Two wins last season included this race but he hasn't been in such good form this year; an 11yo now. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |

11st 0lb |
Won twice in 2025, at Musselburgh in January (2m4f, soft) and at Worcester in May (2m4f, good); hasn't done as well since and was pulled up at Stratford last time; could bounce back |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |

Absent since below-par run in December but returned from break with creditable second at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft; stays much further) in November and won when fresh last spring; has travelled from Northumberland for this race and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting. |

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester in May; absolute shocker at Warwick (also 2m4f, good) 29 days again, though, beaten 62l with no obvious excuses. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); returned to form with a string of good efforts in the autumn but absent since pulled up in Fakenham marathon just before Christmas and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C&D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Started off for James Moffatt with two good-ground wins in May, the latter over C&D; ran as though something was amiss here three weeks ago but could still have more improvement to come for new stable if quickly back on song; cheekpieces (worn twice in 2024) are given another whirl. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

2-2 since joining James Moffatt, latest win over C&D last month (good); up another 7lb (15lb rise in total) but should go well again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Bagged a second C&D victory in November but his more recent form is less encouraging, only sixth over C&D last time; handily weighted if getting back on track, though. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) but ran poorly over 3m1f here on Saturday, after a five-month break, and will need to rebound quickly. |

Made all at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in February and didn't run badly on last month's return to action at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft), which he could improve for; however, he has a major stamina question to answer here. |

Placed in bumpers and over hurdles, and he won two point-to-points in spring 2022; however, he's run just once since, when 33-1 and pulled up in a maiden hunter chase at Cartmel in May; this 10yo has plenty to prove. |
