24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Pulled up two runs ago but solid efforts in defeat on either side of that and he's an assured stayer at this trip; the blinkers are new, as were the cheekpieces when third at Kelso last month. |

3rd 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Strong stayer who was 6lb out of the weights when runner-up in the Scottish Borders National here in December; off the same mark for this but has to bounce back from a pretty poor run at Bangor; cheekpieces added. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-20 over fences and although he finished second here (4m) in March, he has run below that since at Carlisle and back over hurdles at Perth; requires an extreme test to be seen at his best. |
33/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both hurdle wins came over 3m/3m1f on soft back in 2022; fair second in a 4m h'cap chase at Hexham last month (soft), but not so good last time. |
16/1 |

5th 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on second (no threat to winner) at Hexham (4m, soft) last month and is also well suited by this track but is far too inconsistent to rely upon and would appeal more on soft/heavy ground. |

16th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Thorough stayer who made all to win by 14l over C&D (soft) three weeks ago and is now 7-39 over fences; this is more competitive than the races he's used to contesting, though, and he probably doesn't have much margin for error after recent 5lb rise. |

25th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Prominent racer who won at Hexham in December (3m, heavy) and at Catterick in January (3m1f, soft); stiffer task here but visor back on; should go well again. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); back on a good mark now but suffered dip in form after his winning seasonal debut at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in October and fell when last in action. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has a good record fresh, winning first time after a summer break for last two seasons; won over 3m off this at Ayr in October but not quite at his best since; close fourth of five to Breeze Of Wind in this race 12 months ago. |
