Three-time winner last season (2m4f-2m5f, good-soft) but not seen since a below-par run in March and not sure to be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Eight-race maiden; best run over hurdles when runner-up at Kelso in November (2m5f, soft); interesting on chase debut. |

Runner-up in the autumn in his first two handicaps (2m4f/2m5f, soft) and brought down at the fifth flight at Newcastle last time; has shaped as though this step up in trip could suit and he holds likeable claims. |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden who was a respectable fourth over 2m5f at Kelso in November (soft) but she unseated, then pulled up, on next two starts; looks unlikely from 6lb out of the weights. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran okay when fourth of 12 here in November (2m5f, soft; beaten about 12l) on last completed start; however, she's 0-19 and it remains to be seen whether this drop back in trip will suit; others are more compelling. |

2nd Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |

0-16 over hurdles; kept on for modest fourth at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in November but will need to find something extra to get a win on the board; 1lb out of the weights. |

24th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Showed ability in bumpers but limitations exposed so far over hurdles; should be suited by this step up in trip but he'll have to raise his game to win from this mark on handicap debut. |

Maiden; easily his best display when close second at Musselburgh in January (made the running) but has failed to reproduce that in four subsequent starts, the latest a Hexham seller; hopes pinned on cheekpieces. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles but has taken well to chasing in recent months; given good tactical ride by Jonathon Bewley to beat 13 rivals at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and will be dangerous if all goes to plan here. |
11/4 |

18th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-8 over hurdles but he made it third-time lucky over fences when coming from off the pace to land a 14-runner handicap at Kelso (2m5f, good; 11-2) last month; that was in a tight finish but he's only 3lb higher here and is open to more progress; big player. |

0-8 over hurdles but last month's chasing debut was quite encouraging and he ran a big race before weakening into fifth at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) nine days ago; could have a say. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Regressive veteran who has been out of form over hurdles and fences this season; continues to slide down the weights but the addition of cheekpieces (retained) didn't appear to help much in a chase last month. |

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. |
