10st 11lb

J: James Bowen

T: Tim Easterby

Won four of his five starts in 2025 and went close off 1lb higher than today over C&D (good to soft) in January; below par on last two starts but the 2m5f trip then soft ground are possible excuses; no surprise if he bounces back with a good performance in first-time cheekpieces.

12st 1lb

J: Mr Thomas Easterby

T: Tim Easterby

A two-time winner (around 2m) either side of Christmas and he has continued in good nick, failing to stay when stepped up to 2m5f at Kelso last month; this C&D winner can bounce back.

11st 3lb

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Tim Easterby

Won five of his first six completed starts over hurdles (1m7f-2m2f) and has run well in defeat on his last two; now up in distance, which may well suit him, and he handles any ground; solid claims.

12st 2lb

J: Mr William Easterby

T: Tim Easterby

Has won five of his eight races over hurdles, the latest on handicap debut off 7lb lower at Market Rasen in December (2m2f, good to soft); close second at Haydock last time (1m7f, good to soft); up another 2lb but should go well again.

10st 13lb

J: Mr William Easterby

T: Tim Easterby

Made it 5-7 in his career (all over hurdles) when winning by 1l under William Easterby on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; needs another step forward to defy a 5lb rise in this better race but this 5yo may well have more left in the tank.
