13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Five-time point winner and won a hunter chase just over two years ago; kept on well for a close third over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time and this is probably more his trip. |

11st 5lb |
Pulled up on consecutive outings at start of this year but looked in much better nick when second at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; should benefit from today's drop back in trip; must be considered. |

12st 2lb |
14yo; won this by a short head last year and went close at Hexham (3m, heavy) in April after some time off; faced tough task when well-beaten third of four at Kelso (2m7f, good) last Wednesday and he's a leading contender in this easier race. |

28th May 2023 Good To Firm 3m 2f 39y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Added to his good tally in points with two wins this spring; close third to Shanroe Street at Perth, albeit beaten favourite, on the return to rules and now gets a 5lb pull with that rival; comfortably won this contest (on fast ground) 12 months ago and warrants respect back here. |

Won at Kelso last May; third in 3m Musselburgh hunter chase in March and has scored twice since in points, so looks the one to beat here. |

28th May 2023 Good To Firm 3m 2f 39y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Had a good spell in points in the early part of 2022; however, his point/rules form this year is far from compelling and perhaps age is catching up with this 12yo; the weakest contender on recent evidence. |
20/1 |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Useful in his prime and he won four points in the first third of last year, but this 12yo has struggled this year and others are preferred. |
33/1 |

1st Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 170y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Promising chaser in 2018 and he won four point-to-points in the first third of last year; however, he's failed to shine in points the last twice and has something to prove now back under rules. |
14/1 |
