17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went down narrowly after a good tussle with stablemate Lights Are Green at Cartmel (3m1f, good) last month; softer ground, and a swift turnaround valid excuses for a lesser effort next time; 1-1 at Perth with weights rise effectively offset through Ed Austin's 5lb claim. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up three consecutive times in October-June but, with cheekpieces refitted, revived with game effort in defeat over 3m1f here on Saturday; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood today but he can cope with the drop back in trip and remains well handicapped on old form. |

29th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Rallied well to take second on last month's seasonal debut at Hexham (2m3f, soft) but ought to have been suited by the return to 3m when below form there since and has become a hard horse to predict. |

4th Nov 2022 Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Scoped dirty on first run back (Gipsy Lee Rose winner) from wind surgery; stuck on after making a mistake at the final fence on return to action here (2m4f; second) last month; 2lb higher, although that is still 10lb lower than when runner-up in this race 12 months ago; realistic chance. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3m chase winner on good last spring; last two efforts have been well below par but she is now well treated on form earlier in the season; bit to prove but no surprise if she bounces back. |
10/1 |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3m Ayr winner last March and runner-up twice over about 2m5f/2m4f in the autumn; needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kelso on latest outing and now has cheekpieces first time; more appeal than most. |
9/2 |

14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in a row in the autumn (C&D/2m4f, good/soft) before fair fourth of five here (3m2f, soft), when not quite seeing out the trip; every chance she'll be in the mix now back down in distance. |

20th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Largely out of form since returning from an absence in May, with by far his best effort coming when a 2l runner-up to a big improver over C&D in June; subsequent efforts have been disappointing, though, and others make more appeal at present. |
40/1 |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Bettered a disappointing stable debut when clear second to progressive rival over C&D (good) in June; effectively 2lb lower today but well beaten all three starts since and needs to bounce back again. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Well handicapped on old form for Sam England and proved he retains ability when second at Hexham (3m, good) in June, his second run after a long absence; well beaten twice since, though, and needs to bounce back again. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has become very unreliable but seemed to run well when third of four in tactical race at Kelso three weeks ago, and this dual C&D winner can't be ruled out off a career-low chase mark. |

28th May 2023 Good To Firm 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Doesn't look entirely solid on recent form but shaped better than the bare result at Hexham five days ago; gained both handicap wins off higher marks and receives plenty of weight all round in this field; possibilities if anywhere near best. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
His remote third at Beverley (2m) is readily forgiven when the ground was heavy and he was returning from an absence of 527 days; however, he's a 9yo now and looks vulnerable. |

3rd 7 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |

A six-time winner but a 9yo now and has been absent since finishing second over hurdles in March 2025; probably best watched. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 |
21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won over C&D in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) in February, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between and again on latest start but he was brought out quickly under a penalty in the latter; visor replaces his usual cheekpieces. |
