24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won over C&D off a 6lb higher mark in September (good); has not fared quite as well since, although more encouraging run when 13l third of seven over 2m1f here last time (good); step back up in trip will suit. |

Won over 2m5f here following a 163-day break last September (good) but rather disappointing since; on a good mark now, but a bit to prove. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Following a two-month break and a spell in the doldrums this 10yo returned to form when third of 13 at Ayr (3m, soft) a fortnight ago; this C&D winner could be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

Two-time hurdle winner who is 5lb lower than when winning over fences here last March; however, this 10yo has been unable to threaten across his five starts since, back over hurdles on the last two occasions. |

He's just 1lb higher than when winning at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in October and he has form at up to 3m; however, below his best on his last three starts and was pulled up at Carlisle a fortnight ago. |

12st 0lb |
Won at Kelso (2m5f, good) last September and followed up over this C&D (soft); hint of spark at Kelso last time and he's back down to his last winning mark, but has to take another step back in the right direction. |

11st 5lb |
Second in this race last year and three of his seven chase wins have been at this venue; did little on last three starts, the latest back over fences here when 33-1 after 161-day break, so there are mixed messages. |

Not one to rely on and his recent form over fences is far from encouraging; handily weighted though if back on his A-game reverted to this sphere. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Veteran; strike-rate of just 2-37 over fences and hard to fancy having been soundly beaten on last three starts. |

4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Took this 12 months ago but he arrives on the back of a poor ninth in 3m Hexham handicap chase 19 days ago; blinkers replace visor now with something to prove. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since below-par run in December but returned from break with creditable second at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft; stays much further) in November and won when fresh last spring; has travelled from Northumberland for this race and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester in May; absolute shocker at Warwick (also 2m4f, good) 29 days again, though, beaten 62l with no obvious excuses. |

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; did it well last time and a 4lb rise may not stop him. |

26th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who is lightly raced; his Irish hurdles win was at 2m3f on heavy; chase win at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December on stable debut and ran respectably here (2m1f, soft) next time, but his step back up to 2m4f at Carlisle on latest start was disappointing. |
