13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Following a two-month break and a spell in the doldrums this 10yo returned to form when third of 13 at Ayr (3m, soft) a fortnight ago; this C&D winner could be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Two-time hurdle winner who is 5lb lower than when winning over fences here last March; however, this 10yo has been unable to threaten across his five starts since, back over hurdles on the last two occasions. |

Runner-up in all his completed starts over fences, the latest when going down by 3l in a Class 3 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) on his return from a 655-day absence; returning to 3m won't faze him but needs to avoid the 'bounce'. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in September and has also scored on heavy ground; on a handy mark but has been pulled up the last twice and needs to get back on track. |

2nd Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Came good over fences with hard-fought success in four-runnner race at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in September but that form isn't anything to get excited about and he has found things tougher since; others preferred. |

19th Nov 2022 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |

Has run well at up to 3m3f and he won a four-runner 2m4f handicap at Hexham in September; hasn't threatened the next twice, however, and looks up against it from 4lb out of the weights. |

Won small-field event off today's mark here (3m, soft) in January and will be fine over this shorter trip but ended last season with two poor runs and needs to have been refreshed by eight-month break. |

Ran well in a 2m4f chase at this fixture last year and doubled his tally over fences at Ayr in January (3m, soft); last two runs weren't overly encouraging, though. |

6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 75y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Tailed off/pulled up this season on his first two chase starts and has plenty to prove; however, this lightly raced bumper and maiden hurdle winner has had wind surgery since his last run and wears a first-time tongue-tie here, so it's possible he'll bounce back to form. |

13th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Heavy-ground bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in March; reportedly finished lame on handicap/chase debut at Ayr (2m4f) in November but he was 33-1 off a tough-looking mark; significantly up in trip with the cheekpieces worn the last twice now left off. |
