18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
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 |
11st 9lb |
The tongue-tie has made a difference and he completed a Hexham four-timer five days ago (2m4f, good); only two others got round but he's on a roll and might be well in with a penalty. |

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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Overall record of 0-12 but she's unexposed over fences and went clear some way out before fading into a 9l fourth here (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could make a bold bid on this drop back in trip; hood removed. |
3/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Ran some fair races in defeat over hurdles and a similar story in two runs over fences in races won by the improving Passengerontheship who runs earlier on this card; hood fitted for the penultimate run returns; might not be far away. |
6/1 |

5th 9 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Maiden under rules (0-10), but she posted a series of consistent efforts over hurdles; tried to make all in an added hood over C&D (chase debut) latest, succumbing to the stronger finish of Passengerontheship; is 5lb better off with 7l too find; the task isn't impossible. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle in February and made a winning chase debut over C&D (good) 17 days ago; only four of the 13 managed to complete but a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a novice handicap hurdle at Carlisle in February (2m3f, soft); creditable second over 3m at Doncaster next time but was disappointing with cheekpieces tried at Musselburgh last time (3m, good to soft; reportedly never travelled); headgear retained for chase debut. |
10/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Won at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last month on third handicap start and 14l second of seven at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) 13 days later; kept to a similar trip, today's sharper track could be a positive, and this lightly raced 6yo wears first-time cheekpieces; remains open to improvement. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; not beaten that far when fifth of seven here (2m5f, good) three weeks ago and might be better suited by today's trip but others in this line-up have much more obvious claims. |
25/1 |

5th 5 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Ex-Irish ten-race maiden who is also 0-4 in points; tailed off in his two completed starts for this yard, finishing well behind Out On Her Own in one of those. |
33/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Placed in a 3m point at Loughanmore for Tom Dreaper last October; badly hampered and unseated rider on stable debut, but left toiling behind Passengerontheship (beaten 78l) over 2m4f here 18 days ago; tough to consider on that evidence. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up in a point but he has shown very little since sent over hurdles, beating one on his handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f) in January; now goes chasing on the back of a wind operation. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-10 over hurdles and out of sorts since returning last November; beaten 35l at Perth last month in first-time cheekpieces which are retained here on chase debut; hard to make a case for. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Ran a couple of reasonable races towards the end of last season and he's dropped down the weights; however, he's been pulled up on all three starts this term; transformation needed in first-time cheekpieces. |
100/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |

0-8 over hurdles, having been pulled up on both outings this season; had wind op during 111-day break; others have much less to prove. |
