28th Dec 2024 Good 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
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. |
12/1 |

3rd 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has won four chases, including over C&D in May 2024 (good); best recent form has been at Musselburgh and he was below par over C&D last time (good). |
14/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
11yo whose losing run goes back 11 races to November 2024 but he ran pretty well off his lower hurdle mark at Musselburgh last month, following a break, and all four of his wins have come over fences (two of them here); not discounted back chasing. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
C&D record of 2-7 includes victory in this race in 2023 off 5lb higher (good); pulled up in last year's renewal, however, and other results last term offer scant optimism on this return from seven months off. |
25/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |

Has won off higher marks in the past but has regressed in four appearances this year; tried cheekpieces last time; others safer. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won this race on good ground under Becky Smith a year ago and defends his crown from a good mark but recent Flat/hurdling form has been underwhelming and conditions are not in his favour today. |
33/1 |

9th 10 (9) |
5th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Better known as a jumper and yet recent efforts in that scene haven't been great, and he was only midfield over C&D last month. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Stuck on a losing run and finished last in two hurdle races before finishing only sixth off his low Flat mark 13 days ago; others much preferred. |

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. |
