Made it fourth-time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism on stable/seasonal debut at Ayr (2m5f, good) 25 days ago; up 7lb for that narrow win but he showed a good attitude to hold off the runner-up and this step back up in trip should be fine; key player. |

29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December on second chase start and runner-up the next twice, including over C&D; also effective on good ground; below par at Leicester three weeks ago but he'll be a major player if swiftly returning to form in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won well at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December and a close second in his other three chases; raised 5lb for the latest narrow defeat by Immortal Fame but they did come clear; respected. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easily made all in first-time visor (retained since) at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) last month and again ran well when fourth of five at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) since; looked at home over 3m6f earlier in the season; chance. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Course scorer who resumed winning ways (in a first-time visor) in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase 20 days ago, making all and pulling right away from last as runner-up tired badly; up just 4lb here so big shout with headgear again sported. |
5/4 |

1st 1 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
He's run well in defeat on his last two starts, finishing fourth of nine at Newcastle (3m6f, good to soft) in November and second of 14 at Ayr (3m, soft) last time; he may well be in the mix in a first-time visor. |

Ten-race maiden; creditable fourth on chase debut here in November (2m5f, good) but too free when well beaten at Hexham last time (2m4f, soft); needs to settle better now stepped up to 3m for the first time. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins over fences, the most recent at Ayr (3m, soft; 14-1) in November; pulled up twice since, with no obvious explanation; reverts to hurdles for the first time since November 2022 seeking a much needed revival. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Posted some good efforts when cheekpieces were added towards the end of last season, perhaps most notably when second at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, and his run at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better than eventual 33l defeat suggests; one to consider. |

5th 8 |
24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 under rules but posted some pretty good efforts in cheekpieces towards end of last season, most recently when second from out of the weights at Kelso (2m4f, good) one month ago; can make his presence felt off correct mark here. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

0-19 over fences; ended a sequence failing to finish when a well-beaten fourth on first run back after a wind op at Ayr last time (3m, soft); 9lb out of the handicap and plenty to prove. |

Scored over hurdles here back in 2023 but he remains winless over fences and was tongue tied when pulled up over C&D in January; needs a subsequent wind operation to spark major improvement. |

Following a two-month break and a spell in the doldrums this 10yo returned to form when third of 13 at Ayr (3m, soft) a fortnight ago; this C&D winner could be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |
