11st 2lb |
All wins on good/good to soft (2m-2m5f); won at Musselburgh in November (2m); pulled up on soft ground in January but posted a better effort back on a more suitable surface when third to a 20l winner here (2m5f, good) this month after a four-month break; should be all the sharper for that and he's back on a good mark; each-way claims. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who gained four of his 14 wins here (one over C&D); ran much better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest on slower-than-ideal ground at Cartmel (2m1f good to soft) a fortnight ago; worth a second look here, even from 4lb out of the weights. |

Veteran with three C&D wins and seven other chase victories on his CV; lurks on a dangerous mark but has been out of form this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and the ground may turn against him today. |

Gained all three wins at Musselburgh but his C&D third in May was a fairly good effort and he also ran quite well at Market Rasen in June; slightly out of the weights today but won't mind what the weather does; likely contender. |

Two fair efforts since being stepped up to 3m on last two starts, last time finishing nearly 8l fourth over C&D to stable companion Castletown (6lb worse off); each-way chance. |

6th Jul 2023 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Chase wins over 2m here and 2m4f at Newcastle; this longer trip wasn't an issue when runner-up at Hexham (good) a month ago and he may have more to offer as a stayer. |

Collected two small-field chase wins last season, the latter off today's mark at Newcastle (2m4f, good) in November; comes here after respectable fourth at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; a possible if suited by today's step up in trip. |

11st 0lb |
Safely held in handicap hurdles (2m4f-2m6f) on first three starts for Gordon Elliott but wasn't beaten far when fifth here (2m4f, good) on recent chasing debut and might build on that performance now back over hurdles and tried over 3m. |

18th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Some early promise over hurdles but she's struggled in handicaps in that sphere and was pulled up at Down Royal (2m4f) in March; has not been with Gordon Elliott for long and this return to quicker ground could help but she needs a major revival on this switch to fences. |

Won C&D handicap (good) last September but her form cooled during the winter and she was pulled up at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) on her return last month; chase record now stands at 1-9 and she needs to turn things around; cheekpieces added. |

Won a handicap at Perth (2m4f, good) last September and she went very close at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) next time but her form has cooled in last two runs; chase record now stands at 1-8 and she needs to get back near her best after a break. |

Won three in a row over fences (2m1f/2m4f) towards the end on 2021 but he's drawn a blank since; on reduced mark and wasn't beaten far at Kelso last month but he has a very mixed record in last six starts and others are more convincing. |

Point winner who is lightly raced and is one to watch in the betting on his second run back from a break; however, he was well beaten at 28-1 at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last time on his chase and handicap debut, and needs to leave that performance well behind. |

Both wins over fences, the most recent at Ayr (3m, soft; 14-1) in November; pulled up twice since, with no obvious explanation; reverts to hurdles for the first time since November 2022 seeking a much needed revival. |
