13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C&D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here. |

Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over fences at Sedgefield last autumn and kept on for creditable second of 12 behind Ocean Legacy when back over hurdles there (3m3f, good to soft) in February; absent since disappointing C&D run in March but resumes on a workable mark. |

Off the mark at 20th attempt over fences when winning here in May (3m, good); decent fourth next time (3m, good); place chance. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Took advantage of a final-fence error from The Clonmel Kid to get off the mark over fences at the 20th attempt over C&D (good; 10-1) 18 days ago; effectively 6lb higher from out of the weights today and her task is tougher; others preferred. |

0-19 over fences and has struggled in her last two starts, both over C&D; being 9lb wrong in the handicap doesn't help. |

Late-blooming veteran who is best known as a Cartmel specialist; drew clear to win by 3m5f there (good ground) last spring but signed off in the autumn with two disappointing runs and remains on a fairly tough mark. |

A three-time chase winner at up to 3m2f last term for Stuart Coltherd and he comes here on the back of a couple of placed efforts in the pointing field in February; this veteran must enter calculations. |

All five wins have been on good ground, so the weather needs watching, but he also had that when pulled up over fences last time; on a useful mark if putting his best foot forward back over hurdles. |

11st 10lb |
Scored over fences in December 2024 but pulled up in that sphere in three consecutive races this year; resumed over hurdles last month with two solid efforts when third twice at this track, once over today's distance in a visor (retained); races prominently but needs his natural enthusiasm to be harnessed. |

After three successive pull-ups over fences he got back on track when close up in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Monday when in a first-time visor; if turned out again he'd command a level of respect. |

Not seen under rules since pulled up over C&D 11 months ago; a dual winner in the pointing field in 2025 however so this one-time fair winning 3m chaser can't be dismissed. |
