30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
12yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he ran his best race for some time when fourth at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) in November and when seventh at Ayr last time he was back up in grade; his mark continues to fall and this front-runner, who has won here, could make a bold bid. |

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 |

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. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Goes well here and won over the extended 2m6f (good to soft) just after Christmas; ridden less prominently when only sixth of ten at Haydock next time; may bounce back, although he remains on a career-high mark. |

His form can be in and out but he's been progressive among the blips and was back on song when winning at Kelso (extended 2m6f, good to soft) 19 days ago; this trip may be within range and has a chance for in-form yard. |

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. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now but looked as good as ever last year and was very respectable third over C&D (soft) in December; needs to rebound from a below-par run here on New Year's Day but recent 2lb drop helps, and he has gone well for 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop before. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Doesn't have many miles on the clock for a veteran (2-26) and was just ahead of Evenwood Sonofagun and Dalileo when all three were no match for an improver over C&D 17 days ago; can run well again with 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop retaining the ride. |

Pulled up over fences on all three outings last year; showed some of his old zest when back over hurdles at Ayr (3m, good) last month but was on the retreat before falling at third-last flight; others preferred. |
