6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to win over fences (0-13); third at Doncaster (3m, soft; on first start since wind surgery) in February, but well beaten at Sedgefield a fortnight later; absent since (107 days) and now 5lb lower in the handicap; others far safer. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

Yet to win over fences; fair run having had a wind op at Doncaster last time (3m, soft) and could go well off his current good mark. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last May and runs off 8lb lower today; however, he struggled on his four starts towards the end of last year; major turnaround required on first run since wind surgery. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner who scored over fences at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) last December but he hasn't really fired in his last three runs; chase record is now 1-11 and others are more persuasive. |
9/1 |

4th 8 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dual hurdle winner whose latest success was over fences on Boxing Day; ran well in that scene afterwards but, following a break of 110 days, he finished well behind over hurdles at Hexham. |
14/1 |

9th 5 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Two wins over hurdles, the first in this race in 2024; 22l fourth in this race last year; went chasing later on last season, winning at Sedgefield on Boxing Day; now back hurdling after a break. |

3rd May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Seems well suited by this track but was well beaten on last month's chasing debut at Carlisle (2m5f, good) and is now 0-25 under all codes; 3lb out of the weights today; others preferred. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner (2m5f/2m3f) this spring, after a break; didn't see out 3m on latest outing but drops back in trip for this switch back to hurdling and his current mark is workable; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Continued his progress, turning over an odds-on stablemate of The Flying Poet at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; from 6lb lower; fences in the home straight were omitted) three weeks ago; his win in a small field there the time before was over nearly 2m7f; looks hard to beat in hat-trick mission, if proving equally effective over 3m. |
13/8 |

1st 3 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Knuckled down to get the better of the favourite in a tight finish here (2m6f, good; 7-2) a fortnight ago; that was his first win since his bumper days, so a nominal 3lb rise seems fair; dropping back in trip is unlikely to pose too much of a problem. |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-10; runner-up at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in March 2024 but has failed to better that, beaten when falling late on at Hexham (2m) last time; a guessing game as to how he'll fare after wind surgery and 521 days off. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed in similar company at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) and Sedgefield (2m4f, soft); less productive on his last two appearances, with plenty of work to do in order to reverse course form with Huit Reflets; this drop back to 2m is certainly worth exploring; 5lb 'wrong'. |
18/1 |

5th 6 |
1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Second to one who went on to complete a four-timer at Sedgefield in March (2m4f, soft); below that back at 2m last time (good, hung left); chance on that Sedgefield form. |

Hurdles form includes a win off 1lb higher at Cartmel in 2022 and respectable third here (2m7f, good; cheekpieces fitted) on latest outing; possibilities, provided he takes well to fences. |

Comes here badly out of sorts, tried blinkered when pulled up (for the third start running) over C&D in July; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner in November/December 2021 (good to soft/heavy); rather disappointing since and probably best watched despite tumbling handicap mark (4lb wrong here). |
