10st 12lb |
Winless since early in 2023 and didn't get going last season; tumbling in the weights but others are more appealing. |

22nd Jan 2024 Frozen 3m 0f 0y Class 6 |
12st 6lb |
Should be vulnerable at these weights but at least he comes here on the back of a solid effort in defeat in a 3m2f heavy-ground handicap at Kelso; mostly consistent last season as well. |

12st 0lb |
Scored over 2m7f on heavy ground here in January and was close/clear second on good ground over that trip here in May; made low-key reappearance here (2m5f) last month but might have needed that outing and will be better suited by today's longer trip; shortlisted. |

3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Soft ground and the sharp track were nominated as excuses when he was pulled up at Catterick last time (albeit he's won on soft in the past); won at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in December on second start back from a long absence and he's a major player if rediscovering that form. |

16th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
In good form in December after a long absence, winning at Ayr (3m, good to soft) on his second start back; the soft ground and sharp track were nominated as excuses when he was pulled up at Catterick last time (albeit he's won on soft in the past) but it's hard to be confident on the back of that. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Thorough stayer who made all at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February and rebounded from a lesser effort when third at Perth (3m, good) last month; has never run here before but is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip. |

Disappointing at Haydock last time (3m1f, good) but successful at Doncaster before that (3m, good to soft); each-way chance. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Veteran who retains enthusiasm, and he jumped well and made all at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February, but he's back up 6lb and probably in a stronger race here. |

A three-time chase winner at up to 3m2f last term for Stuart Coltherd and he comes here on the back of a couple of placed efforts in the pointing field in February; this veteran must enter calculations. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Pulled up here on latest outing in May and now 0-10 over fences but was placed in last two editions of this race (good to soft/soft) and has slipped to a dangerous mark; headgear removed. |

8th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Good-ground hurdle winner at this meeting two years ago and, although 0-9 over fences, it's easy to overlook last two below-par efforts on heavy; no surprise should he do much better this time. |
