22nd Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Looked in excellent nick when winning by 5l at Hexham (1m7f, good) in June, and ran well again there from out of the weights in higher-grade race a few days later; suited by this track too and versatile regarding trip; must be considered. |

Gained three of his five chase wins over C&D, the latest by 5l from Dream Jet in Class 5 event eight days ago (good ground); effectively 11lb higher from 5lb out of the weights in this higher-grade contest but evidently in prime form. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has a decent record here (231413) but usually needs a run under his belt to hit form after a break; this will be his first run of the year but his course record means he cannot be ignored. |
9/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Career best when winning at Hexham (1m7f) in May, his third success over fences, all at about 2m; didn't match that despite finishing second next time but it was a solid return, back from a small break, when keeping on for fourth of seven at Market Rasen (2m1f, also good) 19 days ago; has weakened over this trip and beyond before but it looks worth exploring again. |
7/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
C&D winner who produced a career best at Hexham (1m7f, good) in May when landing his third chase win but well-held when second of five finishers at Perth (2m, good) in June; consistent sort who may have benefitted from the short break and is not out of this. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over C&D on good ground last season, including in this race, his mark going up 14lb as a result; won over 1m7f off his new mark here last time; up another 4lb but should again be competitive. |
3/1 |

1st 11 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won three in a row over 3m here last spring (good/good to soft); returned from an absence with encouraging sixth over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) recently; however, he may well find today's trip inadequate. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In excellent form over fences last spring, winning three times at Hexham (3m, good/good to soft); can cope with drop back in trip for this first hurdling start since 2022 but has fitness to prove after 294-day layoff. |

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. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
10yo whose form has been mixed this season but he's edged back down the weights and his Newmarket yard is 3-6 here; capable of a big run. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Most consistent win or lose over either obstacle for this stable until finding a brush hurdle series final at Worcester all too much last time (2m4f, good); swimming in calmer waters again on this return to fences, albeit still above any class he's ever won in. |
3/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Consistent over fences and hurdles for new stable this season, winning once under each discipline; suited by this C&D but may find less exposed rivals better handicapped today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2021; lightly raced since; third over C&D in March (heavy); not quite so good next time at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy); bled from the nose when pulled up last time; a possible. |

21st May 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Inconsistent 10yo whose sole win came over C&D (good to soft) in November 2021; lengthy absence before three runs on heavy going this year, easily best of those when third over 2m4f back here on penultimate start; however, he's not completely ruled out back here from just out of the weights and down in trip with the anticipated better ground likely to suit. |

0-21 under all codes; succumbed only in closing stages after bold bid to make all at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) in October but looked badly out of sorts on next two outings (cheekpieces added last time) and returns from 102-break with quite a bit to prove. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went down narrowly after a good tussle with stablemate Lights Are Green at Cartmel (3m1f, good) last month; softer ground, and a swift turnaround valid excuses for a lesser effort next time; 1-1 at Perth with weights rise effectively offset through Ed Austin's 5lb claim. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up three consecutive times in October-June but, with cheekpieces refitted, revived with game effort in defeat over 3m1f here on Saturday; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood today but he can cope with the drop back in trip and remains well handicapped on old form. |

Dual hurdle winner for new stable since the summer, latterly when keeping on too strongly for next-time-out winner Ez Tiger at Plumpton (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) in September; flopped badly when odds-on over fences last month (bled from the nose) but has strong claims here if back on song. |
