23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Justified favouritism over 2m5f on this card last year (good to soft), and added a Catterick stayers' event in the winter, both off 4lb lower; all wins on good to soft and soft but last month's Sedgefield second on good was the equal of his peak soft-ground form; chance. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Point, bumper and dual chase winner at up to 3m1f, all on slow ground; below par at Kelso latest (2m5f, good to soft); on a competitive mark if bouncing back but will need to produce better than he has previously done on good going. |

10st 2lb |
Progressive in cheekpieces this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and posting a good second at Sedgefield (3m2f, soft) last time; it's possible the first-time blinkers will prompt a positive reaction today but he's up in grade and a career best is necessary. |

Extremely hard to win with and modest runs outweigh the good ones these days. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Good third at Market Rasen two runs back (2m1f, good to soft); hard to win with, but an each-way chance; new combination of headgear tried. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Didn't fire in 3m1f race won by Judicial Review here last month and is not one to rely upon but ran big race when third to Defence Witness over C&D (good to soft) in May and has obvious claims if judged on that form. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three wins over fences and ran well when beaten just over a length into third of seven behind Defence Witness here (2m5f, good to soft) last time; 2lb better off and has won off 1lb higher, but has been pulled up in all three previous attempts beyond 2m5f; stable also runs Unwanted Attention. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Kept on well to collar an idling Beat The Edge and score at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in February but it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution, and he managed only fifth when back at Sedgefied (2m5f, good) the following month. |

11st 0lb |
Both wins over fences, the most recent at Ayr (3m, soft; 14-1) in November; pulled up twice since, with no obvious explanation; reverts to hurdles for the first time since November 2022 seeking a much needed revival. |

Lightly raced since chase win at Kelso (2m5f, good) in spring 2023; little promise in two outings in May; enough to prove. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Posted some good efforts when cheekpieces were added towards the end of last season, perhaps most notably when second at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, and his run at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better than eventual 33l defeat suggests; one to consider. |

0-16 under rules but posted some pretty good efforts in cheekpieces towards end of last season, most recently when second from out of the weights at Kelso (2m4f, good) one month ago; can make his presence felt off correct mark here. |

11st 13lb |
11yo who is without a win since 2022 and has fallen on two of his last three starts, but it was a stumble rather than a bad jump that was to blame last month; he was going well in front at that stage (six out) and with a clear round it will be no surprise if he can exploit a handy mark. |

Without a win since 2022 but was in process of running well before penultimate-fence fall at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) two starts ago and had excuse when tailed off there last month (suffered overreach); blinkers tried today. |

Produced good performance to win by 6l at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March but has not been in the same form again since, and he failed to convince stamina-wise on his three previous attempts at about 2m4f. |
