22nd Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won off this mark over hurdles at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in May and he seems versatile ground-wise; however, this 11yo hasn't been at his best more recently and needs to produce a bigger run on this belated chase debut. |

11st 11lb |
Appeared to have a bit left in the tank when scoring off 3lb lower over C&D (good to soft) in May but not much has gone to plan since and pulled up after racing too freely at Hexham on Wednesday; comes with risk. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Running well in the main this season, winning at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in December and good third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in January last time; this two-time course winner was runner-up in this race two years ago and could again have a part to play. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Runner-up to progressive winner at Kelso (2m1f, soft) last month then went one better at Wetherby (1m7f, soft; by 3l); he remains 3lb lower than when third in this last year (good to soft) and could be firmly involved. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Behind a couple of these when seventh in last season's Grand Annual here but this dual chase winner has the benefit of a positive recent run at Kelso on good ground that would have been lively enough for him; should run well. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Patchy form last August-October and this is her first run since; however, she may be better around this time of the year than she is in the autumn and she won after a similar absence last June; not ruled out. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
All three wins at Market Rasen; beaten 5l into fifth at Sedgefield two weeks ago and probably needs more here. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
A dual 2m scorer at Market Rasen in June but she was well below par when sixth of ten in 2m2f Kelso handicap three weeks ago; she needs to get back on track. |

Won twice over C&D not all that long ago but can lose his form, as has happened since on the Flat and over hurdles; bit risky. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has improved with every start over hurdles and best effort at Ayr last time; however, he'll almost certainly have to improve again if he's to get off the mark this time. |

11st 3lb |
Improved to make winning handicap debut here (2m5f, good to soft) in November 2022 but was not seen again until two disappointing runs this winter (2m4f/2m6f); still has low mileage but needs to get career back on track. |
