14yo; won this by a short head last year and went close at Hexham (3m, heavy) in April after some time off; faced tough task when well-beaten third of four at Kelso (2m7f, good) last Wednesday and he's a leading contender in this easier race. |

10st 8lb |
His mark continues to fall but this 7yo remains a maiden after 21 rules starts and recent evidence doesn't indicate a win is imminent. |

11st 2lb |
Made it 0-20 under rules when pulled up over fences at Ayr last week; however, before that he posted two fair runs over hurdles (2m5f/2m) and shaped as though he would benefit from this longer trip; well treated on last spring's chase form; could appreciate the return to hurdling; interesting. |

10st 13lb |
19-race maiden; placed in handicap, a couple of hunter chases and in two points last year; two fair runs over hurdles this term after wind surgery; well handicapped but others appeal more. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now but won here (3m2f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) in the autumn and was placed over C&D (good to soft) on last two appearances, more recently when keeping on to snatch modest second in higher-grade company; ought to make his presence felt again. |
7/1 |

2nd 7 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Veteran C&D winner who arrives in good nick, third of 14 over C&D last month; he can go well again off an unchanged mark. |
4/1 |

3rd 3 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Inconsistent 12yo who was well beaten at Kelso last time; however, two visits to Carlisle have yielded two wins (3m/3m2f, good/soft), the latest in November; firmly in calculations now back here. |
