11st 3lb |
Improved to make winning handicap debut here (2m5f, good to soft) in November 2022 but was not seen again until two disappointing runs this winter (2m4f/2m6f); still has low mileage but needs to get career back on track. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Veteran who had an irregular heartbeat when last seen (pulled up); placed on four occasions otherwise this term but his strike-rate is still unimpressive; others are far less exposed. |

Only one jumps win since heavy-ground debut bumper success in 2016; creditable effort over this C&D last time and should give another good account returned to a soft surface. |

10yo who is a five-time hurdle winner and ran well when second at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February; however, his campaign concluded with two lesser performances and he returns from some time off today. |

Without a victory since early 2023 but he comes here in good order, ridden too aggressively when a fading sixth in 2m4f Hexham handicap 25 days ago; considered with cheekpieces refitted. |

Came good over fences at fourth attempt, with hard-fought course win (2m7f, good to soft) on last month's seasonal debut; drew clear of the others with the runner-up that day and a 5lb rise ought to be manageable. |

11st 11lb |
Won off this mark over hurdles at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in May and he seems versatile ground-wise; however, this 11yo hasn't been at his best more recently and needs to produce a bigger run on this belated chase debut. |

Appeared to have a bit left in the tank when scoring off 3lb lower over C&D (good to soft) in May but not much has gone to plan since and pulled up after racing too freely at Hexham on Wednesday; comes with risk. |

Won off this mark over hurdles at Perth (3m, good to soft) last April; the first-time cheekpieces may help him jump better but that's very much necessary following sizeable defeats this season on his first two chase runs. |

4-14 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Ayr (3m, good) in March; well beaten in series final at Musselburgh a few days later and remains on career-high mark but still enters calculations. |

Easy win at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) in January and got up late to follow up over this C&D (good to soft) last month, despite carrying his tail awkwardly; this 12yo could again be bang there if his good form continues. |

Seven hurdle wins but none since December 2020 and has tumbled a long way; well beaten on last month's stable debut (favourite) but much better when fourth at Southwell 16 days ago (in these aids); Sean Bowen booked and this 12yo might still have another hurrah in him. |

Both wins over fences, the most recent at Ayr (3m, soft; 14-1) in November; pulled up twice since, with no obvious explanation; reverts to hurdles for the first time since November 2022 seeking a much needed revival. |
