23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Three listless performances since returning from 13 months out; 12lb below his last winning mark now, but no good thing to capitalise. |

Won twice in November 2024 (2m7f/3m, good/good to soft) but mainly disappointing since including on both runs since a 404-day break; plenty to prove at present. |

Stays 3m and acts on the forecast sound surface; 50-1, always behind and pulled up on his return from 13 months off the track at Wetherby on latest start; bit to prove. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Front-running chaser who can go clear in his races but he's not won since December 2023 and was pulled up in his last two runs over fences; on dangerous mark back in this sphere but he needs a major revival after six months off. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Regressive 10yo who has not won since April 2023; has conditions to suit here and some of his spring/summer form puts him on the premises but he was pulled up last time (bled) and others have more appealing profiles. |

Veteran is winless since 2023 but he wasn't disgraced when third of six in 2m1f handicap chase at Cartmel 25 days ago; he's no forlorn hope. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up three times in a row in February-April, including in a quite valuable series final at Carlisle (2m4f, good) and when losing out only narrowly to Half Shot at Kelso (2m7f, good); subsequent 22l defeat over C&D came in a stronger race than this; one to consider. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
After dropping down the weights he's run really well to finish second on his last three starts (2m4f/2m7f, good/good to soft); edging back up the handicap but every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair handicapper when trained by Lucinda Russell and 2-6 in points for current stable, the latter win gained in three-runner mixed open at Edgcote (3m, good) last month; probably has a big role to play in this. |

Won a similar event at Catterick in good style in March (3m1f, good) but pulled up at Hexham last time; needs to bounce back. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Quite useful in his prime and he won a point in February (3m, good to soft) before easily following up in a hunter chase at Catterick last month (3m1f, good; Lunar Contact second); strong claims. |

16th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won Irish point; found 3m on heavy too much for him on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell and he hasn't made a strong transition to fences since but novice hurdle form at about 2m4f offers hope; new aids fitted. |
8/1 |

4th 4 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish maiden point winner (2023) who was second over about 2m4f last season in two of his three novice hurdles; flopped on handicap hurdle debut last April (3m1f, heavy) and his jumping was not up to scratch when favourite again on chase debut in November; back down in trip and early days. |

11st 12lb |
Below par since the summer of 2024, although he has made the frame on several occasions; not entirely disgraced when third at Perth (2m4f, good) in September; likely to be thereabouts again but others appeal more for the win. |
