Won off basement mark on the AW in September but was towards rear throughout when making handicap hurdle debut in plating company last month (2m1f); goes beyond 2m4f for first time here. |

Low-grade Flat winner last summer; respectable second to short-odds favourite on hurdle debut in the autumn but subsequent hurdle/Flat form has been disappointing; makes handicap hurdle debut today. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
1m6f course winner; not quite at his best here last time, having raced freely when second over C&D prior to that; a similar effort to that penultimate start would give him claims. |
9/2 |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has a good record here and was third in this last year; won here (1m6f, good to soft) this May and runner-up over today's C&D (soft) last time; seems versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made all to score by 13l over C&D (good) in April and has remained in good form since; current mark is workable; ought to give this a good shot. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to win by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has performed fairly well on all three outings since (2m-2m1f); worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to score by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has also performed well on both subsequent outings (once over C&D); refitted cheekpieces are the headgear of choice today; probably won't be far away. |

Dual 1m4f winner on Tapeta elsewhere; placed three times from six starts over this sort of trip on Tapeta and could make the frame from just 2lb above his last winning mark. |
12/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No AW win since January 2023 (Newcastle, 12.5f); managed to score at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last July but fortunes dipped markedly towards the end of the turf season; more than enough to prove after layoff. |
16/1 |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (12.4f, good) in July and respectable efforts in next two runs but his form nosedived at Hamilton last month; has something to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back; stablemate of Elemental Eye. |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Having her first run over 1m4f when winning from out of the blue at Newcastle in April; failed to match that form when failing to settle back over 1m2f there in May, which spells danger over this new trip. |

5th May 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Out of a middle-distance winner for Mark Johnston and popped up from nowhere over 1m4f here last month; had a bit in hand for Amie Waugh that day, so has fair claims again off a 5lb higher mark. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time hurdle winner on good ground (once over C&D) but not since 2021; not seen since down-the-field finish in basement-grade AW race in January and makes very limited appeal from 4lb out of the weights here. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last five wins have come over C&D, the latest in November; recent efforts no more than respectable, though, and remains 4lb above that last successful mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last five wins have come at Newcastle, but he hasn't been at his best there in last three starts; went close off this mark in November but he needs to get back near that level; all AW wins have been at 1m2f but he has won over this trip on turf. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (8) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Bagged a fifth C&D victory in November and in good nick subsequently, not seen to ideal effect when fourth of 11 back over C&D 25 days ago; a likely player eased 1lb. |
