9th Apr 2023 Heavy 3m 3f 208y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; jumped well and had plenty of use made of him when stepped up to 3m4f at Haydock (soft; acts on heavy) 18 days ago, holding on by half a length with the first two well clear; raised 5lb but a serious player if he's in the same form. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't really threatened on his two starts this season (3m, soft/heavy) but those were still fair performances and it's possible this lightly raced 8yo will be suited by the step up in trip; not ruled out. |

10th Jan 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who only conceded defeat in the closing stages when running well for a long way at Carlisle (3m, soft); does go well fresh so not guaranteed to find loads on that form, but entitled to be in the thick of it. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
9yo who has won just one of his 17 chases but he's finished second in nine of them, including at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) in March; also effective on good ground and he won here over hurdles; not ruled out on return. |

24th Feb 2024 Heavy 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
The new visor (kept since, replacing cheekpieces) worked a treat when he won at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) over Christmas for the second year running; he hasn't sparked that often in the last two years, though, showing little on latest outing; beaten just over 20l when sixth and fifth in the last two Eiders, so others look more solid. |

24th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
The new visor worked a treat when winning a 3m2f handicap at Kelso (heavy) over Christmas for the second year running; 4lb rise won't prevent another bold show if he's as good again (not guaranteed). |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 5f 214y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Prominent-racer who went very close in the Durham National at Sedgefield (3m5f, soft) on reappearance and again ran well when third at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last month; stamina is a strong suit and he's respected. |
4/1 |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

Stays further but that may be no bad thing in the conditions and he reappeared with a near-miss in the Durham National (3m5f, soft) in October; ran well in the Eider here in February and he's firmly in calculations. |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Formerly smart chaser who came back from the doldrums with a Perth hurdles win (3m2f, good to soft) in April; pulled up in the other five of his last six starts, including on his reappearance at Bangor last month; hard to be confident but a possible player if he is allowed to dominate. |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Without a win since January 2021 and he hasn't really been threatening this winter, especially so at Doncaster most recently when the first beaten (3m, soft); wouldn't be the percentage call. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Pulled up in the Eider last month and unseated at the first fence at Carlisle on Sunday; however, before those he won at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January and is proven over marathon trips; not written off. |
10/1 |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Didn't jump well enough when pulled up in the 4m1f Eider, a race he won two seasons ago; will be happier on this softer ground and he won well at Catterick the run before (3m1f, soft; 4lb lower) in second-time cheekpieces. |

25th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won this in 2021 off 14lb higher; wind surgery before a partial revival this winter and he followed his third to Bushypark at Catterick last month with a strong-staying win over 3m there 13 days later; visored for those last two starts; back up 5lb but of far more concern is that all his significant form is on soft or heavy; big shout if the ground is okay. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Veteran chaser who isn't the easiest to predict nowadays and has twice been pulled up since scoring at Kelso (2m6f) in January; he reverts to hurdles with something to prove. |
14/1 |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made all to cause 20-1 surprise at Kelso (2m5f, heavy) in January but performed poorly on other four of five starts since returning from long layoff this season, and it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task. |
14/1 |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Made all at Kelso (2m5f, heavy) in January and it's possible this trip will be within range; however, the Kelso win has been the only bright run among his four outings this season and he was tailed off last time. |

Dug deep to win off much-reduced mark at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) in December and remains well handicapped on older form but he never really got involved here (2m7f) last month and has become unreliable. |

23rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Off 444 days before this season, during which he's been well below form but still managed a third at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January; latest start was a rare foray over fences; accelerating down the weights and first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces. |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Only had three chase runs and he's off the same mark for the 3m2f win at Doncaster just over two years ago; has to recapture that level of form but he's been running over hurdles this season. |
