24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Won twice here in 2025 (2m/2m5f; good/good to soft) but hasn't run up to form on his last three starts, last time over 2m6f; others stronger. |

Dual course winner (2m2f/2m5f) in the autumn; not in same form lately and untested over this far but back on a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

11st 1lb |
Runner-up in this last year and he won two in a row at Kelso (2m2f/2m5f, good/good to soft) in the autumn; patchy form since but when pulled up at Kelso last time he was contesting the very competitive Morebattle Hurdle; drying ground will aid his cause and it will be no surprise if he runs well. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Didn't seem to stay 2m7f when below-par at Hexham last time, having run creditably on his two previous starts; could go well but on a long losing run. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Only win came in a Southwell novice handicap in May 2024 (2m4f, good); good run when second at Sedgefield last time (2m4f, good); stamina to prove, but could be in the mix. |

It's now 11 outings since his last success but he's been lightly raced this term and comes here on the back of a good third of 15 in 2m4f Newcastle handicap hurdle 18 days ago; can make his presence felt off the same mark. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Exposed; fair fourth at Ayr in November (3m, soft) and may have needed the race after a break when well beaten at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good to soft). |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Fell on chase debut at Hexham (2m4f; 3-1) in October; failed to stay 3m (ran respectably) back over hurdles at Ayr the following month; off since but 8lb lower than when first introduced to handicapping 14 months ago; stablemate of Snow Dragon. |

Won four-runner handicap at Hexham last June (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); disappointing since; needs first-time blinkers to bring about significant improvement. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Captured this prize last year (fourth win at the track) and caught the eye when eighth of 12 in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 34 days ago, racing wide and set a lot to do; he's a player off a 2lb lower mark now. |

Ended a run of rather disappointing efforts when scoring at Hexham last month (2m4f, good) and better than he showed last time as his saddle slipped on home turn; interesting. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Took advantage of his reduced mark and some better ground to win off 3lb lower mark over 2m4f here last time (good); may fare even better up to this trip (3m Irish point winner). |

Out of form towards end of last year but returned from three-month break with pretty good fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (2m5f, good) 11 days ago, and it will be interesting to see whether this drop back in trip pays dividends. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Has done well both runs with cheekpieces, winning off a 9lb lower mark at Newcastle in January (2m1f, good to soft) before creditable third off this mark at Ayr last time (2m4f, soft); chance if as effective on this ground. |
6/1 |

3rd 9 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
The first-time cheekpieces appeared to make a huge difference at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) where he jumped well in front and won unchallenged by just over 5l; 9lb higher in a higher grade but he arrives here a relative unknown quantity, especially over this far. |

Just one win from her 19 hurdle starts but that came at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in February and she made a bad mistake when fourth at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) next time; she'll be fine now back up in trip and back on better ground, and could give a good account. |

Beaten 12l when fifth of nine at 11-1 on last month's handicap debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft); improvement is needed but today's forecast better ground could be a positive and she's not ruled out each-way. |

Ex-Irish; got off the mark over hurdles at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in December off 6lb lower; placed three times since, running up to his best when second of 11 finishers at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month; should be thereabouts. |

Point winner; showed a bit in novice hurdles in November 2024 but tailed off in a novice hurdle and pulled up in a handicap chase in two outings this season over four months apart; fitted with first-time cheekpieces back hurdling; plenty to prove at present. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |

Tailed off in a novice hurdle here in November when back from an absence and this is his first run since; however, he showed some ability in novice hurdles in November 2024 and this point winner could improve for the switch to fences; interesting contender on handicap debut. |
