11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Negotiated these fences safely in the 2m5f Topham one year ago, albeit fading into 12th; a strong-staying display to win at Cheltenham (near 3m4f, soft; 5lb higher today) in November hints at untapped potential over long distances. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has won four chases, the latest off 1lb lower at Hexham last June (1m7f, good); good second following a break at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good); should go well again. |
5/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Hexham (2m, good; in added blinkers) last June; that was in a lower-grade contest (Class 4) and his productivity ebbed away thereafter (0-5; hurdles and fences); bit to prove off a 190-day absence; likely to draw benefit from this comeback run. |

19th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive novice who was suited by the return to a left-handed track when winning at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last month; also effective on soft/heavy; this is a tougher test of his credentials than last time but he's up just 2lb and could continue to improve for last year's winning yard. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
2024 Pertemps Final winner but that was off 8lb lower; contested two Grade 1s last spring, before a wind operation (his second) and heavy defeat when returned to fences three months ago (easily his worst chase performance); Freddie Keighley takes off 7lb on this return to a handicap. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |

Creditable fifth to Gwennie May Boy on this card last year, having won the Pertemps Final (3m, soft) the time before; creditable second in Grade 2 contests the last twice but this is harder; well beaten in this race in 2023. |

3rd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Low-mileage Irish raider who held on well for hard-fought C&D win (soft) on last month's chasing debut; contests a stronger race today but has very obvious scope for further progress. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up on final hurdle run last September (had blood in both nostrils post-race); however, this very lightly raced 5yo impressed in a novice hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) last February and could be a major force if tapping back into that promise on his chase debut; betting may be informative. |

3rd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Just 1-9 over hurdles but bounced back quickly from a disappointing December run when close second in competitive handicap here (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day and will pose a threat if able to transfer that form to fences at the first attempt; first-time tongue-tie. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Won at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) last November when back from a break and has run well in defeat on his four starts since, most recently at Down Royal (3m, yielding) in May; can go well fresh and could be a player. |
