30th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
10yo who was pulled up over fences last May following a long absence and well beaten over hurdles at Carlisle in November; however, he ran well for a long way at Carlisle, shaping as though he may have needed the outing, and this five-time chase winner is not ruled out now back over fences. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Solid record over fences for all that she's won only two of her 16 starts; another good effort in a 2m4f handicap at Carlisle 18 days ago but she faces a tough test at these weights. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Dual winner last season, the second over 2m5f here on soft ground off a 7lb lower mark; mainly creditable efforts this season, including when fourth over C&D last time (heavy; first-time tongue tie) when running as though needing the race; chance. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Won back-to-back handicap chases last season, the second one here (on soft); 9lb higher now and couldn't say that she's improved since; ran well last time though and perhaps a tongue-tie will help. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Useful chaser at his best but didn't fire on either start over fences this season and was unable to land a telling blow when back over hurdles last month; needs to turn a corner. |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 3 |

Two-time hurdle winner who scored over fences at Wetherby last March; however, this 10yo has been below par in chases on his two outings this season and a return to form is needed. |

30th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Had just two runs over hurdles, neither handicaps; found immediate improvement for going chasing with form figures of 124 in 2m4f-2m7f handicaps with give in the ground; has been absent 12 months and fences are no doubt on the agenda again sooner or later. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Unexposed and progressive chaser; off the mark at Ayr on chase debut in October (2m4f, good to soft) and fair run when second over 2m7f next time; stable going well and one to consider. |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Seen only twice again since winning handicap hurdle debut here (2m4f, good to soft) in November 2021 but bettered his very disappointing chase debut when second of four here (2m, heavy; no match for winner) last month and can make further progress over fences now back up in trip. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Well below best form last season but last week's sixth at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) was a good step back in the right direction; should be fine over today's longer trip and might be boosted by a change of headgear. |

Easy win at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) in January and got up late to follow up over this C&D (good to soft) last month, despite carrying his tail awkwardly; this 12yo could again be bang there if his good form continues. |
