11st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner, over 2m and 2m3f; last to finish when third over 2m3f here 21 days ago and this represents a significant hike in trip. |

11st 2lb |
Early exit here last time made it two non-completions from five chase attempts; successful over C&D in December but that Class 5 race fell apart and only two finished. |

11st 13lb |
Comfortably beat Valirann Gold over C&D just before Christmas after being left clear three out; never really threatened to follow up off a 7lb higher mark at Wincanton but that was a Class 4; tongue-tie now added; respected. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has lost his form since a productive spell last winter, most recently failing to beat a rival over 2m5f at Sedgefield; however, has a record over 121 over C&D and is back on last winning mark; possibilities provided a revival materialises. |

11st 11lb |
5-26; those wins gained at either Catterick (2m-2m4f) or Sedgefield (2m1f); went clear from the last, winning by over 4l, at Catterick in February (2m4f, soft; from 4lb lower), but ended the season on a slightly downbeat note in a 2m5f Kelso Class 2; back from a six-month break. |

10st 2lb |
Six-race maiden who has been beaten 40l or more in his four hurdle runs at up to 2m5f; now switches to a handicap but he's out of the weights and needs plenty of progress back up in trip. |

Very lightly raced 6yo who is related to winners and makes his handicap/stable debut off a basement mark; however, he showed very little over hurdles last spring and was pulled in a point-to-point in November. |
