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. |

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. |

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. |

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). |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner (including this race in 2024); good third to Halfway House over C&D in May, after a break, but pulled up after looking reluctant (not for the first time) at Hexham last month and comes with risk. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won off this mark (beat No Regrets by a neck) over C&D in May 2023; struggled last year, often pulling up, but gave an indication he's back in better shape when third to the in-form Halfway House Lad at Cartmel (3m1f, good; 20-1) a fortnight ago; worthy of inspection. |

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. |
20/1 |

7th 5 |
29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
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. |
