10th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not particularly consistent but has a chance on his best form; successful at Carlisle in March (2m3f, good to soft) when wearing a visor for the first time, but well beaten off this 7lb higher mark with same headgear when favourite at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good). |

Bounced back quickly from last month's poor performance and took form to whole new level at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft; first-time visor) three weeks ago, keeping on strongly to win readily by 6l; went up 7lb for that but must be considered in current mood. |

Only win over hurdles came in a Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good to soft) but consistent until pulling up the final time; won his only point so every reason to believe he'll do well over fences. |

11st 5lb |
Finished alone in a match race on chase debut in October; not beaten far when last of four at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in February but ran poorly over that C&D last month and needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |

Dual course winner over hurdles; finished alone in a match race on seasonal/chase debut in October then wasn't beaten far when last of four over C&D (good to soft) in February; eased in grade today and could still have potential over fences. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won over hurdles (2m, soft) last March; five starts over fences and has run respectably in four of them, including when third of nine at Worcester (2m, good) on her return last month; winner was a good second at Aintree next time; respected from the same mark. |

0-4 over fences but ran well to be third in a Cheltenham handicap for mares in April, finishing close up behind Somespring Special who recently won well at Chepstow; lurks off the lowest weight and could play a part. |

10st 12lb |
Made promising handicap debut when fourth at Kelso (2m5f, good; first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces) in May and has claims if judged on that evidence, but needs to bounce back from last month's poor run. |

Displayed ability in both British points (2m4f, good/good to soft) and again when third of five on bumper debut for Robin Dickin at Warwick (2m, good) in April; changed hands for £52,000 in May; improvement is needed but his new trainer's bumper horses are running well and he's respected. |

25th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Blotted copybook at Carlisle last week, whipping round and unseating rider at the start, but launched chasing career with a clear second at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January and can cope with today's drop back in trip. |

Runner-up over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) in December and filled the same position on last month's chase debut at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy), where he was clear with the progressive winner; chance. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Point winner; chased home a useful horse in a Bangor maiden in March (2m3f, good) and probably performed to a similar level back there next time on handicap debut (2m7f, good to soft); sets the standard here. |

12st 0lb |
Made all at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and placed on last two starts, most recently runner-up at Kelso (2m1f, good) last week; the step back up in trip poses a question but he's a leading player if seeing it out. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two wins at Sedgefield last season, the second a 2m1f handicap chase (good); went up 6lb for that and was put up another 7lb for finishing 4l third from 8lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month (2m, soft); could go well despite that rise. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Progressive in cheekpieces, winning at Sedgefield in November (2m1f, soft; hurdles) and March (2m, good; fences); should appreciate going back left-handed after being soundly beaten at Carlisle last time but he's 8lb out of the handicap today and the cheekpieces are left off. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Determined last-gasp Newcastle winner in February 2025 (2m1f, good to soft), and recent Hexham third on sole run since was much more promising than the 31l distance beaten might imply (rallied after late blunder); may be a case of whether this longer trip is within range now. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Very lightly raced 8yo who returned from a layoff to open account at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February 2025; not seen since but may still have potential and can evidently go well when fresh. |
