1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Goes well here as both a C&D winner and also a winner over 2m4f last time out; 3lb rise and the return to shorter will be a test for him but he's shown before that he can string a series of wins together. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
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. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Captured this prize last year (fourth win at the track) and caught the eye when eighth of 12 in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 34 days ago, racing wide and set a lot to do; he's a player off a 2lb lower mark now. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won C&D maiden on heavy ground in March and runner-up over C&D on both subsequent appearances (heavy/good to soft); today's faster ground may not be ideal but her handicap mark is workable and, if her useful bumper form is a guide, she may yet do better over hurdles. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles over C&D (heavy) a fortnight ago, which was her second start back from another absence; has the potential to be better than this opening mark in view of her useful bumper form. |

30th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual C&D winner last season (soft/good to soft), and was placed off 10lb higher on the outer track here (2m1f, soft) in November; impossible to rule out but has become unreliable and was safely held here twice last month. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
On a long losing run (last win was at Ayr in July 2024) but he has run a few creditable races this year; has a bit to find with Royal Blaze on their C&D form last month. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 14 months ago and he struggled here last time; on dangerous mark but he's been hard to predict this season and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

10th 3 (1) |

Not disgraced when third of eight to Jewel Maker in 1m Carlisle handicap a week ago; this C&D winner is one for the shortlist. |
