10st 12lb |
Made it 3-3 at Wetherby (3m, soft) when winning on chase debut in November; ran well for a very long way when third here (3m6f, good to soft) next time; a bit disappointing at Market Rasen (3m3f, good to soft) since but in the mix if rediscovering the promise of his first two chase starts. |

No match for the winner at Hexham (2m7f, soft) on handicap debut but kept boxing on to regain second; went one better under Jack Power in another 16-runner race over C&D (good to soft) four weeks ago, looking suited by every yard, so he's firmly in calculations despite 3lb rise. |

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. |

0-20 under rules but stayed on from the rear to take third over C&D (good to soft) when back over hurdles last month and has now been placed on three of his last four appearances; no surprise if he's on the premises. |

Won an Ayr handicap 13 months ago when visored for the first time so there's hope that the new blinkers might have a similar effect; risky enough, though. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Won in first-time visor at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but he's taken two backward steps since and was a well-held fifth at Ayr (3m, soft) last time; bit to prove again and he needs to find some extra reserves of stamina. |

Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in December on second handicap start and this lightly raced 6yo retains potential for his top yard; has a question to answer regarding soft ground following his soundly beaten fifth at Wetherby (3m) but he's not ruled out today. |

23rd Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Stamina in pedigree and stepping up to an extended 2m7f triggered improvement when second of eight at Market Rasen (good to soft) seven weeks ago, with cheekpieces added; up 3lb but could have more to offer as a stayer. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Promising chase debut over 2m7f at Huntingdon (good), bang there when falling at the last; middling hurdle form since and the return to this short a trip raises questions back over fences; yard won this last year. |

Would have had a major say but for a mistake at the last at Hexham (2m4f, heavy; runner-up) in March 2024; however, she's shown little since (0-3) and competes off a 286-day absence from 3lb out of the handicap. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice over fences within a week last December but has essentially struggled off his new mark and still 6lb higher than for those two wins; still commands some respect in this weak a race. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent either side of two wins at about 2m4f last December (good to soft and heavy) but there's nothing eyecatching about his mark now and he needs to find extra for the new trip. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Consistent sort who was successful in first two attempts in visor, in December, including over C&D (heavy); should have benefitted from his first run for four months when sixth of nine at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; visor returns to replace cheekpieces and won't be far away. |

Two fair runs late last year, better effort when clear second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; pulled up last time (rider said was never travelling); tongue-tie now tried; interesting contender. |

Yet to get his head in front but only overhauled late on when runner-up over C&D (good to soft) in December in first-time cheekpieces (retained); looks sure to go close. |

Represents a leading yard, but has shown little in four starts over hurdles from 2m3f-3m so far and cheekpieces made no difference last time; best watched unless the market suggests better is expected. |

Beaten 71l, 45l and 54l in her three hurdles races, at triple-figure odds on last two occasions; moves up from 2m5f (her dam won at up to 3m) and wears first-time headgear for this handicap debut; worth a market check. |
