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. |

11st 2lb |
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seconds in the autumn (2m/2m1f), but has lost his way a bit since and is unraced on ground quicker than good to soft (withdrawn from a recent engagement with good deemed unsuitable). |

20th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently twice over C&D in 2025 but he has struggled to reproduce that form; down the weights and latest 2l third over C&D on his return from a break was more encouraging, so he could figure if backing that up. |
8/1 |

3rd 10 |
2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Gained four of his five hurdle wins here (two over 2m4f); seemingly on the downgrade now but didn't run badly when fifth at Perth (3m, good) in early July and ought to be better suited by this shorter trip; returns from a break on a tempting mark; dangerous to ignore. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 |
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. |

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 |
