15th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1-24 over fences, the win for a different stable at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last May; ran well when second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) in February but was below that form when back at Hexham last month and is not the percentage call here. |

Has a poor strike-rate but his sole win came over C&D (good to soft) last May and, following wind surgery, he returned to form with a close second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) last month; he's one to consider. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won in good style at Ayr (3m, soft) in January and he's also effective on good to soft ground; however, this 10yo has been pulled up/soundly beaten on his last two starts and needs to get back on track. |

Won this 12 months ago (good to soft) and only his third run in the meantime when well on top again here in early January (soft); 6lb rise elevates him to a career-high mark but he should still have every chance. |

10st 7lb |
Has won over fences but two disappointing runs after an absence included a heavy defeat behind Esperti and his struggles continued back over hurdles here last month; has dropped to a good mark but with questions to answer now. |
33/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten on stable debut in September but that came after a long absence and he's well handicapped on old form for Tim Easterby; gained both wins on good to soft ground but can handle soft; market may guide. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Won over fences at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) for Tim Easterby on Boxing Day 2023 and was still in good form when last seen in spring 2024; changed hands for £9,000 last summer; entitled to benefit from this outing. |

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. |

His last two wins have come here (including this race in 2023) and he was 8lb out of the handicap when back here last time; however, this 10yo has been pulled up on his last three starts and needs to turn things around. |

Fell six out here recently but he'd been badly hampered at the previous fence; he won over C&D in May 2022 (lightly raced since) and was a good third at Carlisle this February; could be a contender off a handy mark. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Posted some good efforts when cheekpieces were added towards the end of last season, perhaps most notably when second at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, and his run at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better than eventual 33l defeat suggests; one to consider. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

0-16 under rules but posted some pretty good efforts in cheekpieces towards end of last season, most recently when second from out of the weights at Kelso (2m4f, good) one month ago; can make his presence felt off correct mark here. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

All three hurdle wins have been on slow ground at Hexham (2m7f) and latest was in October; only 2lb higher than for that success but he's been well held in his last two starts; may have needed the run at Carlisle last month but this is competitive and others are preferred. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Goes well fresh for he has won twice after a break over 2m7f at Hexham this season (good to soft); these conditions suit; should go well after another absence despite rise in grade and being 1lb out of the handicap. |

Held on well to beat Top Of The Bay and Ribeye under Pippa Brown at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month and ran at least as well when close second at Sedgefield (2m3f, good) six days later but Kelso 11 days ago was a bit disappointing and, on balance, others look stronger. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
