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. |

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. |

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. |
12/1 |

8th 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Successful over 2m4f here nearly a year ago but has struggled to recapture that form since; shaped with a little more promise when fading into fourth over 2m5f at Kelso last month, but he'll need to build on that and this drop back to 2m may not play to his strengths. |
20/1 |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
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. |

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. |
3/1 |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home over C&D (good) last month and has now won three of his last four; probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 5lb rise but must be considered in current mood. |
4/1 |
|
1st 13 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Exposed multiple winner; he would have found the ground too soft when beaten by King Sacre at Hexham and then dug deep to win at Kelso (2m, good; 5lb lower); entitled to have some say. |

Winless since his 3yo debut and has regressed under both codes in recent times; opposable. |

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 |

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 |
|
4th 5 |
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 |
