19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-20 over fences and although he finished second here (4m) in March, he has run below that since at Carlisle and back over hurdles at Perth; requires an extreme test to be seen at his best. |
33/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both hurdle wins came over 3m/3m1f on soft back in 2022; fair second in a 4m h'cap chase at Hexham last month (soft), but not so good last time. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on second (no threat to winner) at Hexham (4m, soft) last month and is also well suited by this track but is far too inconsistent to rely upon and would appeal more on soft/heavy ground. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
His last two wins have come here (including this race in 2023) and he was 8lb out of the handicap when back here last time; however, this 10yo has been pulled up on his last three starts and needs to turn things around. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Ayr (3m, soft) four weeks ago; he's also effective on good to soft ground and a 4lb rise won't necessarily beat him, but he's inconsistent and has a good record at Ayr, so it's questionable whether he'll produce another good performance today. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Course winner who comes here in decent nick, though he finished tired when second of seven in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase three weeks ago; he can race off a 2lb lower mark here so must still enter calculations. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Posted some good efforts when cheekpieces were added towards the end of last season, perhaps most notably when second at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, and his run at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better than eventual 33l defeat suggests; one to consider. |
6/1 |

5th 8 |
24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 under rules but posted some pretty good efforts in cheekpieces towards end of last season, most recently when second from out of the weights at Kelso (2m4f, good) one month ago; can make his presence felt off correct mark here. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Pulled up two runs ago but solid efforts in defeat on either side of that and he's an assured stayer at this trip; the blinkers are new, as were the cheekpieces when third at Kelso last month. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Veteran; C&D winner in 2021; having a good season, winning at Newcastle in January (2m7f, good to soft) and in the frame on his three runs since, last time when 9lb wrong; runs off his true mark here; could go well. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Made an early mistake and unable to threaten when sixth of 14 on this month's chase and seasonal debut at Hexham (2m4f, soft), but he made some late headway; won over 2m7f on heavy ground over hurdles at Hexham in March and he could have a part to play now upped in trip. |

Best effort when running away from 12 rivals at Hexham (3m, heavy) in April 2024; hasn't always had suitable conditions since, and she lost a shoe when bidding for a win in the same race 201 days ago; may still have some potential and she's now only 2lb higher than for the win. |
