16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
12yo; won at Hexham (2m4f, good) in June and third there in August (2m4f, good); mistakes may have been costly when tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good) latest and he's not written off, but others are more compelling. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and has continued in good form, finishing second on his last two starts (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); very solid claims. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Record of 212 since switched back to hurdles from chasing, the win at Wetherby (2m, soft) in first-time cheekpieces; Musselburgh effort (1m7f, good to soft) last time resulted in a career-best RPR; should go well in the retained headgear. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both his wins have been over 1m7f at Catterick, the latest off this mark in February 2024 (soft); several fair efforts since, including after a 325-day break last time; each-way chance. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ended last season with a course win (2m1f, soft) and will be fine over today's longer trip but has been badly out of form this term and seems best suited by soft ground. |

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. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-5 over fences and 0-24 overall but has posted two pretty good efforts to finish third in a visor this month, latterly at Perth (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; major player if judged on that evidence. |

15th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

soon raced in second, not fluent 4 out, pressed leader 3 out, lost ground approaching last, lost second inside final 110yds |

15th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Ex-Irish, longstanding maiden who fared better at Sedgefield last Friday (first-time visor; has worn cheekpieces) despite again not jumping well; this mark should be within range when she puts in a decent round. |

25th May 2024 Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Struggled on heavy ground last time but opened chasing account with clearcut success at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft; also suited by good) two starts ago and is still quite lightly raced for his age; could have a say. |
10/1 |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
10yo who is lightly raced for his age and travelled well to win by 3l at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft); he's 6lb higher against much tougher opponents today, but he looked promising earlier in his career and is not discounted. |
13/2 |
Verdict
Chase A Fortune and Coolkill (preferred in that order) both arrive in good form but last year’s winner DUTY CALLS is probably better equipped than those to cope with today’s ground, and he confirmed he’s in good nick when collecting another C&D win last month.[Chris Wilson]
