6th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Course winner in 2022 and 2023 at up to an extended 2m3f (soft); weighted to strike again at present, but goes 3f further than ever before today without shaping of late as in urgent need of a stayers' trip. |

Won gamely from the front here (2m3f, soft) last November and is back on the same mark now, but looked badly out of sorts on the Flat/over fences when last seen in June/July. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ended most recent campaign with a fifth chase win, in April 2023; well held over hurdles since back from an absence but his recent Sedgefield chase second for Osian Radford was encouraging; has won both course starts, over hurdles (2m4f, heavy) and this race in 2023; solid player. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
No win since scoring at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in February 2023, but has finished runner-up four times since, including to Kicksaftersix at Hexham (2m) last summer; was "never travelling" when last in action at Musselburgh three months ago; no issue with the forecast conditions. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair second here (2m, soft) last month when 6lb out of the handicap and runs off his proper mark today, which is the same as when winning this 12 months ago (soft); strong contender. |

14th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Four-time chase winner in France but his last success was in 2019 and he's been generally very disappointing in Britain; on reduced mark but he was a remote third at Perth two weeks ago and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time chase winner in France but generally very disappointing in Britain; unlucky to come to grief after first fence at Cartmel last month (first-time blinkers) and Brian Hughes is booked again here but he's 4lb out of the weights and remains difficult to enthuse over. |
25/1 |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four French wins (up to 2019) but 0-15 in Britain and some way behind two of today's rivals over C&D last month; Brian Hughes back on board and blinkers the latest aid to be fitted but too many doubts. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won over C&D off this mark in March last year (good to soft); plenty of decent efforts since, including when third at Kelso last time (2m5f, good); each-way chance. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
A case can be made on form as recent as November but she failed to shine on her two starts in February and needs to raise her game. |
12/1 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won two 2m4f chases last season (good/good to soft) and gave good account when clear second over C&D (good to soft) in the autumn; recent defeat from out of the weights can be overlooked and she won't mind if the ground remains soft; good chance. |

Multiple winner (including two chases) but the visor that sparked a bit of a revival two runs back didn't work so well last time; now on a losing run of 14 and others are preferred. |

13th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |

In process of running quite well before penultimate-fence fall here (2m1f, soft) in November but was soundly beaten in a selling handicap hurdle on Boxing Day and this regressive 11yo has become hard to predict; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor today. |

1st Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |

Poor hurdler who was pulled up on chase debut at Sedgefield in November; cheekpieces now tried but would be a surprise winner. |
