Picked up where he left off last spring when scoring on his return from absence at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November; largely consistent; should remain competitive after a 3lb rise. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
10yo who was pulled up over fences last May following a long absence and well beaten over hurdles at Carlisle in November; however, he ran well for a long way at Carlisle, shaping as though he may have needed the outing, and this five-time chase winner is not ruled out now back over fences. |

18th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won three in a row over fences (2m1f/2m4f) towards the end on 2021 but he's drawn a blank since; on reduced mark and wasn't beaten far at Kelso last month but he has a very mixed record in last six starts and others are more convincing. |

Admirably consistent for vast majority of last season and has dropped below his last winning mark; reappeared with good third at Kelso last November but has struggled on his three starts since and a revival is needed. |

Two wins last season, at Ayr in January (3m, soft) and on final start at Kelso in April (2m7f, soft); off since and although these conditions suit, is likely to need the run after a break. |

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. |

Versatile type who has won three times over fences including at 2m and 3m; now 4lb lower than for his last success 12 months ago but he's been pulled up in last two runs (fences/hurdles) and needs to turn things around; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Low-mileage 10yo; fair fourth at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in December on return from an absence and he was in front when falling two out at Ayr (2m4f, soft) a month ago; recently withdrawn on account of good ground which is worrying. |

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. |

28th Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Out-and-out staying veteran; placed on all four starts last season in a light campaign, winning at Catterick (3m1f) in December before finishing a good second, off this mark, back there (3m6f) the following month; respected but his record back from a break suggests he'll likely need his first outing since January. |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 5f 214y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Ended long losing run with an easy win here (3m1f, soft) a fortnight ago; on that evidence his claims shouldn't be dismissed off today's 8lb higher mark, but this 11yo is in a tougher race and is unproven at the trip. |
