2nd 1 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
11yo who snapped a losing sequence at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and it was a stronger race than this in which he was fourth of 11 at Haydock (2m4f, good) last Wednesday; every chance he'll be in the mix. |

4th 1 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who made his name as a two-miler and the slow pace helped when making his first foray over 3m a successful one at Carlisle (good to soft; effective on good); solid second the run before over 2m4f but a 5lb rise for last time could be troublesome. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
His good progress since coming back in June includes a commanding win at Newton Abbot (about 2m, good to firm) last Thursday; 6lb rise leaves him on a career-high mark but he's been on the up for over a year now and there's no reason to think his climb up the ladder has halted. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 3-11 over fences and two of those wins were gained over C&D (good/good to soft); held in small-field events in last four starts but he was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last time and he could be dangerous back at this track; stablemate of Gore Point. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Running well in the main this season, winning at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in December and good third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in January last time; this two-time course winner was runner-up in this race two years ago and could again have a part to play. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Runner-up to progressive winner at Kelso (2m1f, soft) last month then went one better at Wetherby (1m7f, soft; by 3l); he remains 3lb lower than when third in this last year (good to soft) and could be firmly involved. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win easily in a small field at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month and he's also effective on good/good to soft ground; his yard has done very well over these fences but from out of the handicap he's running off a mark 12lb higher than last time, and needs a career best. |
20/1 |

1st 5 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Yet to win this season but put two below-par runs behind him when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; also suited by soft) a fortnight ago and remains on a good mark; one to consider. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Another ex-Gavin Cromwell inmate who secured narrow win over fences at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in June; 0-5 for this yard but February's close second of five at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on penultimate start was a creditable effort; stable in fine form. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded a three-timer over hurdles in May but has been turned over at short odds in first two runs over fences since; did little wrong on either occasion and remains a young chaser with potential; should be hard to beat. |
10/11 |
|
2nd 3 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Showed the benefit of wind surgery when winning three hurdle races on the bounce in May and very nearly defied a 4lb lower mark than this at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July on chase debut; latest race was voided well before the finish; strong claims. |
