7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Long on the tooth now but was in good form when last seen in the spring, winning at Hexham (3m, good to soft) before chasing home Sir Carnegie over same C&D (good); dangerous if allowed to dominate. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Stayed on to win this off topweight back in 2023, and gamely back in the winners' enclosure over C&D (from 5lb lower) latest; his jumping was immaculate that day, with his trainer stating that he had drawn benefit from being able to dominate; this rates as a tougher test. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Winning hurdler but yet to score after four runs over fences; good second at Hexham two runs back (3m, good to soft; first run after wind op and in cheekpieces) but poor last time; could bounce back with visor now tried. |
7/2 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner who went close to breaking his duck over fences off this mark at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last month, with a tongue-tie added to refitted cheekpieces following a second wind operation; merits serious consideration back over hurdles with the stable in good form. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

Yet to win over fences, but creditable second at Wetherby in March (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces tried); has had wind surgery since fair fourth at Carlisle last month (3m, good; blinkers on); tongue-tie plus cheekpieces this time; chance. |

Has won over 4m so did well to win over 3m here (good; has won on soft) in October when only 2lb lower; comfortably held since at Uttoxeter (3m2f) but has the form and attributes to feature in a race of this nature. |

10st 6lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences (despite a lower mark) and was beaten a good way at Hexham (3m) on his return to this discipline after a break; the other two appeal more. |
100/30 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, including over 2m on heavy ground here; decent second over fences at Sedgefield in October (3m2f, good) but last two runs have been over hurdles (took a heavy fall when running well last time); a possible. |

Had a break since finishing lame when second on his return to hurdles at Newcastle in October (2m7f, good; handles softer); looks high in the weights now but he's likeably consistent. |

Won off today's mark at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft; first-time visor) towards end of last season but is yet to build upon his pleasing reappearance run in October and needs to up his game. |

Not totally solid on form this season, having failed to back up reappearance effort; however, has slipped back to last winning mark and may prove resurgent. |

Without a win since December 2023 but this consistent sort has finished second at Catterick (3m1f/3m, soft) on his last two starts and ran well over 3m6f there in January 2024; each-way claims. |

Ex-Olly Murphy; off the mark for present yard when winning five-runner handicap chase by a short head at Fontwell last time (3m2f, good); up 3lb; interesting. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All four wins have came over fences Andy Irvine; her last success was in January 2024 but that was at this track (3m3f) and she returned to form with a creditable third over hurdles here (3m2f, soft) last month; that was only her second start since rejoining her former stable and she's in the mix back over fences. |

All four wins have came over fences for Andy Irvine; had no joy in three starts for Olly Murphy and rejoined former stable before pulling up at Exeter (3m6f, heavy) last month; bids to exploit 10lb lower mark over hurdles; needs to show more. |

Made a winning start over fences at Newcastle (2m7f) in October; has failed to build on it though and she unseated her rider at Hexham (3m) two weeks ago; has a bit to prove. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Won a three-runner handicap at Newcastle on chase debut in October (2m7f, good); no easy task when pulled up in Lincolnshire National last time; unexposed as a chaser and should improve. |
