19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has a decent record here (231413) but usually needs a run under his belt to hit form after a break; this will be his first run of the year but his course record means he cannot be ignored. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Career best when winning at Hexham (1m7f) in May, his third success over fences, all at about 2m; didn't match that despite finishing second next time but it was a solid return, back from a small break, when keeping on for fourth of seven at Market Rasen (2m1f, also good) 19 days ago; has weakened over this trip and beyond before but it looks worth exploring again. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
C&D winner who produced a career best at Hexham (1m7f, good) in May when landing his third chase win but well-held when second of five finishers at Perth (2m, good) in June; consistent sort who may have benefitted from the short break and is not out of this. |

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 |

2nd 2 |
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. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won when upped to 2m7f at Musselburgh (2m7f, good to soft) in February and his novice chase campaign concluded with a close third at Perth (3m, good to soft) in April; he's had wind surgery since; he may improve for today's reappearance outing but this lightly raced 6yo is not ruled out. |

In the frame in five of his six races over fences this season, winning over this trip at Musselburgh in February (good to soft) and last time finishing 8l fourth at Carlisle (3m, good); each-way chance. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Made it two wins for the season when scoring over C&D (soft) in January and bounced back from lesser run here when 1l second of five over C&D (soft) last month; could give another good account but he needs to be better than ever back up in grade if he's to win today. |

2nd 4 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins this season, on good ground at Kelso and soft over C&D; still on a competitive mark if a line can be put through his latest effort when tailed off over this C&D. |
