15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now but looked as good as ever last year and was very respectable third over C&D (soft) in December; needs to rebound from a below-par run here on New Year's Day but recent 2lb drop helps, and he has gone well for 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop before. |

Doesn't have many miles on the clock for a veteran (2-26) and was just ahead of Evenwood Sonofagun and Dalileo when all three were no match for an improver over C&D 17 days ago; can run well again with 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop retaining the ride. |

Bumper/hurdle winner who appreciated the return to this discipline when going down narrowly over nearly 3m at Hexham last month; this is a stronger race, however. |

Ran plenty of good races without winning last season, including runner up over 3m on good ground here in August; not at his best on last two starts (soft/heavy); each-way chance provided the ground isn't very slow. |

Game winner at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) but then well held with no real excuses off this 6lb higher mark at Hexham (race won by Artic Mann); that was a backward step but the cheekpieces had been working well. |

Has been bang in form on his favoured good ground and only narrowly failed in his hat-trick bid at Kelso last week (3m2f, good); an assured stayer who might hang around for some place money but others are more intriguing. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Pulled up on soft ground at Ayr last month but this race is much less competitive and the quicker surface ought to suit him better; made the frame on his previous three outings and has each-way claims at least. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |

Course winner who scored easily at Ayr (2m5f, soft) last January and is now 1lb lower; however, she's been unable to match that level of form in the meantime and needs to raise her game this afternoon. |

5-45; wide-margin winner at Ayr (2m5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in January; moderate since, pulling up at Perth (2m4f, soft) on recent return from four-month break; easing mark but with clear risks attached. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Wide-margin winner in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but yet to build on that success; just a respectable third of five on latest outing at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) in June; others preferred. |
