18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up on three of his first four chase starts (2m7f/2m5f, soft/heavy) before winning at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) last month; it was a small field last time and he's in a hotter race today, but he did it nicely and could have more to offer in the cheekpieces, which he's worn just twice. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Sound efforts on three of his four starts this term, last time finishing runner-up over 2m5f here (heavy; cheekpieces first time); headgear retained and a possible back up in trip. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Course hurdles winner who was runner-up on chase debut here (2m7f, soft) in December and bounced back from Ayr flop to go close at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last time; he has an up-and-down profile but he's a key player if once more on a going day; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

11st 5lb |
Tailed off when back over hurdles at Sedgefield last month and something to prove after that; however, he's 2lb lower than for his ready win over fences here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and shouldn't be discounted. |

19th Feb 2026 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |

Won a handicap chase at Musselburgh in December (2m7f, good to soft); shapes as though this trip will suit, is 7lb lower over hurdles and could go well. |

11st 3lb |
Went close in this last year (soft) and now 10lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled to get competitive since, most recently over C&D (soft) four weeks ago following wind surgery; a visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Catterick winner off 6lb lower in January (3m1f, good to soft); runner-up on three occasions since, including at Perth last time (3m, good to soft); well beaten both previous starts at this trip, but wouldn't rule him out. |

10st 6lb |
Respectable fifth of 14 at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) in February but well beaten at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) last month; has had a second wind op since, which needs to make a difference if he's to break his duck. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Didn't run badly on final two starts in 2025 and continues to drop down the weights; however, pulled up at Ayr last month and now 0-12 under rules; needs to bounce back in a big way in a first-time tongue-tie. |

11st 0lb |
4-29, including a C&D win (from 2lb lower) at this two-day Perth fixture in 2025; has been competing over 3m recently, failing to get home when fourth to Suspected (beaten over 13l) here three weeks ago; dropping back in trip is in his favour; don't discount hastily. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Won at Perth (2m4f, good) last May and at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in November, and has run well at up to 3m; now just 1lb above his last winning mark and not running badly this year, but he has to better those recent efforts. |

Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft); lurks on a good mark but looked out of sorts here on both appearances this season and needs recent wind op to have made a difference; tongue-tie refitted. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft), including this race a year ago; needs to rebound from a disappointing run here (3m1f) last month but is back on a workable mark and can't be ruled out. |
