30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Well treated on last season's best efforts but this 10yo hasn't been at the top of his game on his last two starts and hopes are pinned on the change of headgear giving him a boost. |

28th Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Revitalised by the cheekpieces last season, completing a quickfire heavy-ground hat-trick in March (getting the better on Camp Belan in the last of those), all at around 3m, but signed off the campaign on a low note; only 4lb higher than his most recent win but needs to have been freshened up from the break and the cheekpieces are missing here. |

26th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Form figures of 2111 after the cheekpieces went on, showing a liking for 3m on soft or heavy ground; might be on a tough mark now (not even taking into account being 3lb out of the weights) and he ran no race last time at Carlisle. |

4-7 for this yard, the latest win coming at Kelso in May; fair third at Hexham the following month and softening ground will suit this thorough stayer well (all four wins on good to soft/soft); live player. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Irish point winner in February 2022 (3m, soft to heavy); yet to win over regulation fences, but several fair efforts including when 7l fifth of 13 at Uttoxeter last time (3m, good). |

6th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Flattered to deceive on a few occasions over hurdles and doesn't seem to see his races out; again weakened to be fourth on last month's chase debut at Southwell (2m4f, good); this longer trip may prove beneficial and he has dropped to a workable mark; each-way player. |

14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Irish point winner in February 2022 (3m, soft/heavy); patchy form over hurdles; cheekpieces now on again (pulled up with an irregular heartbeat only previous time he wore them); bit to prove on chase debut. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Ayr (3m, soft) four weeks ago; he's also effective on good to soft ground and a 4lb rise won't necessarily beat him, but he's inconsistent and has a good record at Ayr, so it's questionable whether he'll produce another good performance today. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Course winner who comes here in decent nick, though he finished tired when second of seven in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase three weeks ago; he can race off a 2lb lower mark here so must still enter calculations. |

14th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Modest form so far but showed a little more last time when tried in this headgear combination and finishing fifth of 15 at Wetherby (2m3f, good, Red Ochre third); 4lb wrong but that is more than negated by rider's claim. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

2m7f course winner (good) over hurdles; hard to make a strong case for on his chase debut based on any recent form in either code. |
