17th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Returned from layoff with comfortable win at Worcester (2m7f, good) last June and made the frame on his next three outings (twice over C&D); returns from latest absence on career-high mark but good 3lb claimer Joe Anderson is enlisted; no surprise if he features. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 2 |

Returned from break with a win at Worcester (2m7f, good) in June and he's been a fair fourth off this 7lb higher mark at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft/good) the last twice; has won here and could be thereabouts. |

0-4 over fences but now 4lb lower than when clear second on chasing debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) in October and certainly didn't run badly when fifth at Doncaster (2m3f, good) last month; drops in grade today; must be considered. |

10st 12lb |
Four-time winner here, two over C&D on good ground (handles soft); undoubtedly on a dangerous mark but latest two efforts have been underwhelming and he needs to turn things around; safer to look elsewhere on recent form. |

Four of his seven wins have been at Hexham; latest win (May 2024) was over this C&D (good to soft) when 13lb higher; mainly disappointing since then, but on a good mark now. |

13th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good with clearcut win at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) in June and was very close second in quite valuable contest at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; good claims if judged on that evidence but needs to bounce back from a poor run a fortnight ago. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has failed to show peak form since returning from long layoff but has done enough to suggest he's interesting off current mark dropped in grade and belatedly returned to Musselburgh; dual course winner as a youngster. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
No win since his juvenile campaign; long absence prior to two efforts this term, seeming to need July run then faring better in October; still needs to prove he retains peak ability but market support should be noted. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Won three races in his first season over hurdles; not scored since, although fair second in a Perth handicap in September 2023 (2m, soft); had a long break after that and was well beaten on his return; should fare better this time. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting. |

Two novice wins but beaten favourite on handicap debut in June; all hurdle form over 2m but won an Irish point and the handicap defeat suggested he may need a step up in trip; live claims if that's the case. |

Irish point winner; had little to beat at Kelso last month (2m, good to firm) but his earlier hurdle win has some merit (two subsequent winners behind); opening mark looks reasonable and not hard to envisage him adding another success. |
