4th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
High-mileage 9yo who exploited some help from the handicapper when holding on well to score at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) on Boxing Day; can probably cope with today's 2lb higher mark but is not one to rely upon heavily. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Returned from one-year absence with good second on chase debut at Exeter (3m, heavy) in December but looked out of sorts when pulled up last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on return to hurdling. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Low-mileage 10yo who was 5-12 over hurdles; having his first race over fences when a 5l second to Isaac Des Obeaux at Exeter (3m, heavy) where he needed some driving but kept on well; this stiffer stamina test could be up his street. |

7th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 7f 98y Class 2 |

Got up near the finish in this race 12 months ago (heavy) and warrants respect in his bid for a repeat win, notwithstanding a 5lb higher mark and lack of recent match practice (off since April). |

Won two small-field chases (3m1f/2m7f) about two years ago but was pulled up last month, after a long absence, and might need another run or two before he's of interest again. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |

On the up when last seen out in the spring of 2024, bagging a pair of handicap chases (around 3m) at Catterick and Newcastle; has a 23-month absence to overcome here but yard is among the winners so he's no forlorn hope. |

1st Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Given break after a lacklustre performance last May and again looked out of sorts when reappearing last month; can't be supported with any confidence at present but she's now 7lb lower than when going close over C&D (heavy) on chasing debut last March. |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Jumping lacked fluency last spring on first three chase starts and pulled up when last seen; however, she showed promise on her first two runs over fences and could have a part to play if back on song after a break. |

5th May 2023 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Definite ability for Dan Skelton before finishing held in a couple of Class 4 handicaps; no knocking the start he's made in points but he didn't exactly take Red Opium to the cleaners last time and is not overly convincing on his first run over regulation fences. |
10/1 |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Showed a fair level of ability on all three starts last year and not far off best on handicap/seasonal debut last month (first run since having wind tweaked); that form has been franked and he may well be capable of better. |

Won Kelso maiden (2m6f, good) just under a year ago but subsequent form has been very disappointing; needs the first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference today. |

12th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |

24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Something to prove regarding current form as she was a long way below her best over hurdles this winter; however, she's had a break and this strong stayer could prove suited by today's marathon test; not ruled out. |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |

11st 3lb |
Absent since below-par run in December but returned from break with creditable second at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft; stays much further) in November and won when fresh last spring; has travelled from Northumberland for this race and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester in May; absolute shocker at Warwick (also 2m4f, good) 29 days again, though, beaten 62l with no obvious excuses. |

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; did it well last time and a 4lb rise may not stop him. |
