13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has won over 3m2f on soft at Kelso; sound reappearance run when third at Ayr in October (3m, good to soft); rather disappointing since; fell in this race two years ago; has a bit to prove. |

Chase record is 2-22; regressive this season but this drop back to Class 5 may prompt a turnaround; won at Ayr on last attempt in this grade. |

28th Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Revitalised by the cheekpieces last season, completing a quickfire heavy-ground hat-trick in March (getting the better on Camp Belan in the last of those), all at around 3m, but signed off the campaign on a low note; only 4lb higher than his most recent win but needs to have been freshened up from the break and the cheekpieces are missing here. |

10st 5lb |
Form figures of 2111 after the cheekpieces went on, showing a liking for 3m on soft or heavy ground; might be on a tough mark now (not even taking into account being 3lb out of the weights) and he ran no race last time at Carlisle. |

Returned from a break to win a novice handicap at Kelso last time (2m7f, good to soft; Toucan Sam 8l back in third but 9lb better off); up 5lb; chance. |

26th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Had jumping issues on both appearances in March and needs to put things right on that front here, but this return to a left-handed track ought to be in his favour and he's a big player in this uncompetitive race if judged on the form he showed when third three consecutive times (2m1f-3m) last autumn/winter. |

Veteran; has a good strike rate over fences, latest of nine wins coming at Kelso in December (3m2f, good to soft); not quite so good last time, but wouldn't rule out. |

A three-time chase winner at up to 3m2f last term for Stuart Coltherd and he comes here on the back of a couple of placed efforts in the pointing field in February; this veteran must enter calculations. |

Has won two of her last three races, both at Carlisle, over 3m2f in December (soft) and over 2m5f last month (soft); has gone up 9lb (4lb for latest win); should go well again although best efforts on stiff tracks (yet to win in four tries here). |

Off the mark over fences at Perth in May (3m, good to soft); may have needed the run when well beaten back over hurdles here last month (2m5f, soft); quite interesting. |

Kept on well to beat Euchan Falls over fences at Perth (3m, good to soft) last May, opening his account at the 15th attempt; only 3lb higher here but this return to hurdling comes after a 250-day absence. |

10st 12lb |
Irish point winner (soft ground); placed on good to soft in both a 2m novice hurdle and a 3m novices' handicap chase at Market Rasen; well beaten and pulled up in two further starts; still early days and not written off from a workable mark. |
16/1 |

21st May 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Eight-race rules maiden who needs to jump much better than when down the field at Ayr in February last time out; however, prior to that he was a fairly encouraging second on his chase and stable debut at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and he's not ruled out. |

Got off the mark over fences at Newcastle (2m7f) in November 2023 but he's been well below par since, cheekpieces retried when eighth over C&D last time; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

A fair 23f chase winner at his best but he's been pulled up on his last three outings, retried over hurdles at Newcastle on last occasion; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
