11st 0lb |
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. |

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. |

Ended last season with a course win (2m1f, soft) and will be fine over today's longer trip but has been badly out of form this term and seems best suited by soft ground. |

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. |
25/1 |

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. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
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. |

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. |

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. |
