16th Mar 2023 Heavy 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Five 3m wins, including last month at Ayr and on four occasions here; work to do to reverse Kelso Christmas form with Glittering Love and Morozov Cocktail, and indeed with the latter in this race last year. |

Yet to win away from Hexham but bounced back from rare poor run when battling on for fourth at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) in December and ought to be better suited by today's quicker ground; probably won't be far away. |

Runner-up off 1lb lower mark in this race last season (heavy); mainly decent efforts since but a rare poor run when pulled up in 4m chase at Hexham last time; not ruled out. |

Came good over fences at fourth attempt, with hard-fought course win (2m7f, good to soft) on last month's seasonal debut; drew clear of the others with the runner-up that day and a 5lb rise ought to be manageable. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when battling well to beat a clear second in a Newcastle handicap (2m7f, heavy) last month; this is a deeper race but a 3lb rise looks fair and she's open to more progress over fences; big player. |

Nine-race maiden; built upon her seasonal/chase debut when second of five at Kelso (3m2f, soft) in November but looked rather laboured when well-held fourth at Catterick (3m1f, soft) on New Year's Day and will need to show a bit more zest here. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3m chase winner on good last spring; last two efforts have been well below par but she is now well treated on form earlier in the season; bit to prove but no surprise if she bounces back. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3m Ayr winner last March and runner-up twice over about 2m5f/2m4f in the autumn; needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kelso on latest outing and now has cheekpieces first time; more appeal than most. |
9/2 |

7th 9 |
14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in a row in the autumn (C&D/2m4f, good/soft) before fair fourth of five here (3m2f, soft), when not quite seeing out the trip; every chance she'll be in the mix now back down in distance. |

Won at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January and he's also effective on good ground; didn't run badly the next twice but failed to threaten and this 10yo needs to be at the top of his game on today's reappearance. |

12-race maiden; fair sixth on chase debut at Ayr (3m, good to soft) but that was back in February 2023 and likely to come on for this run having had a 651-day break since; 4lb out of the handicap. |

0-17 now and was well below par when last seen over fences/hurdles in early summer for Colin McBratney; needs this yard switch to spark major improvement. |

Won three points but is 0-16 under Rules and she was pulled up when beaten at Cartmel last week; her Rules form suggests she's more effective over shorter trips than this and others look more likely. |

11st 9lb |
Didn't achieve much when remote second on hurdle debut in the autumn, and the form of last month's fifth of seven at Musselburgh (3m, soft) isn't anything to get too excited about either; that said, he's open to significant improvement on today's chase/handicap debut. |
