10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Standing dish here with all five career wins having come at the venue and on slow ground, including over this trip; produced one of his better efforts when second here last Boxing Day but not as good since; back on a very handy mark and can go well. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time course winner (2m3f/2m5f) who was second here on Boxing Day and has had excuses on both starts since, namely the 3m2f trip here then a different course (Market Rasen); could play a leading role back here. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
All five wins over fences have been at Sedgefield; didn't appear to get home there over 3m2f (good to soft) when seventh of nine finishers last month but best to wait until he returns to his favourite venue at a more suitable trip. |

Course winner in 2022 and 2023 at up to an extended 2m3f (soft); weighted to strike again at present, but goes 3f further than ever before today without shaping of late as in urgent need of a stayers' trip. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1-24 over fences, the win for a different stable at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last May; ran well when second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) in February but was below that form when back at Hexham last month and is not the percentage call here. |

25th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Has a poor strike-rate but his sole win came over C&D (good to soft) last May and, following wind surgery, he returned to form with a close second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) last month; he's one to consider. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |

Ex-Oliver Greenall; wasn't in the best of form when last seen out (on unsuitable soft ground) late last year; can do better on this ground particularly as 14lb lower than for last win (2m4f on good to firm at Ludlow in 2022). |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Just held on to win over C&D (good) in March 2022 but has run to form on only one of four subsequent appearances; struggled (albeit over 2m3f) on recent seasonal debut and may not be ideally suited by the forecast heavy ground here; others preferred. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Improved for cheekpieces last season, winning his last two races, both on soft ground at Market Rasen (2m3f/2m1f) in February/March; not hit form so far this season, but on his last winning mark and stable going better now. |

A longstanding maiden until bagging two soft-ground handicap chases at Market Rasen (extended 2m3f and 2m2f) last February/March; pulled up there six weeks ago when back from eight months off but a return to peak efforts would put him in the mix. |
