24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
9yo who was tailed off at Kelso in February last time but that was the competitive Morebattle Hurdle over 2m; in good form over 2m4f prior to that, winning at Newcastle then second at Aintree (both good to soft); likely to be in the mix back up in trip. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November and second to progressive winner at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in December; unraced over a trip this short and there's a suspicion this 9yo will be vulnerable in a race this competitive, but he's 2-3 at Kelso and is not ruled out each-way. |

28th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 51y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Strike-rate of 5-12 over fences and was highly tried before making the most of a good opportunity at Newbury (2m handicap on good to firm); this looks another good piece of placing even with his penalties. |

11th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Tough and consistent novice chaser; not disgraced behind a very useful rival in match race at Plumpton (2m3f) most recently, though proved no match for the winner; has bits of Grade 2 form but this is a harder task; bottom of this field on ratings. |

4th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
2021 Irish point winner but he's had just four races under rules, pulled up on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft; 33-1) in December on latest; that was after a 435-day layoff and he had wind surgery soon afterwards; also now tongue tied but he needs to build on his 2022 novice placings. |

11th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
3m point winner who showed ability in his three novice hurdles last year; this is his first run since but trainer can ready one after an absence and Brian Hughes is booked on handicap debut; interesting. |

Nine-race maiden who has not finished closer than 24l to a winner and he dropped out in a low-grade handicap here (3m, good to firm) on his return last month; opposable. |

2nd Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Fair on the Flat but was pulled up on hurdling debut for Ann Duffield in the autumn and also struggled on first hurdle start for current stable, over C&D behind Welsh Charger eight days ago. |

22nd Feb 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Fair bumper/Flat scorer for Brian Ellison but he was pulled up on his hurdling debut for Ann Duffield at Kelso in October and also came in well held back on the level in 2m Wolverhampton handicap last month for his new stable; others appeal more. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Didn't jump great when winning at Southwell (2m, good to soft) but the hot favourite in second was even worse in that department; it could be dodgy form but they did at least pull clear; raised 5lb. |
