7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won three over fences in 2023; has yet to rediscover his form this term after an absence of 25 months but Brian Hughes rides for the first time. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Goes back over fences for the first time since winning at Hexham (1m7f, heavy) in November 2023, one of three chase victories that year; however, he's been well below his best over hurdles on his two runs this winter, following a long absence, and has lots to prove regarding current form. |

Winless over fences but he wasn't disgraced when fourth of seven in C&D handicap 24 days ago; possibilities off a 3lb lower mark. |

He's just 1lb higher than when winning at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in October and he has form at up to 3m; however, below his best on his last three starts and was pulled up at Carlisle a fortnight ago. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Returned from layoff with two good efforts over fences last autumn but the rest of last season's chasing form was disappointing; now hurdling for first time since 2023; on good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but needs to have refreshed by latest break. |

31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from break with two good seconds in the autumn (2m/2m1f), but has lost his way a bit since and is unraced on ground quicker than good to soft (withdrawn from a recent engagement with good deemed unsuitable). |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Continues to slide in the weights, now 10lb below his last winning mark (2m4f, Hexham); Kelso fourth (2m5f; in first-time blinkers) was okay but his latest Hexham effort (2m) was a poor one; plenty to prove, particularly over 3m. |
12/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Successful over 2m4f here nearly a year ago but has struggled to recapture that form since; shaped with a little more promise when fading into fourth over 2m5f at Kelso last month, but he'll need to build on that and this drop back to 2m may not play to his strengths. |
20/1 |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Won four-runner handicap at Hexham last June (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); disappointing since; needs first-time blinkers to bring about significant improvement. |

17th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 2f 191y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Maiden hurdle winner who landed heavy-ground handicap chase at Leicester in December; however, she looks outclassed in today's company. |
100/1 |

3rd 3 |
10th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Opened chasing account at third attempt, making all in three-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) last month; the value of that form is open to question (odds-on favourite disappointed) but she's still on a workable mark if judged on hurdling form and still has low mileage. |
7/4 |
