11st 9lb |
All three chase wins have been on this course but over 2m4f; 1m7f would have been too sharp on last month's return from a break but he could be vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't really fire when upped to 3m and fitted with cheekpieces (retained) at Market Rasen in July but remains lightly raced and is a contender if judged on his close second at Hexham (2m4f, good) two starts ago. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Low-mileage 7yo who bettered his low-key chase/handicap debut when close second to Backbyjet at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month; moves up in trip with cheekpieces added today; should still have more to offer. |

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 |

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. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Returned from long absence with a promising stable debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, when he travelled strongly for a long way, and he was unlucky to be brought down fairly early on at Hexham this month; remains well handicapped on old form; might be the answer. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Ex-Nigel Hawke; fair fifth after a long break on stable debut at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good to soft; 3-1); should come on for that; one with a chance. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Logged a third chase win this year when keeping on well at Newton Abbot last month (3m2f, good); at least one race per month since November speaks to his resilience, but it's noticeable that he's been kept to sharp tracks since pulling up at Exeter eight months ago. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Suffered dip in form after pair of 3m1f Hereford wins towards end of last season but seemed to run well when third of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good; headgear switched) a fortnight ago and is now 2lb below his last winning mark; enters calculations. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Second veteran runner for northern yard; winner over 3m1f here but that was in 2020; lightly raced and poor form in recent years; they say Darragh O'Keeffe is game enough to ride anything, and here's the proof. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who has been lightly raced and out of form in recent years; returned from latest layoff with low-key hurdle run in April; considered only if lively in the betting before this return to chasing. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Six wins split between hurdling and chasing but last success was in 2020 and this veteran was out of sorts in only two runs last year; has lots to prove back over hurdles after 304 days off. |

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. |

26th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
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. |
