10st 2lb |
Won under Murray Dodd on his reappearance at Hexham (2m7f, soft) in October to add to his wins at Ayr and Kelso earlier this year; 2lb out of the handicap today and below par at Ayr last time, but perhaps the good ground wasn't ideal; has run really well on both visits here; in with a shout. |

Progressive when runner-up in handicaps on final three starts last season (2m3f/2m7f, heavy), pulling clear with a well-handicapped winner on the final occasion, and shaped as though he would improve for the run when 15l third on his reappearance at Hexham (2m7f, soft); one to consider. |

12st 0lb |
Jumped to the right and fell on chase debut at Ayr a fortnight ago; however, today's right-handed track could be a major plus for this unexposed point and novice hurdle winner, who retains potential for his good yard. |

Formerly a very useful hurdler/chaser; not quite so good these days but won two 3m handicap hurdles on good ground last summer; bit below par since; on a good mark and today's going will suit but better over further these days. |

Won three in a row prior to finishing second in this race last year (heavy), and he's 3lb lower 12 months on; however, he hasn't hit the same heights in 2024 and needs to raise his game. |

10st 6lb |
Bumped into two well-treated opponents when soundly beaten third at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) in October and good second there (2m3f, soft) last time; hasn't convinced over staying trips in the past but has hinted the last twice that the step back up in distance is worth a go; each-way chance. |
