9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran; has won on soft ground, but seems best on good ground; fair second over C&D in October (good) but has been beaten more than 30l on his two subsequent starts. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Bagged a silver medal on penultimate start but has lacked consistency otherwise this term; the 12yo faces a stiffer task in this competitive field on return from a break. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was 17 months ago and he struggled at Kelso (2m5f, good) last month; now goes back up in trip but he's not easy to predict and others are preferred; regular visor removed. |

11st 12lb |
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 |
11st 13lb |
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. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
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. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
C&D record of 2-7 includes victory in this race in 2023 off 5lb higher (good); pulled up in last year's renewal, however, and other results last term offer scant optimism on this return from seven months off. |

10st 11lb |
Now 6lb lower than when winning at Wetherby (3m, good) in November but not really firing on all cylinders this spring, albeit he kept on to make the frame twice at Hexham this month (3m/2m4f); others preferred. |

prominent, not fluent 9th, hit 12th, not fluent and dropped to last 3 out, soon outpaced and detached, headway approaching last, went third run-in, no match for first two |

Began last season with win off 4lb higher at Wetherby (3m, good) in November but hasn't been in the same form again since, and was about 19l behind Lights Are Green and No Regrets when fifth over C&D last month. |

Ended a long losing over 2m5f here in May but he's twice failed to back it up, seventh at Cartmel (3m1f) following month; plenty more is required after a break. |

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. |

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. |
