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. |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
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. |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |

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. |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 5f 214y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Kept on for fair fourth behind Court At Slip at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last month and could build on that run now back up in trip, having gone close over 4m at Hexham last March; capable of having a say. |
10/1 |

4th 4 |
14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
11yo who was well beaten on his comeback at Carlisle last month but he left last season's reappearance behind to go very close at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) next time, and he's on a competitive mark; blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces (ran well in them earlier in career); not discounted. |

16th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Thorough stayer who made all to win by 14l over C&D (soft) three weeks ago and is now 7-39 over fences; this is more competitive than the races he's used to contesting, though, and he probably doesn't have much margin for error after recent 5lb rise. |

25th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Prominent racer who won at Hexham in December (3m, heavy) and at Catterick in January (3m1f, soft); stiffer task here but visor back on; should go well again. |

11st 12lb |
Not seen under rules since pulled up over C&D 11 months ago; a dual winner in the pointing field in 2025 however so this one-time fair winning 3m chaser can't be dismissed. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Winning hurdler/chaser on heavy ground; has shown some fair form in points, but was well beaten last time and faces a stiffer task here. |
25/1 |

22nd Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Battled on well to win small-field Catterick chase (3m1f, heavy) off today's mark in January but looked out of sorts on both subsequent starts over fences; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this first hurdling start since 2021; others look much less risky. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He's on a reduced mark and had wind surgery prior to being brought down at the fourth fence here a fortnight ago; however, he was pulled up twice in a row prior to the wind op and this 12yo has plenty to prove. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Very strong claims on the form of his all-the-way deep-ground Ayr wins of three years ago, but twice pulled up in December when last seen and a big response to further wind surgery is required. |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |

Won twice on soft ground, including over 3m3f, at Ayr in January/March 2020, but was then off for 672 days; hasn't recaptured his best form since; plenty to prove. |

11st 3lb |
Has won over 3m2f on soft at Kelso; sound reappearance run when third at Ayr in October (3m, good to soft); rather disappointing since; fell in this race two years ago; has a bit to prove. |
