11st 13lb |
Twice finished runner-up at Kelso in the first half of this year (2m, soft/good to soft) and he returned from a break with an encouraging fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) last month; shaped as though he may improve for that latest run and he represents last year's winning yard; contender. |

Has pretty good 5-13 hurdling strike-rate that includes two course wins (2m/2m3f); not seen since his keeping-on second at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in first-time blinkers in May but remains on the same, workable mark; usual cheekpieces back on today. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Well below best during five-race campaign last season and absent since pulled up on soft ground in February; had wind surgery the following month, though, and ought to be better suited by the forecast quicker conditions here; too well handicapped to rule out; swaps visor for refitted blinkers. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Hasn't fired in any of his races this season but connections have tweaked the headgear and he has finished first and second in the last two renewals of this race, last year when fitted in new blinkers; daren't discount. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Good servant to connections over the years (eight wins; mixes hurdling and chasing) but has not fired on any of three appearances this season, and this cross-country debut is his first venture beyond about 2m4f; best suited by good/good to soft; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice on good ground (2m5f/2m3f) for this new stable last season and has been placed on last three appearances, most recently when second over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower today and seems very likely to be in the thick of things again. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |

Holding form well since January's Catterick success (2m3f, good), actually achieving more on RPRs when a close third at Newcastle latest; still well treated on his 2023-24 peak form, and no ground concerns. |

Won at Catterick in January (2m3f, good) and best form since when 0.5l second at Sedgefield last time (2m5f, good); conditions suit; chance. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runs off a mark fully 10lb lower than when winning over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in January 2023; however, he's been a long way below that level this season over fences and the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt major improvement. |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |

Hurdle winner of 5lb higher in early 2023; entitled to have needed the run when well-held fifth on return to chasing in November but dropped away very tamely in straight at Chepstow in January and comes here with some questions to answer. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Up in class and up in trip (by some way) having never gone beyond an extended 3m; however, he's got low mileage as a chaser and won eased down last time at Carlisle (good to soft); handicapper saw fit to raise him 9lb for that but if his stamina reserves can stretch this far then he might not be far away. |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (heavy/good to soft; including here) who scored at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago on his third chase start; led close home having been outpaced and today's stiffer test should be right up his street; firmly in calculations up 4lb. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |

Has won half of his 16 races over fences and should welcome this drop in grade after struggling last season in strong handicaps (his second was remote); has been absent for 12 months so some market confidence would be welcomed. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Six wins divided between hurdles and fences but he's seemingly on the decline and ideally needs further these days; the cheekpieces are new. |

5th 2 |
2nd Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
No longer the force of old and may be better suited by longer trips nowadays but he won over fences here in 2020 and didn't run badly when returning here for 2m4f hurdle two months ago; too well handicapped to rule out. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 |
1st Apr 2024 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Hurdle and chase successes on ground ranging from good to soft; winner of one course start, over fences in 2020, and well handicapped on much of his form at about 2m4f; some way off his best on last two starts, though, and blinkers worn once last winter weren't much help. |
