10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
All three chase wins have been on this course but over 2m4f; 1m7f would have been too sharp on last month's return from a break but he could be vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't really fire when upped to 3m and fitted with cheekpieces (retained) at Market Rasen in July but remains lightly raced and is a contender if judged on his close second at Hexham (2m4f, good) two starts ago. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Low-mileage 7yo who bettered his low-key chase/handicap debut when close second to Backbyjet at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month; moves up in trip with cheekpieces added today; should still have more to offer. |

28th Dec 2024 Good 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |
12/1 |

3rd 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Has won four chases, including over C&D in May 2024 (good); best recent form has been at Musselburgh and he was below par over C&D last time (good). |
14/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
11yo whose losing run goes back 11 races to November 2024 but he ran pretty well off his lower hurdle mark at Musselburgh last month, following a break, and all four of his wins have come over fences (two of them here); not discounted back chasing. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Returned from long absence with a promising stable debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, when he travelled strongly for a long way, and he was unlucky to be brought down fairly early on at Hexham this month; remains well handicapped on old form; might be the answer. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Ex-Nigel Hawke; fair fifth after a long break on stable debut at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good to soft; 3-1); should come on for that; one with a chance. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed back-to-back wins at Hereford over 3m1f on good this spring; found out in a higher grade twice since but back at his winning level and should run his race. |

3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Record of 3-13 over fences; 2-2 over C&D, namely good-ground wins this spring; below par at Fontwell in hat-trick attempt but has possibilities back here; admittedly yet to score above Class 5. |
13/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
8yo who has been resurgent with wins at Hereford (3m1f, good) in his last two starts; 3lb higher than last time but he stayed on strongly to beat a clear second and remains well handicapped on his best form; key player. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who has been lightly raced and out of form in recent years; returned from latest layoff with low-key hurdle run in April; considered only if lively in the betting before this return to chasing. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Six wins split between hurdling and chasing but last success was in 2020 and this veteran was out of sorts in only two runs last year; has lots to prove back over hurdles after 304 days off. |

12st 0lb |
Won at Kelso (2m5f, good) last September and followed up over this C&D (soft); hint of spark at Kelso last time and he's back down to his last winning mark, but has to take another step back in the right direction. |

26th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Second in this race last year and three of his seven chase wins have been at this venue; did little on last three starts, the latest back over fences here when 33-1 after 161-day break, so there are mixed messages. |
