15th Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 200y |
11st 5lb |
Won twice on better ground over fences in the summer; form has dipped in her last couple of starts including back over timber last time when pulled up in first-time blinkers (retained); well treated on peak form but suspicion she wants the ground quicker than this. |

26th Dec 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Was in decent form over fences during the summer, winning twice; was below her best in cheekpieces last time and reverts to hurdles with blinkers tried; lower mark in this sphere but isn't as effective. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; didn't get very far at Listowel two weeks ago but was badly hampered by a faller and he was heavily backed in that competitive race; still looks on a workable mark and this admirable veteran is a key player for in-form yard. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth 19 days ago (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; this will take more winning but if as good again he'll be involved. |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
C&D winner last July for a sixth win over fences but has been absent since finishing tailed off later that month; on a good mark and best to let the market guide as to his current wellbeing. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Not one to rely on and his recent form over fences is far from encouraging; handily weighted though if back on his A-game reverted to this sphere. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran; strike-rate of just 2-37 over fences and hard to fancy having been soundly beaten on last three starts. |
25/1 |

4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Took this 12 months ago but he arrives on the back of a poor ninth in 3m Hexham handicap chase 19 days ago; blinkers replace visor now with something to prove. |

Four-time chaser winner; out of form when last in action last spring but resumes on a workable mark and with trip/ground suitable; market may guide. |

23rd May 2024 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
All wins on good/good to soft (2m-2m5f); won at Musselburgh in November (2m); pulled up on soft ground in January but posted a better effort back on a more suitable surface when third to a 20l winner here (2m5f, good) this month after a four-month break; should be all the sharper for that and he's back on a good mark; each-way claims. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
10yo who has done well since switched back to hurdling and she made it three wins from her last four starts when scoring at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but she won going away last time and still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won two in a row at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last autumn and she didn't run badly here (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago when returning from some time off; could build on that latest performance; showed promise early in career on sole encounter with soft ground. |
11/2 |

9th 9 |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Reverted to hurdling with back-to-back wins in Class 5 handicaps at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in the autumn; still well handicapped on older form but 252-day absence may have checked her momentum. |

28th May 2023 Good To Firm 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Regained the winning thread here (2m7f, good) this month, taking Kelso record to 3-9; back up the weights but remains well treated, having defied a 3lb higher mark in this contest 12 months ago; holds strong claims against rivals who aren't in peak form currently. |
