10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Standing dish here with all five career wins having come at the venue and on slow ground, including over this trip; produced one of his better efforts when second here last Boxing Day but not as good since; back on a very handy mark and can go well. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time course winner (2m3f/2m5f) who was second here on Boxing Day and has had excuses on both starts since, namely the 3m2f trip here then a different course (Market Rasen); could play a leading role back here. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
All five wins over fences have been at Sedgefield; didn't appear to get home there over 3m2f (good to soft) when seventh of nine finishers last month but best to wait until he returns to his favourite venue at a more suitable trip. |

Conditions suit and although 2lb out of the handicap is on a good mark; hasn't been in top form this season, though fair run when fourth at Wetherby last time (2m5f, good). |

He's dropped to a mark 15lb lower than when winning at Catterick (2m3f, good) last January and there have been some fair efforts this season; not ruled out but it's been a patchy campaign and others appeal more. |

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. |

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. |

Returned to form with 13l win on chase debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day and bounced back from lesser run at Sedgefield with fair third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); there can be optimism he'll be fine now back up in trip and on the forecast good ground; not ruled out. |

Ex-Irish; has won three chases for this yard, the latest at Carlisle in April 2022 (2m5f, good); creditable fourth over hurdles from well out of the handicap on same track last month, but went up the ratings following that and others now look better treated. |

Not the most reliable these days but was under 5l away in a C&D handicap three weeks ago when a stone out of the weights (behind Masked Crusader); remains to be seen if that flattered him and he's off the same mark here. |

11st 11lb |
Won three in a row early last year (2m/2m4f, good to soft-heavy; including here); has dropped below his last winning mark and he's one to watch in the betting, but this 11yo has struggled on his last three starts (two this winter) and a major turnaround is needed. |

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

Won three in a row last February/March (2m-2m4f, good to soft-heavy) but ended last season with a disappointing effort and also ran poorly when back in action last month; comes here with quite a bit to prove; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |

Regressive 10yo who ended 2023 with two disappointing chase runs for Ewan Whillans; might have been refreshed by combination of subsequent 172-day break and change of scenery, though, and market support will bring him into the equation; 2lb wrong; cheekpieces/tongue-tie removed. |

Some respectable efforts at around 2m this autumn but he took his losing run to 23 when well held at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) 20 days ago; bit to prove again after that and he goes into unknown territory at this trip. |

Hexham specialist who was runner-up there on consecutive outings in the autumn (2m4f/1m7f); versatile regarding ground and has the services of Brian Hughes today but his record at this track is not persuasive. |

16th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

Unable to land the same C&D event for a third straight year last month (soft; took C&D record to 102312), but winner and fourth each scored next time; near-miss over 2m4f here the time before underlines his present wellbeing, and remains 5lb below his last winning mark; player. |
