Kept on well for second behind Lunar Discovery at Hexham (good to soft) last May and also displayed clear promise when fourth behind Chosen Hero at Wetherby (soft) last month; each-way claims at least. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Below best over C&D (good to firm) last month but could improve for that first outing in two months; he's a three-time winner at Kelso, the latest over C&D (good) in May; no surprise if he plays a leading role. |

Pulled up/well beaten at Cartmel on his two starts this summer but he won over this C&D (good) in May to further enhance his good record at Kelso; he's just 1lb above that last winning mark and could go well. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time chase winner on good ground this year (2m7f-3m1f); current mark is probably not beyond him but he needs to bounce back from two lesser efforts last month. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four good-ground chase wins this year, the latest from the front at Worcester (2m7f) last month; didn't fire at Perth a fortnight ago, though, and needs to kick on again to overcome this mark. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Made all for clearcut success at Worcester (2m7f,) last month and has now won four good-ground chases this year; should also be suited by this right-handed track but latest 6lb rise might leave him vulnerable. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won four in a row over fences earlier this year (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft/good) before being pulled up at Ayr in April when reportedly unsuited by the soft ground; needs to transfer his improvement back to hurdles but he runs off his last winning chase mark; could go well if handling conditions. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Prominent racer who made it 4-4 for 2026 (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft/good) at Carlisle last month; won by 3l last time and a 7lb rise may not stop this thriving 8yo, provided the forecast soft ground isn't an issue. |
4/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Improving chaser who has won his last three, the first two at 2m4f/2m3f but last time coping fine with the sharper test of 1m7f around Catterick (good); up in grade here with a 7lb rise to deal with but he's got major momentum behind him. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Soundly beaten trying 3m on penultimate outing; best form on starts either side when taking minor handicap honours at Wetherby (2m4f, soft) and Kelso (extended 2m6f, heavy) and those give him place claims. |
5/1 |

3rd 7 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Weakened into well-beaten fourth at Doncaster (3m, soft) three weeks ago; however, prior to that he kept on well for a much closer fourth on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) and today's in-between trip could suit. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Two hurdle wins last season, the latter over C&D (good ground; soft also fine) when upped in trip in April; still unexposed as a stayer but was safely held on last two appearances and returns here with a point to prove. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Two hurdles wins last season, the latter when upped to 2m7f at Bangor (good) in April; still unexposed over this sort of trip but was tailed off when dropped back to 2m4f last month; hard to predict. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Completed a double, five months apart, when successful at Bangor (2m7f, good) in April; this is tougher off 7lb higher but may have more to offer in search of a three-timer. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-8 over hurdles; placed off today's mark at Ayr (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in February but pulled up both runs either side; not yet proven over 3m or on good ground; tricky to predict on chase debut. |

Made the frame last spring in first two handicaps (2m4f, good to soft/soft) and returned to form when third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) here (2m4f, soft) last month; there's stamina in his pedigree and today's step up in trip could eke out some improvement. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has taken well to fences, winning by 11l here on his chase debut (good) before finishing a clear second (again over C&D) last time; went up 9lb for his win and another 4lb for latest run but is one with a chance. |
11/4 |

2nd 7 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Returned from break with career-best performance this month, drawing clear to win by 11l over C&D (good) on chasing debut; 9lb higher in a higher-grade race today but could easily have more to offer over fences. |
7/2 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two in a row over hurdles in October (2m5f/2m4f, good; including here) and ran pretty well when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November; unsuited by soft ground when below par at Musselburgh in December; could have a part to play if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Has a tremendous record around here with five wins (four over today's distance); scored at Worcester (2m4f, good) when making all in July and must be feared despite requiring a career-best. |

1st 3 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Last five wins have all been gained over 2m4f, but three defeats since May's latest Uttoxeter success (her fifth there) have taken her score to 0-4 racing off marks in the 120s; rivalry for early lead. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
6-16 over hurdles, her latest success being at Uttoxeter in May (2m4f, good); one of her best runs was when 2l second to Fiveonefive in this race last year, but she is now 6lb worse off with the winner. |
