14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Hexham (2m4f, good) last September off 5lb higher mark; ran respectably, having been given a break since pulling up over fences in March, when fifth of seven at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month when leading from the front and headed only approaching the last flight; weighted to win but is hard to predict. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful in his prime and proved he retains a significant chunk of ability when causing 40-1 surprise over C&D (good) in September; quickly back in the doldrums since, though, and it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood today. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |

4-7 for this yard, the latest win coming at Kelso in May; fair third at Hexham the following month and softening ground will suit this thorough stayer well (all four wins on good to soft/soft); live player. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |

Won twice here in 2023; respectable efforts this year but not as good as he was; 10lb out of the weights. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual course winner in 2023; kept on for fourth over C&D (good to soft; also suited by soft/heavy) in May and subsequent Hexham second was also very respectable but he's no longer the force of old. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
C&D winner in 2023; well below best form over the last year or so but at least took a step back in right direction when keeping-on fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) ten days ago. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over hurdles (2m4f/3m) but he's 0-5 on the Flat; plugged on for a modest fourth in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) 22 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this return to handicap company. |

A dual winner over hurdles in 2023 (2m4f/3m); struggled over hurdles/Flat since returning from a lengthy absence; beaten 13l when seventh of nine at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in July and now drops back in trip. |

24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from layoff with low-key run in February but was placed twice under Leah Noreci here last summer (3m1f/2m6f) and seems very versatile regarding ground; can't be ignored. |

Verdict
Our Sam just got the better of SHANTOU SUNSET over C&D three weeks ago but the mare is slightly better off at the weights this time and may be better suited by today’s slower ground. Hoganville is unlikely to be far away either, while Fabuleux Du Clos remains very unexposed over this sort of trip.[Chris Wilson]
