9th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October and has run well in second the next twice (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good); he's fine at this trip (and on a variety of ground) and was effective here over hurdles; can make another bold bid. |
4/1 |

8th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Winning hurdler who has taken well to fences, beating Caithness by a head over C&D on debut last month before fair second off this 4lb higher mark at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); should go well again. |

11st 12lb |
It was only his second run over fences but he jumped well when pulling clear with the favourite at Wetherby (1m7f, good to soft) and a 6lb rise seems fair; good chance. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Triple chase winner including over C&D but he's been beaten 35l in both runs since returning from an absence in May; has something to prove and he needs a major revival. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Dual course winner (2m), who sits 5lb below his last winning mark; finished a remote third to Conquer The Breeze here latest, so it's difficult to work out how he goes about making up such a deficit, even acknowledging more favourable terms. |

Useful handicapper for Dan Skelton but looks regressive judged on his recent pointing exploits. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ended a two-year losing run with a strong late surge at Market Rasen (2m, good; last two hurdles omitted) last month in a first-time hood; nudged up only 1lb and likely to be involved again if reproducing that effort. |
4/1 |

1st 4 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
No win since January 2024; consistent (43322) last autumn/winter; tried to make all at Kelso (2m, good) 19 days ago but faded from the second-last, finishing over 15l fourth to the subsequent Perth winner Scots Poet; 3lb lower, with headgear added. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence but she arrives in good nick, ridden aggressively when fifth in 2m Warwick handicap in March; she can make her presence felt after a break. |
