2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got up in the last stride to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 7lb lower mark (trained by Stuart Coltherd); in fine form for new stable in 2026 with his win in a C&D handicap in June sandwiched by a pair of hurdle wins at Hexham; another solid hurdle run 73 days ago; needs serious consideration. |

2nd 1 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Bidding for a hat-trick of hurdle wins having won his last two races over 2m4f here, last time beating Well Educated by 9l; won over 1m5f on the Flat at Hamilton in between (good); 9lb higher than last win, but a chance despite dropping back in trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
5lb higher mark than for last month's soft-ground C&D victory over Sunset Hill and Johnson's Blue still reads favourably next to his 2022-23 peak RPRs; Flat scorer at Hamilton since (1m5f, good), and plainly on fine terms with himself again; player. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Couldn't hold on having been committed some way out on each recent C&D start, though split Perseus Way and Johnson's Blue in the first (soft) and recorded her best ever good-ground form in the latest; thereabouts. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Failed to build on an encouraging return over fences in November, but latest effort over hurdles following a break was a good step forward when a close second over C&D ten days ago; nudged up 3lb for that and yet to win in handicap company, which suggests she possibly remains on a tough enough mark. |

On the face of it work on to reverse recent C&D form with Perseus Way and Sunset Hill despite a swing in the weights, but course record prior to that read four wins and (off 8lb higher) a short head second in this race last year ahead of two reopposing rivals; respected. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |

Tailed off on his final hurdle start in November and three subsequent chase runs leave him with further questions to answer; potentially on a useful mark if he can get back on track, but there are clearly risks attached. |

Useful novice two seasons ago, last win over 2m here in March 2025; below his best on both starts last season; cheekpieces now tried; needs to bounce back. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |

Won a Wetherby novice (2m, good to soft) and a Hexham handicap off 6lb lower (2m, good to soft) last season; pulled up at Bangor in November on only start this term; unproven at this trip but an interesting contender. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bagged a pair of 2m4f Hexham wins in the spring and comes here on the back of a good second of seven to Dream's Ka over C&D last month; enjoys a 2lb weights pull here, so very much one to consider. |
9/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

10yo who had two wins at Hexham (soft/good) this spring before a backward step when bidding to complete his hat-trick over that 2m4f; ridden by Charlie Maggs on last four starts; each-way candidate. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from long absence with two respectable runs this spring (2m4f/2m7f); has a point to prove after a lesser effort last month but will be favoured by the forecast rain here and is Olly Murphy's only runner on the card; worth a second look. |
6/1 |

5th 2 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Has had only four races for Olly Murphy, the last two after a long absence; held his own in a 2m7f Worcester handicap last month won by the progressive Sunray Shadow who contests the previous race; fair shout off just 1lb higher. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Took a step forward on just his second run for Olly Murphy when landing 3m1f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in October 2024; went without his usual cheekpieces after 17 months off when a never-dangerous sixth in 2m4f Hexham handicap last month; can strip sharper now with headgear refitted. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Grade 2 bumper in 2023 and he's a useful hurdler; some respectable efforts switched to the Flat this year (1m3f/1m1f) and he could take a sizeable step forward now up in trip on his Flat handicap debut; certainly has potential off his opening mark in view of his hurdling ability. |
6/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner in 2023; useful hurdler subsequently; he's run okay recently over about 1m3f on his first two Flat starts but will be of greater interest when tackling further in handicaps. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner in April 2023, who also won twice over hurdles (2m) for Nicky Richards; 22-1, lacked the pace to challenge when fifth of nine on Flat debut at Haydock (11.5f, soft; Yafreh about 1l ahead in fourth) three weeks ago; likely to be seen in a better light once handicapping. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |

Not really firing on all cylinders since scrambling home by a neck on seasonal debut at Carlisle (3m, good) in October but now 6lb below that mark, and didn't run badly when last of five finishers here (3m2f, good to soft) in March; had another wind op (his third) soon after that latest outing; one to consider. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Last win was off a higher mark and he'll appreciate returning to further after chasing home a good thing over 2m4f at Ayr (soft; fine on good ground); that was a welcome return to form; definite chance if he can back it up. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |

Easily made all in this last year when 5lb higher and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's struggled for form over fences/hurdles since winning a novice chase at Kelso in December. |

11st 7lb |
Three-time course winner including this race off a 6lb higher mark a year ago; effective on good and soft ground but has looked badly out of sorts on all three appearances (one over C&D) this season and needs a revival. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Happiest hunting ground is Cartmel, but a record of 225244P around today's C&D includes a neck second in this race in 2024 off 5lb lower, with Well Educated 23l behind; miles off his best in one start apiece at each of these venues so far this term, however. |
33/1 |

8th 3 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up on soft ground this month, after a layoff, but this three-time course winner is now only 1lb higher than when holding on for narrow C&D (good) success last summer; dangerous to ignore. |
