4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Below best over C&D (good to firm) last month but could improve for that first outing in two months; he's a three-time winner at Kelso, the latest over C&D (good) in May; no surprise if he plays a leading role. |
6/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |

Pulled up/well beaten at Cartmel on his two starts this summer but he won over this C&D (good) in May to further enhance his good record at Kelso; he's just 1lb above that last winning mark and could go well. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Infrequent winner (1-23) but has finished in the frame in three of his last four starts, going down by a short-head to the determined Heart Above at Kelso (2m5f, good) 19 days ago; bit more needed from this 2lb higher mark. |

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 |

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. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
7yo who remains a maiden after 13 starts but he was twice a good third under Gregor Walkingshaw over C&D (good) in May, and he can be right in the picture if resuming where he left off. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Gained four of his five hurdle wins here (two over 2m4f); seemingly on the downgrade now but didn't run badly when fifth at Perth (3m, good) in early July and ought to be better suited by this shorter trip; returns from a break on a tempting mark; dangerous to ignore. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Continues to slide in the weights, now 10lb below his last winning mark (2m4f, Hexham); Kelso fourth (2m5f; in first-time blinkers) was okay but his latest Hexham effort (2m) was a poor one; plenty to prove, particularly over 3m. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
3-7 here versus 0-11 anywhere else, and the form of June's C&D success (good) proved rock solid with the second, third and sixth all obliging next time; absence since is a concern, given a weak record fresh and no wins after breaks in excess of 30 days. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but won gamely off 5lb lower here (2m4f, good) in April and his recent C&D second was also a good effort; could have a say. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Game winner here (2m4f; from 2lb lower) in April; excuse next time (saddle slipped) but less competitive at Kelso (2m5f, good; fifth, beaten 10l) a fortnight ago; needs to bounce back against rivals with a fair amount of upside. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Regressive 10yo who has poor completion rate over fences since returning from layoff in November; stopped the rot with fairly respectable hurdle run last month but needs to build on that performance here; swaps visor for refitted cheekpieces. |

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

Has won three times over hurdles and three times over fences, but was disappointing back over hurdles with a visor (retained) instead of cheekpieces at Hexham last time (2m7f, good; 40-1). |

11st 12lb |
Inconsistent mare who has a modest 2-29 strike-rate and was well beaten at Perth four weeks ago following a 54-day break, but she was a good second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July and is not written off. |
9/1 |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Just 2-27 over hurdles, with the latter win gained in 2024, but posted good effort when second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; cheekpieces removed) in July and is also suited by this track; a possible. |
4/1 |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Placed twice in spring 2025 (2m4f/2m5f) but generally disappointing since; moves back up in trip after a quiet 2m run last month; cheekpieces (worn for last four races) are removed; others have much less to prove. |

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 |

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. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Dual hurdle winner who broke his Flat duck when dropped down to a Class 6 at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) off 2lb lower last month; moderate at a higher level in two subsequent starts but his sole AW effort was a solid one when fourth of 14 at Dundalk (Polytrack) in the spring of 2024; possibilities if he copes with this return to 1m4f. |

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. |

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. |
