2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
10st 5lb |
Lightly raced 10yo whose chase win came in 2m4f Newcastle handicap over three years ago, more recently won 3m1f Ayr handicap hurdle early last year; seasonal return over fences at Cork in November encouraging but poor Haydock run (jumped and hung left) tempers enthusiasm; cheekpieces now added on only fifth chase start. |

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. |

Beat Guernesey (2lb better off) by a neck at Hexham in December (2m7f, heavy) but pulled up both starts since (tried in new headgear last time); cheekpieces back on but plenty to prove at present. |

Won narrowly at Hexham in December (2m7f, heavy) but a nothing run behind Shoeshine Boy here underlined his inconsistency; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Below par since last June's Hexham win off 2lb higher (3m, good to soft) until reviving, up to a point, with last month's Ayr Class 2 fourth; has to show that a sharp track is what's wanted, though. |
8/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Bang there when falling seven out in the Hexham Marathon over fences last month (4m, soft); she's 1lb below her last winning hurdle mark but Hexham seems to bring out the best in her and this inconsistent mare was pulled up in this race 12 months ago; it might be best to look elsewhere. |
20/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
She has an unconvincing, 0-5 record over fences and also something to prove regarding her current form, having been tailed off back over hurdles four weeks ago; however, she likes Hexham and won in good style over hurdles here last June; 6lb lower today and might not be a forlorn hope. |

Heavy-ground bumper winner who showed solid form in novice hurdles last season at up to an extended 2m4f, and he reappeared with a handicap debut win at Haydock (2m3f, soft) last month; goes up in trip and he could do with settling and jumping better, but he's unexposed and clearly promising. |

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. |

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 5lb |
Goes well here and won over the extended 2m6f (good to soft) just after Christmas; ridden less prominently when only sixth of ten at Haydock next time; may bounce back, although he remains on a career-high mark. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |

His form can be in and out but he's been progressive among the blips and was back on song when winning at Kelso (extended 2m6f, good to soft) 19 days ago; this trip may be within range and has a chance for in-form yard. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Unable to justify prominence in the betting when well beaten at Kelso (2m5f, good) this month and remains without a win since 2021; others have much more appealing profiles. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Soundly beaten over 3m here this month and remains without a win since Irish maiden success in 2021; continues to slide down the weights and may benefit from this drop back in trip but still makes only limited appeal. |

Second in this race in 2022, fourth in 2023 and 12th in 2024; no win since February 2023 and generally little impact since; tried a tongue-tie latest start and now reverts to his usual cheekpieces. |

He may have needed last month's comeback run here (soundly beaten) and he continues to drop down the weights, but for good reason; last season was disappointing in the main; needs to turn things around; a tongue-tie goes on. |
