Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham and nearly won again at Kelso ten days ago when headed on the run-in; same mark. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham last year, latest in August; close third over same C&D last time and worth considering. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in all five chases, the first two over C&D in May (good to soft/good); bumped into an improver when clear second at Perth (3m, good) in August and will be a tough nut to crack here if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Bang there in all four races since switched to fences and he was running on last time at Cartmel (2m5f); this trip is well worth exploring. |
4/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up in all three chases, most recently when going close over C&D (soft; also suited by good) last month; continues to creep up the weights but seems very likely to be on the premises again. |

Still a maiden and he underwent wind surgery before pulled up in 3m2f Sedgefield handicap chase in January; not one to rely on. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-24 under all codes; gave fairly good account of himself when fourth over C&D (soft; beaten about 16l) last month but is effectively 4lb higher from further out of the weights today and needs subsequent wind operation to have made a difference. |
33/1 |

0-19; three good runs over fences at Hexham this season, last time finishing fourth over 3m; may find a couple too good. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Gave pretty good account before fading into fifth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) on Tuesday but he's 0-11 over hurdles now and has to compete from just out of the weights. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
13-race maiden; mainly fair efforts since returning from a break on last five starts; on a career-low mark; not without a chance; |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
13-race maiden; ran better than eventual 36l defeat suggests when today's headgear combination was used at Hexham (2m4f, good) last Tuesday but is effectively 5lb higher from out of the weights here. |

12-race maiden; beaten a combined total of 157l over hurdles in last three starts and fell at the first on her last attempt over fences; new headgear combination is tried; other runners are far more appealing. |

10st 9lb |
0-19 under rules but returned from a break with a clear second over C&D (good to soft) in November and made the frame on all three subsequent appearances; returns from another break today; can make her presence felt. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |

9yo who is 0-18 under rules but running well this season, finishing third at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last time; might not be far away. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Corbridge point winner (2m4f) for Brian Harding; essentially disappointing since switched to racing under rules and has lacked for fluency in two attempts over fences; competes from an easing mark in a weak race. |
