23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won three on the Flat in France, but 0-18 over hurdles, although not disgraced when second to a previous winner at Musselburgh in March (3m, good to soft; hood back on); hood retained; may be better for the race after summer break. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close at Kelso (2m5f, good) last April but has not made a serious impact this season; now 8lb below the Kelso mark but 0-17 as a hurdler; a hood returns, after it was last fitted in 2023. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Went close at Kelso (2m5f) last spring; has regressive form this term, taking record over hurdles to 0-16, but gives the impression this belated drop back to about 2m is worth exploring. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Four chase wins in the second half of last year (3m/3m2f) and he regained the winning thread at Perth (3m, good) ten days ago following a break; had nearly 4l to spare and he's much respected off 6lb higher here. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won four times over fences last season from 3m to 3m2f, the second win coming in this race; the handicapper soon got hold him but a couple of his runs this year were fairly encouraging; back from a break, he could easily run well. |
6/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |

9th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Unable to transfer her bumper promise to hurdles and she was pulled up at Ayr last time; however, she may have needed that first run since May and back then she was a fair fifth of 15 on her handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft); her mark has fallen and she's not written off. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Below best over C&D (good to firm) last month but could improve for that first outing in two months; he's a three-time winner at Kelso, the latest over C&D (good) in May; no surprise if he plays a leading role. |
6/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 189y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Pulled up/well beaten at Cartmel on his two starts this summer but he won over this C&D (good) in May to further enhance his good record at Kelso; he's just 1lb above that last winning mark and could go well. |

Has improved over hurdles this season, finishing third in a novice handicap at Bangor (2m, good) and second in a similar event at Perth (2m, good) last month; contender. |

10st 7lb |
Won a Flat race in 2023 but is 0-21 over hurdles; tailed off on last two starts, admittedly in a maiden last time after four months off but he does not look a solid option; tongue tied first time. |

Verdict
The key race could be last month’s clash between Heart Above and GRIFTER. The selection came from a long way off the pace that day and he’s 6lb better off with the winner. March Wind may also have some say over a shorter trip than last time.[Alistair Jones]
