18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Started off for James Moffatt with two good-ground wins in May, the latter over C&D; ran as though something was amiss here three weeks ago but could still have more improvement to come for new stable if quickly back on song; cheekpieces (worn twice in 2024) are given another whirl. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

2-2 since joining James Moffatt, latest win over C&D last month (good); up another 7lb (15lb rise in total) but should go well again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |

11st 10lb |
Had two of these behind (including Passengerontheship, one of three next-time winners in the race) when second over C&D in early May (good); easy Kelso success since was the form equal of that effort, if too full of early errors for maximum comfort; career-high mark now. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Winning Irish pointer; yet to score under rules but she is proving reliable and comes here after a good second of 13 in 3m handicap chase at Hexham 22 days ago; very much one to consider off an unchanged mark. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C&D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

3rd 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Ran his best race for nearly two years when a close fourth over C&D last time (good) on his third start over fences; each-way chance on that form. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Bumped into progressive winner when runner-up over C&D (soft) last month on his second chase start but beaten 31l and only two completed, so it wasn't a good advertisement for his claims this afternoon. |
14/1 |

2nd 6 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Modest maiden hurdler who made mistakes when pulled up on chasing debut in 3m Ayr handicap last month; he needs to take a major step forward. |

Bumper winner on debut (2m1f, heavy); four fair runs with cheekpieces at up to 4m this year, all with give in the ground; worth considering. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-16 since winning on debut in March 2023 and he's 5lb out of the handicap today; however, he's been hinting in chases at about 3m this year that today's extra test of stamina may be right up his street; interesting for stable that had an excellent weekend. |

12/1 |
|
4th 9 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Took advantage of a final-fence error from The Clonmel Kid to get off the mark over fences at the 20th attempt over C&D (good; 10-1) 18 days ago; effectively 6lb higher from out of the weights today and her task is tougher; others preferred. |

11st 10lb |
Three wins over C&D on good ground last season, including in this race, his mark going up 14lb as a result; won over 1m7f off his new mark here last time; up another 4lb but should again be competitive. |
3/1 |

1st 11 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won three in a row over 3m here last spring (good/good to soft); returned from an absence with encouraging sixth over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) recently; however, he may well find today's trip inadequate. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In excellent form over fences last spring, winning three times at Hexham (3m, good/good to soft); can cope with drop back in trip for this first hurdling start since 2022 but has fitness to prove after 294-day layoff. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made a winning start for this trainer at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October; hasn't really built on that since (beaten 17l when second over just short of 3m at Newcastle latest) but this is a weak race and being dropped another 2lb can only help. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made a winning start for this trainer at Wetherby (2m5f, good; 4-1) in October, but she has found a few stronger since, including when a weakening third at Southwell (3m; beaten 12l) a fortnight ago; place possible, but no more than that from this mark. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Scored over fences in December 2024 but pulled up in that sphere in three consecutive races this year; resumed over hurdles last month with two solid efforts when third twice at this track, once over today's distance in a visor (retained); races prominently but needs his natural enthusiasm to be harnessed. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

After three successive pull-ups over fences he got back on track when close up in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Monday when in a first-time visor; if turned out again he'd command a level of respect. |

Major improver who made it 5-7 over fences when completing a five-timer over C&D (good) three weeks ago; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and this tough 7yo could continue on the upgrade; big player. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |

Has done well since tongue-tie went on, winning his last three races, all of them on good ground here, two at this trip and the latest at 3m; has gone up 16lb (6lb higher than last time); contender. |
