24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Both hurdle wins at Kelso, over 2m6f (good) and 2m (good to soft) but his C&D second on New Year's Day was right up there with his best efforts, pulling clear with subsequent Pertemps close seventh; 5lb higher today but is more likely than not to go well. |

11st 13lb |
Won twice last year and a clear runner-up over C&D (soft) on New Year's Day, behind one who has followed up; again second at Kelso (2m6f, good) on Friday and he's a contender if this doesn't come too soon. |

10yo who wasn't at his best last year but all six of his wins have come here and his third of six over C&D (good to soft) in November was a step back in the right direction; another 2lb lower today; in calculations. |

11st 8lb |
Won four-runner handicap at Hexham last June (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); disappointing since; needs first-time blinkers to bring about significant improvement. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Captured this prize last year (fourth win at the track) and caught the eye when eighth of 12 in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 34 days ago, racing wide and set a lot to do; he's a player off a 2lb lower mark now. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Gained a first win for two years at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and backed it up with a good second of nine in 2m Hexham handicap 15 days ago when set a lot to do; this veteran is not taken lightly eased 1lb. |
7/2 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Mainly in good form this year, gaining a well-deserved win at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good; blinkers on for fourth time); up 4lb; could go well again. |

15th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |

Winless since his 3yo debut and has regressed under both codes in recent times; won't mind the softer ground, down another 3lb and going without the usual headgear by way of a change. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Debut AW winner (1m) who is on a 29-race losing run; last of seven when stepped up to 1m5f at Ayr latest; has finished runner-up over C&D (soft) previously; given a chance by the handicapper now, so not written off. |

Beaten a long way over C&D in the spring before a better showing from the front in a 3m2f hurdle round Fontwell; is some way down the pecking order for a yard also responsible for Nadim. |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-18 over hurdles but has largely been consistent since the spring; made most of the running when third behind Prince Nino over C&D this month and has the same mark today; probably won't be far away. |

Dual Flat winner over 1m in France; yet to win over hurdles although has been running well enough in handicaps over 2m4f/3m here this summer to suggest he has a chance. |

16th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Two novice wins last spring but has proved disappointing in handicaps; better signs in two most recent starts, the latest at Southwell, and can be considered if cheekpieces have a beneficial effect. |
9/4 |

4th 5 |
28th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Won two novice hurdles towards end of last season but has become rather disappointing in handicaps this term; took step back in right direction on latest outing but still has something to prove. |

25lb below his latest/highest winning mark of July 2020 but surprising if nothing proves sharper at the trip once more. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |

12yo who is not the force of old and has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to July 2020; however, there have been some fair runs this season and he's been given a chance by the handicapper; each-way possible. |
