12st 2lb |
14yo; won this by a short head last year and went close at Hexham (3m, heavy) in April after some time off; faced tough task when well-beaten third of four at Kelso (2m7f, good) last Wednesday and he's a leading contender in this easier race. |

4th Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Yet to win in 12 attempts over fences (and in 14 runs pointing) but fair second in a C&D handicap off this mark last time (good); each-way chance. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-16 under rules; on a handy mark based on 2023 form but hard to fancy judged on his recent form in points. |

28th May 2023 Good To Firm 3m 2f 39y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Added to his good tally in points with two wins this spring; close third to Shanroe Street at Perth, albeit beaten favourite, on the return to rules and now gets a 5lb pull with that rival; comfortably won this contest (on fast ground) 12 months ago and warrants respect back here. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
17th May 2023 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Won at Kelso last May; third in 3m Musselburgh hunter chase in March and has scored twice since in points, so looks the one to beat here. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fit from points when fair third of five in 2m2f Kelso hunter chase a week ago; this longer trip should suit, so he's no forlorn hope. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
10th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a bumper for Oliver Sherwood in 2018; has since run 23 times over hurdles/fences and in points without winning, although was a good second in a Musselburgh hunter chase in March (3m, good to soft). |
10/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
1st Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 170y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
His sole win came in a bumper back in 2018 and based on more recent evidence he would be a shock winner here. |
