14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who was in and out last season but returned to form when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in March last time; could have a part to play if conditions are suitable (he's unraced on good ground under rules). |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Point winner who is one to watch in the betting off a lowly mark on her chase debut; however, she's been struggling over hurdles this year and needs to raise her game in a big way. |

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. |
16/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
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. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Progressive for new stable, winning four times, until form dipped sharply in last two outings; has seemingly gone off the boil and may be in the assessor's grip now to boot. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Tailed off at Leicester (2m6f, good to soft) last month but highly progressive for new yard previously, winning four times (2m4f/3m, good to soft/heavy); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |

28th Dec 2023 Good 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over C&D on New Year's Day in 2022 but it's been a long time since he's shown any worthwhile form. |
100/1 |

18th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Catterick (3m1f, soft) for Sue Smith last January but he was out of sorts in final five runs for that yard and was pulled up at Kelso on his comeback last month; overall record now stands at 1-20 and he has plenty to prove from out of the weights. |
40/1 |
Verdict
It’s difficult to get away from BEBSIDE BANTER who jumped really en route to a successful chase debut here three weeks ago. Considering the second had run well the time before and was clear of the remainder, a 3lb rise looks very lenient. There’s some hope that Carrigeen Castle and Heeztheboy could improve for fences.[Alistair Jones]
