6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newcastle in October (2m4f, good) but had been pulled up on previous start and was pulled up on only start since (good to soft); this ground should suit better but he's not easy to work out. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won three times over fences for Matt Sheppard; yet to score for present yard, but two fair runs when in the frame at Sedgefield in September (2m/2m3f, good); never travelling when pulled up on same track last time (3m5f); a possible. |

3rd 3 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has a decent record here (231413) but usually needs a run under his belt to hit form after a break; this will be his first run of the year but his course record means he cannot be ignored. |
9/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Career best when winning at Hexham (1m7f) in May, his third success over fences, all at about 2m; didn't match that despite finishing second next time but it was a solid return, back from a small break, when keeping on for fourth of seven at Market Rasen (2m1f, also good) 19 days ago; has weakened over this trip and beyond before but it looks worth exploring again. |
7/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
C&D winner who produced a career best at Hexham (1m7f, good) in May when landing his third chase win but well-held when second of five finishers at Perth (2m, good) in June; consistent sort who may have benefitted from the short break and is not out of this. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times over hurdles last year (2m3f-2m7f) but it isn't happening over fences, pulled up all three starts this term; now comes back in trip with blinkers replacing cheekpieces; handicapped to be competitive but impossible to recommend without market support at present. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times over hurdles last year (2m3f-2m7f) but has badly lost her way since; pulled up in both chases this season (cheekpieces added last time); big leap of faith needed to support her. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner whose two wins last year came at Sedgefield when making all; his suspect stamina gave out in a match at Hereford (2m5f, good) 18 days ago but this track back down in trip should play to his strengths; regular hood returns after being omitted last time. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 2 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner; won twice at Sedgefield last year (good to firm/good; up to extended 2m3f) and returned from a break to finish third of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in March, not beaten far; could be tough to reel in. |
11/10 |

3rd 2 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won on heavy and soft in France but kept to good or quicker in Britain; front-runner who has a good record at Sedgefield, winning twice there in 2025 (2m and 2m3f); still 5lb higher than the latest of them in October but he can go well fresh so not ruled out back from a break. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Incredibly consistent on his last four starts, three seconds and a win (all on good between 2m3f and 2m5f) returning an RPR of 100 each time; had course form over hurdles for previous connections and he's a player once again from an unchanged mark. |
6/4 |

2nd 9 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
In good form over C&D this summer since the visor returned, just denied on his June reappearance then going one better 20 days later, and matched those efforts when down in trip and runner-up at Stratford (2m3f) last month off this mark; likely to run well again. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; however, he's won twice this season (2m4f/2m5f, soft), the latest two starts ago; won on good ground last term and there can be hope that he's still okay at this sort of trip; in the mix if swiftly bouncing back. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Consistent 7yo and the horse he beat at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft; won on good) arrived there at the top of his game; may appreciate further these days but enters the equation; raised only 3lb. |
13/2 |

1st 2 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-Greenall/Guerriero; 2m4f winner at Ayr in November (soft) and two fair runs since; back on a decent mark; could go well. |
