since won at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) but has a bit to find with Betteryouthanme on recent Hexham form. |

11st 2lb |
Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score over C&D (good) last month; hiked up 10lb for that and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but still an obvious one to consider. |

1st 10 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has shown bits of form that give him claims, such as when third at Perth (2m4f, good) in April, but pulled up at Hexham (2m7f, good) last month; his mark continues to fall but he needs to show more consistency. |

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. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

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. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

0-25 over hurdles but has posted some good efforts for new stable since the summer, most recently when second at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; also suited by slower ground; probably won't be far away. |
