2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over C&D on good ground last season, including in this race, his mark going up 14lb as a result; won over 1m7f off his new mark here last time; up another 4lb but should again be competitive. |

10st 10lb |
Won three in a row over 3m here last spring (good/good to soft); returned from an absence with encouraging sixth over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) recently; however, he may well find today's trip inadequate. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In excellent form over fences last spring, winning three times at Hexham (3m, good/good to soft); can cope with drop back in trip for this first hurdling start since 2022 but has fitness to prove after 294-day layoff. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins over fences, one over C&D, in March 2025 (good/good to soft); ran one of his best races since when second at Hexham (1m7f, good) last time and should go well again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Mixed form this term but when soundly beaten at Carlisle last time he was in a competitive series final; now just 2lb higher than when readily completing a double at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) last March so can go well if back on song; tongue-tie added to cheekpieces adopted last time. |
12/1 |

7th 7 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |

This month last year he won successive handicap chase at 2m4f (good) and 2m1f (good to soft); hasn't recaptured that form (beaten 12l when second two runs ago) but cheekpieces are now given a go. |

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 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

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. |

Front-runner who was beaten 9l when last of the three finishers at Ayr (2m, soft) in January; however, he's been dropped a handy 3lb since and is capable of better judged on last season's evidence; not written off. |

Lightly raced since winning two novice hurdles for Gordon Elliott in autumn 2022; however, he's hard to fancy on what he's shown subsequently. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A fairly useful 2m-winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott in 2022 but very lightly raced subsequently and has offered little for his current yard, pulled up over C&D 11 months ago; hard to warm to. |

12st 0lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last February and went close in a novice hurdle here (2m, good) next time; makes chase/handicap debut following a year off but with his trainer in phenomenal form; could have a big part to play, especially if strong in the betting. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made all to win a 2m novice hurdle here last April and follow-up effort when runner-up in a handicap at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) was promising; however, both hurdling efforts since haven't been so good and he was a mid-race faller on last month's chase debut; should stay this far and he's on a competitive mark if recapturing initial promise. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won the novice hurdle (2m, good) on this card 12 months ago; he needs to improve upon what he produced in two handicap hurdles in February but the return to Hexham could help and he might be suited by the switch to fences. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
There was no return to form on his two starts this winter; arrives with plenty to prove but he's down to a dangerous mark and, if he is to stage a revival, it's likely to be here where he's posted both victories. |
25/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |

Down to a dangerous mark and could get back on track at some point but he's been underwhelming since winning on last season's reappearance (2m4f, soft), finishing down the field at Newcastle last month after a break. |

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. |

Won at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) last November on second chase start and some good runs since, most recently 12l third of 12 in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); this is less competitive; high on the list. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won the 2m1f handicap chase on this card last year and went in again at Newcastle in November (good to soft); subsequent defeats hint at a vulnerability off this higher mark and he was behind Tanking Along last time. |

3rd 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Built upon promising seasonal/chase debut when scoring at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in November and again ran well when close fourth of six at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January; drops back in trip here; might still have more to offer over fences. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Poor form in bumpers and over hurdles, and his jumping wasn't great when third on recent chase debut at Sedgefield (2m, good); from out of the handicap he's 4lb higher than last time but there was some promise in that performance and he's open to further improvement if finding greater fluency. |

3rd 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |

Only poor form shown in his five runs over hurdles, tried in a hood when pulled up at Newcastle (2m4f) 18 days ago; goes chasing with tongue tie added and lots to prove. |
25/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-6; nothing worthwhile to report; left in remote fourth (beaten 32l) over 2m1f here (33-1) three weeks ago; could strip fitter on second run since wind surgery but the added hood will need to prove transformational. |
