10th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not particularly consistent but has a chance on his best form; successful at Carlisle in March (2m3f, good to soft) when wearing a visor for the first time, but well beaten off this 7lb higher mark with same headgear when favourite at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good). |

Bounced back quickly from last month's poor performance and took form to whole new level at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft; first-time visor) three weeks ago, keeping on strongly to win readily by 6l; went up 7lb for that but must be considered in current mood. |

Safely held in first two handicaps but took step forward and ran well for a long way when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; another 3lb lower here and enters calculations. |

Didn't seem to stay 2m7f when below-par at Hexham last time, having run creditably on his two previous starts; could go well but on a long losing run. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Only win came in a Southwell novice handicap in May 2024 (2m4f, good); good run when second at Sedgefield last time (2m4f, good); stamina to prove, but could be in the mix. |

It's now 11 outings since his last success but he's been lightly raced this term and comes here on the back of a good third of 15 in 2m4f Newcastle handicap hurdle 18 days ago; can make his presence felt off the same mark. |

His defeat of Double Oban at Wetherby on Boxing Day now reads really well and he's since finished right on the scene in two visits here; remains on a good mark and has a lot less to prove than many of these; trip/ground ideal. |

Only 9-1 at Newcastle and, although well beaten, his trainer reported that he didn't enjoy the heavy ground; could do better. |

Remote sixth in Doncaster bumper last month when making debut; however, pedigree suggests this scenario is likely to suit him better; improvement possible. |

17th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |

18,000gns yearling; Territories gelding who is closely related to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Elronaq (RPR 102) and a half-brother to three other winners, notably fairly useful Vindolanda (1m4f-1m6f); dam 6f Listed winner; appeals on paper so is one to consider, especially if the market vibes are positive. |
12/1 |
Verdict
Having gone into most notebooks when going down all guns blazing on debut at Haydock in December, CONISTON GEORGE sets the clear form benchmark in a winnable bumper. Of the others, Easter Junction looks the most obvious threat, although any market support for Lunar Chief could be worth heeding given that his dam (Oleohneh) was herself a debut Newcastle bumper winner back in 2014.
