24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Both hurdle wins at Kelso, over 2m6f (good) and 2m (good to soft) but his C&D second on New Year's Day was right up there with his best efforts, pulling clear with subsequent Pertemps close seventh; 5lb higher today but is more likely than not to go well. |

19th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice last year and a clear runner-up over C&D (soft) on New Year's Day, behind one who has followed up; again second at Kelso (2m6f, good) on Friday and he's a contender if this doesn't come too soon. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
10yo who wasn't at his best last year but all six of his wins have come here and his third of six over C&D (good to soft) in November was a step back in the right direction; another 2lb lower today; in calculations. |

20th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently twice over C&D in 2025 but he has struggled to reproduce that form; down the weights and latest 2l third over C&D on his return from a break was more encouraging, so he could figure if backing that up. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 10 |
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. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 |
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. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All seven wins over hurdles between 2m-2m1f, including one at this track (good) in May; followed up at Perth (2m, good) the following month and maintained his form when runner-up at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in July; produced one of his lesser efforts when fifth of six at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) last month but looks worth another chance here. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has progressed well with blinkers since his latest C&D win in April (good), scoring at Kelso and Perth (both over 2m on good) and finishing good second off a pound lower than today at Cartmel last month; chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here. |

15th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |

Winless since his 3yo debut and has regressed under both codes in recent times; won't mind the softer ground, down another 3lb and going without the usual headgear by way of a change. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (1) |
5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Debut AW winner (1m) who is on a 29-race losing run; last of seven when stepped up to 1m5f at Ayr latest; has finished runner-up over C&D (soft) previously; given a chance by the handicapper now, so not written off. |

Beaten a long way over C&D in the spring before a better showing from the front in a 3m2f hurdle round Fontwell; is some way down the pecking order for a yard also responsible for Nadim. |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-18 over hurdles but has largely been consistent since the spring; made most of the running when third behind Prince Nino over C&D this month and has the same mark today; probably won't be far away. |

11th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner over 1m in France; yet to win over hurdles although has been running well enough in handicaps over 2m4f/3m here this summer to suggest he has a chance. |

16th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Two novice wins last spring but has proved disappointing in handicaps; better signs in two most recent starts, the latest at Southwell, and can be considered if cheekpieces have a beneficial effect. |
9/4 |

28th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Won two novice hurdles towards end of last season but has become rather disappointing in handicaps this term; took step back in right direction on latest outing but still has something to prove. |

25lb below his latest/highest winning mark of July 2020 but surprising if nothing proves sharper at the trip once more. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |

12yo who is not the force of old and has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to July 2020; however, there have been some fair runs this season and he's been given a chance by the handicapper; each-way possible. |
12/1 |

midfield, outpaced and pushed along 3 out, kept on and went fourth run-in, not pace to challenge |
