14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won four consecutive chases last February/March and added another two wins towards the end of last year; latest 5lb rise demands even more from him but he's versatile regarding ground and may still be improving. |

Smart performer in Britain back in the day; went point-to-pointing over the winter and held in hunter chases lately; unlikely. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Very useful hurdler/chaser in Britain in his prime; couldn't contain Lifetime Ambition in a point back in November; fair third to Journey With Me at Cork last month but he went from the front and was readily left behind. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Very useful hurdler/chaser in Britain in his prime; no appeal on his points form, which has been poor since a 12l second behind good yardstick Lifetime Ambition at Turtulla in November. |

Acts on heavy; 4-6 at Hexham, including a win in this race three years ago; out of sorts for new yard this term but first-time blinkers may prompt a revival off reduced mark. |

1st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
33-1 into 18-1, flattered slightly by near-1l margin behind an idling Barton Snow in this race last year (good), but that was still a mighty run after 418 days out; absent again since, but his comparatively moderate RPRs around sharpish tracks probably concerns more. |

2nd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair chaser/hurdler for Harry Whittington but six defeats in points include a remote third behind A Jet Of Our Own; blinkers replace cheekpieces after a lengthy absence; probably up against it. |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who was a course winner over hurdles in February 2021 (2m, soft); last month's chasing debut came after a 534-day absence and he is entitled to have needed the run but he was well beaten and his current ability is not easy to gauge. |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner who ran well in two handicap chases here in 2024; however, this 10yo has been absent since being pulled up at Newbury that November and faces a very tough assignment on his return. |

30th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
0-8 over rules fences but knocking at the door for a while, finishing a highly creditable third at the Scottish National meeting at Ayr (3m, soft) in April and reappearing with a good second there (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; effective here and there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

4th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Ended last year with below-par C&D run (bled from the nose) and was beaten when falling over 2m4f here on New Year's Day; needs to get back in the groove but has very good chasing strike-rate (7-25) and his current mark is workable. |

6th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won two chases last season but hasn't really fired this term (four runs); comes here after finishing last of four in refitted cheekpieces at Newcastle last month; visor refitted today; needs to up his game. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |

11yo who has been tailed off/pulled up on both starts this season and has plenty to prove; however, this C&D winner has dropped to a dangerous mark and shouldn't be written off. |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |

Front-runner who has done all his winning over 2m4f+; ended last season with a disappointing run and capitulated very tamely when back in action last month; comes here with quite a bit to prove. |
