29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score here (2m6f, good) in June; managed only fourth (just behind Secret Secret) off new mark here last month but might have untapped potential over this new trip. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score over C&D (good) last month; hiked up 10lb for that and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but still an obvious one to consider. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle in March (2m4f, good to soft); fair run when fourth stepped up to 3m at Southwell last time; each-way chance. |
7/1 |

4th 9 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, but ran poorly when dropped back to 2m last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on first attempt at 3m under rules. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Seemed to have been aided by a wind op when placed at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) in April, his second handicap, but was pulled up on next two outings (latter was chase debut) and has since left Ben Pauling; has tongue-tie refitted for stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner; 0-6 over hurdles and needs to bounce back from a poor run but his third of 14 at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) in April was a good effort; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces on chasing debut; could have a say if back on song. |

Placed over 2m6f on good ground here on all three starts for new stable this season, but has stamina to prove over this new trip and the forecast rain is probably not in his favour. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual AW winner; 0-9 over hurdles and not bred to benefit from this step up in trip but was keeping on at the end of 2m4f when placed here (good) last month and has possibilities if stamina holds out. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Dual AW winner; yet to win over hurdles but went close at Ffos Las in May (2m4f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces); that run hasn't proved a springboard to anything better. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Fourth to Newport at Musselburgh (2m, soft; beaten 4l) last November; disappointing since, with no obvious uptick for wind surgery; handicap mark is in freefall and point win came over 3m, so there are some positives. |
14/1 |

10th 7 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Promising fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in December but suffered heavy defeats on final two starts last season, the latter over C&D, and needs subsequent wind op to have made a big difference. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close at Kelso (2m5f, good) last April but has not made a serious impact this season; now 8lb below the Kelso mark but 0-17 as a hurdler; a hood returns, after it was last fitted in 2023. |
4/1 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Went close at Kelso (2m5f) last spring; has regressive form this term, taking record over hurdles to 0-16, but gives the impression this belated drop back to about 2m is worth exploring. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
All three of his wins over fences have been gained here, including the last two editions of this race (soft and good ground); now 8lb lower after some lesser efforts but he went close off this mark here (about 3m1f; no headgear) last month and wasn't beaten far in cheekpieces behind Aill Dubh, Blazing Court and Path Of Stars over C&D two days later; headgear off again and he won't mind what the weather does; contender. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Safely held in both bumpers last season and struggled when a big-priced outsider for recent hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good). |
