15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Triple chase winner (all at Sedgefield); has had a couple of spins over hurdles and steps back up in trip on return to this sphere but stamina unproven. |

Won three chases (all at Sedgefield) when trained by Chris Grant and bettered underwhelming stable debut when placed on hurdle return at Worcester (2m4f, good; cheekpieces refitted) last month; shortlisted. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Pulled up two runs ago but solid efforts in defeat on either side of that and he's an assured stayer at this trip; the blinkers are new, as were the cheekpieces when third at Kelso last month. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Strong stayer who was 6lb out of the weights when runner-up in the Scottish Borders National here in December; off the same mark for this but has to bounce back from a pretty poor run at Bangor; cheekpieces added. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hereford maiden hurdle winner (April 2022); competing unsuccessfully in point-to-points since finishing a distant third at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) last November; others preferred. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 |
16th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdles winner who has finished runner-up in three of his five completed starts over fences, including when beaten a neck at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago (clear of the third); 4lb rise not the end of the world, though he still has to prove himself on soft ground or worse. |

Point winner but he's 0-37 under rules and has form figures of PP47P over regulation fences; 3lb out of the weights here and can only be watched. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
His sole success came back in 2021 but he showed more than of late when fifth of 11 in 2m6f Stratford handicap chase three weeks ago; more is required from 5lb out of the handicap however. |

Pulled up on final two starts for Philip Kirby and also failed to complete both races for new stable this spring; 2lb out of the weights here and it takes a big leap of faith to support him. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won over C&D off this mark in March last year (good to soft); plenty of decent efforts since, including when third at Kelso last time (2m5f, good); each-way chance. |

3rd 10 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
A case can be made on form as recent as November but she failed to shine on her two starts in February and needs to raise her game. |
12/1 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won two 2m4f chases last season (good/good to soft) and gave good account when clear second over C&D (good to soft) in the autumn; recent defeat from out of the weights can be overlooked and she won't mind if the ground remains soft; good chance. |
