28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A fair 19f hurdles/chase winner last autumn who comes here on the back of a solid third of seven in 21f handicap chase at Market Rasen two weeks ago; shortlisted with tongue-tie refitted. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Sits 4lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) last November, a form line given a boost by Neigh Botha at Southwell on Tuesday; turned in a solid effort on return to jumps action at Stratford (third) a fortnight ago and could have more to offer; probable contender. |

3rd 4 |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won over hurdles and fences last season and probably still on a fair mark; however, two tailed-off runs on the Flat since April cast some doubts over his wellbeing. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Much more exposed than some of these but runs this track very well and went down only narrowly to Summergrounds over C&D (good) four weeks ago; probably won't be far away. |
7/1 |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Three-time hurdle winner on good ground and ran an encouraging race on soft last time at Catterick (2m3f); interesting off this low a mark. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Did not get competitive at Market Rasen this month, after a break, but was placed off a 7lb higher mark there (2m2f, good) in the autumn and has possibilities if that recent run brought him on. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

AW Flat winner (1m6f); has yet to win over hurdles but made the frame on good ground here in September and had to deal with softer conditions since. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Gave it a pretty good shot from the front before weakening into fourth here (2m2f, good) in September but is 0-8 over hurdles now and has fitness to prove after 251-day absence. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Patchy form last August-October and this is her first run since; however, she may be better around this time of the year than she is in the autumn and she won after a similar absence last June; not ruled out. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

All three wins at Market Rasen; beaten 5l into fifth at Sedgefield two weeks ago and probably needs more here. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

A dual 2m scorer at Market Rasen in June but she was well below par when sixth of ten in 2m2f Kelso handicap three weeks ago; she needs to get back on track. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Has placed form but he's 0-16 under rules (12 defeats over hurdles) and latest run wasn't his best; now goes in cheekpieces. |

6th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fell at first flight at Doncaster a fortnight ago and now 0-11 over hurdles, but shaped well when third at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and that performance makes him a player here. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who returned from a break with two good-ground wins (2m/2m3f) in June/July; gave another solid account when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month but he didn't fire at Plumpton last time and others are more persuasive. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Resurgent veteran who returned from a break with two good-ground wins in June/July (2m/2m3f); gave another good account when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month but may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |
10/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Veteran who was well below par last time; solid record (112) otherwise this term includes a C&D win (good) in July; may rebound, albeit has more on his plate off current mark. |

Point winner who is one to watch in the betting off a lowly mark on her chase debut; however, she's been struggling over hurdles this year and needs to raise her game in a big way. |

Pulled up in his only attempts at chasing the last twice; five-time winning hurdler who's not on an impossible mark but would prefer softer ground. |

25th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Gained three of his five hurdle wins at this track (2m4f/2m7f) but looked out of sorts and was pulled up here (2m4f, good to soft) on recent chasing debut; should be fine over today's trip but needs to rebound. |
