14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Has a record of 2-4 this term but gained the second success in one of the weaker Pertemps qualifiers and faces a stiffer task off 6lb higher in this field; possibly unsuited by Windsor most recently. |
16/1 |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Largely progressive northern raider; won going away in Pertemps qualifier at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) most recently, taking record this term to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; ventures south with respectable claims. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Lightly raced for his age; beaten a head by Ginger Mail over 2m4f here (soft) in January and he was a good fifth at Kelso on his final start last term; unexposed over 3m+ and gets weight all round; commands major respect. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
These cheekpieces and a switch to prominent tactics have prompted good performances at Ayr (2m4f, soft) on his last two starts, finishing second then first; he's won three times here in the past (including on good to soft) and might be thereabouts. |
9/1 |

1st 3 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Third in this last year (heavy) and achieved his best result of this season when 6l second to Diamond Geezer in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over C&D (soft) last month; could be thereabouts. |
10/1 |

2nd 3 |
29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, including three over 2m5f at Kelso (good to soft/soft); disappointing start to chasing career in the autumn but he ran respectably back over hurdles at Kelso (extended 2m6f) last month; now back on last winning mark and he could be dangerous on this drop back in trip; cheekpieces added. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Off since recording a good second in 2m4f Ayr handicap chase in March but he has run well off a break so can't be discounted; visor goes back on too. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Posted a good fourth over C&D in January, but fell heavily back here 24 days ago; ought to be thereabouts in his bid for a first victory in this sphere. |

11st 11lb |
Two hurdle wins, at 2m2f and 2m1f, and has form over 2m6f; below best under conditions that should have suited in March and rather hard to know what to expect now sent over fences with tongue-tie left off. |

20th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and he didn't run badly when fifth of eight at Kelso (2m6f, soft) last month; one to watch in the betting but this 11yo needs to raise his game to return to winning ways. |
16/1 |

16th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won a Cartmel handicap (2m6f, good; wore cheekpieces) off this mark last July; in with a chance when taking a heavy fall two out here (3m2f, good) in September but he's not fired in his last two runs; has something to prove again and he's ideally suited by quicker ground. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Hexham (2m4f, good) last September off 5lb higher mark; ran respectably, having been given a break since pulling up over fences in March, when fifth of seven at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month when leading from the front and headed only approaching the last flight; weighted to win but is hard to predict. |
12/1 |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful in his prime and proved he retains a significant chunk of ability when causing 40-1 surprise over C&D (good) in September; quickly back in the doldrums since, though, and it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood today. |

15th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Improved to make winning handicap debut here (2m5f, good to soft) in November 2022 but was not seen again until two disappointing runs this winter (2m4f/2m6f); still has low mileage but needs to get career back on track. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Following a two-month break and a spell in the doldrums this 10yo returned to form when third of 13 at Ayr (3m, soft) a fortnight ago; this C&D winner could be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |
9/1 |

3rd 12 |
29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two-time hurdle winner who is 5lb lower than when winning over fences here last March; however, this 10yo has been unable to threaten across his five starts since, back over hurdles on the last two occasions. |
33/1 |
