28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt over hurdles, over C&D (good) last month; 4lb higher but should give a good account in her follow-up bid. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Left previous yard for £1,400 in January but new trainer added a tongue-tie at Cartmel (2m6f, good) and he stayed on well for a close second; up 2lb but thereabouts with a repeat. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts for Jackie Stephen, the latest in early 2025; changed hands for £1,400 in January and has new tongue-tie fitted for this stable debut; 1lb wrong but worth a glance in the market. |

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 |
11st 4lb |
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. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Pulled up in point in March and safely held in two 2m Hexham novice hurdles for new stable this month; ought to be suited by the move back up in trip for this handicap debut, though, and remains unexposed under rules. |

3rd 1 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner; well-beaten 50-1 shot over C&D on stable/hurdle debut last week; best watched for now. |
25/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a point in April 2024 (soft/heavy) but recent runs in that sphere have been underwhelming; perhaps he'll be revived by a switch to Phil Kirby's stable but he's probably best watched unless strong in the market. |

0-8 over hurdles but ran well in defeat at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago, albeit in what looked a modest race, and enters calculations here. |

2nd 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nothing to show for four runs in handicaps and she's 5lb out of the weights here; what could help is the step up in trip from 2m4f. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

4lb wrong today in her fourth handicap and she has very ropey claims; maybe a move away from soft ground will help. |

Not beaten all that far in 2m6f/3m1f handicaps on last two starts but he was a weakener late on; others appeal more. |

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

After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Back below last winning mark (Carlisle, 2m4f) but pulled up at Ayr on penultimate start, and weakened into seventh at Cartmel (2m6f; beaten over 13l) 12 days ago; others more convincing at this stage. |
10/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Pulled up on soft ground at Ayr last month but this race is much less competitive and the quicker surface ought to suit him better; made the frame on his previous three outings and has each-way claims at least. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |

Exposed five-time winner who ran perfectly well back from an absence at Carlisle but it's never ideal being 5lb out of the weights in this competitive a handicap. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Arrested decline when third in first-time blinkers at Perth (3m, good) last month but this 12yo remains without a win since 2023 and it's hard to tell whether the new headgear will continue to have a positive effect. |
11/1 |

3rd 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Second of four on stable debut here last May (3m2f, good); hasn't run quite as well since but is now on a career-low mark; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Returned from layoff with quite encouraging C&D fourth (albeit well held in the end) on soft ground last month but is getting long in the tooth and today's faster ground is probably not in his favour; headgear refitted. |

Creditable second of 15 at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) just under a year ago but not seen again until a heavy defeat in December, and absent for 160 days since; considered only if lively in betting. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Came good with two wins in November (2m1f/1m7f); returned from break with two low-key runs this spring but remains unexposed over 2m4f and James King is an interesting jockey booking. |
