21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Only won over fences and he made it 0-10 over hurdles when beaten 12l at Kelso a month ago; however, was running fairly well in this discipline before that and certainly has each-way claims. |
4/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Chase winner who is 0-9 over hurdles but he went close over C&D in May and has been placed at Bangor (2m) and Stratford (2m2f) in his last three starts; usually races prominently and has each-way claims again back up in trip. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Battled on well for second over C&D before a heavier defeat at Stratford, where again runner-up but beaten 11l; only 1-20 overall and vulnerable to horses on handier marks but one of the more solid contenders nonetheless. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Still seeking first win over fences (0-30); runner-up at Catterick (2m, soft; beaten 9l) over Christmas, but perhaps found the extended 2m3f (here) overstretching stamina reserves latest; first start for three months; others tick more of the required boxes. |

25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Still a maiden and has the weakest form claims in this field; consequently easy to oppose. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Modest at best and fell last time on second chase start, after a year off; hooded once (2023) and now tries cheekpieces; 3lb out of the handicap. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran well for a long way and seemed to have arrested his decline when fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month but was soundly beaten over that C&D 11 days ago and now has questions to answer again; drops back in trip with hood removed after one use. |
11/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Chase winner in early 2024; generally disappointing since returning from long absence this year but ran well for a long way before weakening into fourth in C&D (good) contest won by De Deli Counter last month and has possibilities if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won over fences in 2024 (2m1f, soft) but soundly beaten in a hurdle race and two chases since returning from long absence in February; very unexposed over this sort of trip but needs to turn a corner. |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
23-race maiden; beaten 24l over hurdles here on Saturday; pulled up at Catterick in February when last seen over fences; a long way out of the handicap and others stronger. |

24th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

16th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
17-race maiden; best effort since a lengthy absence was when second, trying to make all, at Kelso (2m1f, soft) in March; a repeat of that would give him a chance but recent form has been below par and he has it to prove over this far. |

Best effort this season when second at Kelso (2m1f, soft) two starts ago; only a modest fourth in lower grade since, taking record to 0-16; others have stronger claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |

Won this race off a 4lb lower mark last season (Hawkseye View third); mixed form this season, but the drier ground will suit and has an each-way chance. |
