22nd Apr 2024 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Two wins over fences, the latest off a 6lb higher mark over C&D last May (good to soft); decent effort from out of the handicap when second at Wetherby last time (3m, soft; visor on instead of blinkers); same headgear here; a possible. |

28th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner; scored at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last May and is well treated on that form, but he's been pulled up or tailed off on all six starts since; a dramatic revival is required; first-time visor replaces blinkers. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
All three wins have been over C&D, including in this race last season; shaped as though returning to form when sixth at Bangor last time; back on his last winning mark; one to consider. |
14/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
All three hurdle wins have been on slow ground at Hexham (2m7f) and latest was in October; only 2lb higher than for that success but he's been well held in his last two starts; may have needed the run at Carlisle last month but this is competitive and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Goes well fresh for he has won twice after a break over 2m7f at Hexham this season (good to soft); these conditions suit; should go well after another absence despite rise in grade and being 1lb out of the handicap. |

Third in a point-to-point last month but this 12yo was pulled up when back under rules at Ayr (3m, soft) recently; 7lb out of the handicap and others are preferred. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
10/1 |

7th 1 |
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. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has become very unreliable but seemed to run well when third of four in tactical race at Kelso three weeks ago, and this dual C&D winner can't be ruled out off a career-low chase mark. |
7/2 |

28th May 2023 Good To Firm 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Doesn't look entirely solid on recent form but shaped better than the bare result at Hexham five days ago; gained both handicap wins off higher marks and receives plenty of weight all round in this field; possibilities if anywhere near best. |

0-19 over fences and has struggled in her last two starts, both over C&D; being 9lb wrong in the handicap doesn't help. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Point/hurdle winner but 0-18 over fences; good second in a four-runner mares' handicap chase at Catterick in February (3m1f, soft) but pulled up last time. |
12/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Yet to get her head in front over fences but she posted a good second of four in 3m1f Catterick handicap last month; both her hurdling wins came here too, so she's not out of things. |

Infrequent winner and his form has regressed in the last 18 months; had an excuse last time (saddle slipped) but still has enough to prove. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
19-race maiden; struggled to get competitive in a chase here six weeks ago, his only run for Paul Robson, and is 10lb out of the weights for today's stable debut; doesn't appear to have much going for him. |
25/1 |

6th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Unplaced all 13 hurdling starts for the Whillanses, pulled up when last seen a year ago; needs a big step forward on chase/stable debut. |
