15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Made the most of a reduced mark to snap his losing run over 2m4f at Newcastle (good) and a 4lb rise should be workable if he can repeat that performance; has held his form in the past. |
9/2 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
21 months since his last win, an authoritative one in the Perth Silver Cup (2m4f, good to firm; from 5lb higher); beaten 26l, 16l and 14l respectively in three runs since April 2025; good ground is ideal, so probably worth considering with his trainer in such fine form. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 2m 1f 120y |
11st 3lb |
Killarney maiden hurdle winner in July 2023; rated 127 in that sphere; mixed bag since and has finished well-beaten on both chase starts, over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and 23.5f at Killarney on latest; surely capable of better and the drop back in trip here should suit; gets weight from his rivals and has a chance if on a going day. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Has made a positive start for her current yard, scoring at Market Rasen (2m4f) in November and backing it up with a good second of 11 at Carlisle (2m1f) in February; well in the mix after a break with few miles on the clock. |
9/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Off the mark for the season in a 2m4f mares' handicap at Musselburgh last time (good to soft); this looks harder, but has an each-way chance. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won over fences here (2m, good; in first-time blinkers - two finished) last June; runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f) in April, but low key at Kelso subsequently; returns to hurdles for the first time since finishing tailed off over C&D last October; others more appealing. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has won four chases, the latest off 1lb lower at Hexham last June (1m7f, good); good second following a break at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good); should go well again. |

11st 11lb |
By no means an instant success over fences but came good in a small field here last week (good); returns to hurdles off the very same mark and he did win a maiden in this discipline. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a 2m4f Sedgefield maiden hurdle last September, but has failed to make an impact in her two starts over fences; has another go on her handicap debut but will need to improve. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Won a 2m4f Sedgefield maiden hurdle last September; twice well beaten over fences but mostly solid efforts in defeat over hurdles since; has a bit to find with some of these. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 for Adam Nicol, winning easily over 2m here (good; Dream Jet 35l away in third) 18 days ago; the handicapper has taken another hit - 13lb higher - but it mightn't be enough to thwart the hat-trick bid; the only slight reservation being this 2m4f trip. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Well supported when landing his second C&D success (good to soft) on his stable debut ten days ago following a five-month break; 8lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in again. |
