11st 2lb |
Has rather mixed record since winning twice (2m7f/3m) for Sandy Thomson towards end of last season but ran big race before succumbing to Super Citizen at Carlisle (3m, good) a fortnight ago; a possible. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C&D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

3rd 10 |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden hurdle winner; 0-12 over fences but placed a good few times but took a backward step last time when beaten 45l at Fontwell (3m2f, good); first-time visor replaces cheekpieces with tongue-tie retained; has a bit to prove. |
12/1 |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won a maiden over hurdles but tailed off in his two handicaps and chasing is more his game these days; has been running well in that discipline, though, so couldn't put a line through him. |

6th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Minor honours on all three runs for new stable this July/September, over fences at 3m2f, 2m7f and 2m4f; cheekpieces were enlisted last time; should be seriously involved again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two good runs for new stable this summer, the latter when keeping-on second at Worcester (2m7f, good; also has form on soft) 23 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted; leading contender. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
His two wins over fences for Rose Dobbin were in 2022; down the weights and had some respectable runs last winter, before his £6,000 sale in May and another respectable show in fourth of 12 at Uttoxeter (favourite) on stable debut in July when it looked as if 3m2f stretched him; back down in trip and on the shortlist. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
10yo whose form has been mixed this season but he's edged back down the weights and his Newmarket yard is 3-6 here; capable of a big run. |
10/1 |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Most consistent win or lose over either obstacle for this stable until finding a brush hurdle series final at Worcester all too much last time (2m4f, good); swimming in calmer waters again on this return to fences, albeit still above any class he's ever won in. |
3/1 |
|

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Consistent over fences and hurdles for new stable this season, winning once under each discipline; suited by this C&D but may find less exposed rivals better handicapped today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful in his prime but last season's low-grade handicap form for Ben Haslam was uninspiring; made good start for new connections this month, winning Hexham conditions point (soft) by 9l, but this race is much tougher. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Twice a chase winner over 2m4f, including on heavy; a shadow of his former self these days and plummeting in the handicap; however, would be interesting if the market speaks in his favour. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 |
18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Very useful in his prime but has badly lost his way; long absence before his two runs (25-1) this winter; way down the weights and cheekpieces (last worn in March 2022) return, which may well be a positive; worth a check for strength in the betting. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3m chase winner on good last spring; last two efforts have been well below par but she is now well treated on form earlier in the season; bit to prove but no surprise if she bounces back. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 |
18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3m Ayr winner last March and runner-up twice over about 2m5f/2m4f in the autumn; needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kelso on latest outing and now has cheekpieces first time; more appeal than most. |
9/2 |
|
7th 9 |
14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in a row in the autumn (C&D/2m4f, good/soft) before fair fourth of five here (3m2f, soft), when not quite seeing out the trip; every chance she'll be in the mix now back down in distance. |

Won twice last season, including over 3m3f on soft, and creditable runner-up on the second of his three runs this autumn; off three months but thereabouts judged on those better efforts. |

16th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner (soft) just over a year ago and narrowly beat a hot favourite in a match at Catterick (3m1f, good) in February; was having his second start back from a lengthy absence when beaten 2l into second of eight behind Ballylinch back here (soft) last time; 2lb better off and shouldn't be far away again. |

2nd 3 |
22nd Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |

Fair effort when third in a 2m4f novice chase on this card last season (2m4f, good to soft); hasn't shown anything this year (ran out on second occasion); plenty to prove. |
