Won over hurdles here (2m4f, soft) in January but was pulled up in three consecutive runs this spring and he struggled again when returned to the Flat at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) last month; lots to prove. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

5th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 170y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Currently well treated having gained all handicap wins (2m5f/3m1f) off higher marks; ran respectably over hurdles here (2m4f) last month and has a fighting chance on this return to chasing. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 |
3rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Started off for Nick Alexander with two disappointing runs last winter (hurdle/chase) but travelled well for a long way when back in action here (3m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in November and has possibilities if that run has brought him on. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Returned from long absence with two heavy defeats for new stable this summer but last month's fourth at Cartmel (2m5f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) was more encouraging; she needs to build on that performance here but has the services of Brian Hughes again. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Point winner who won twice over hurdles (2m4f/1m7f) last season but she's struggled in her last five starts including pulled-up efforts in her last two handicaps; dropped another 4lb but she needs to turn things around on this switch to chasing; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

10th Jan 2023 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Winner of 2m4f maiden and 1m7f novice hurdles last winter but her handicap form this winter has not been up to scratch; big turnaround needed for first-time cheekpieces. |

3rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won twice over hurdles last season (2m4f/1m7f) and is still lightly raced, but looked out of sorts on both appearances towards end of last year and needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces here. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Better at this trip than the 2m4f over which he was third here ten days ago, but even when on a good day he's become extremely hard to win with (1-24 as a chaser and 2-39 overall); the clear plus is that he won this last year off 5lb higher. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Not a frequent winner but both his wins (from 37 jump starts) have been over 2m here; stays 2m4f and, after a fair third here last time (2m), is not without a chance |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Has modest strike-rate (2-41 under all codes) and was behind Newtown Rambler and Hypotenus when fourth of seven over C&D good to soft) last month but is now 1lb lower than for last summer's convincing C&D (good) win, and can't be ruled out. |
