11st 4lb |
Winless since 2023 and he's been off the track since pulled up in 3m handicap in November; on a useful mark if resurgent after a break. |

Lost out only by a nose to Orange Diamond over C&D (good) in August but was not quite in same form when fifth behind same rival here last month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

Runner-up in a 2m4f novice on his debut but hasn't progressed and was beaten 13l and 31l in his handicaps; more needed. |

Runner-up over C&D in November on soft (effective on good) but hasn't kicked on from there and not sure the latest Sedgefield run (3m3f) was that much of a step back in the right direction. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Runner-up at Wetherby (3m, soft) in November and ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) next time; of interest on those performances but two lacklustre efforts have followed. |

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made it 0-7 over fences when pulled up at Hexham two months ago after a long absence; might be happier back hurdling but has been very lightly raced in recent seasons and it's questionable what ability he retains. |

Cheekpieces haven't worked the last twice and now tries blinkers; his 10l third at Bangor last April when 9lb higher is not forgotten. |

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |

Below par on good ground the last twice but probably needs it softer, as when third at Bangor last April; 7lb lower than then so has to enter the reckoning despite his absence. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-31 over hurdles and 0-51 overall; has shown some bits and bobs of form this season and is suited by this C&D but still makes only limited appeal from 5lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |

9yo who is a longstanding maiden and was pulled up here last time; he's hard to fancy. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |

Produced a couple of reasonable performances in the final third of last year but without threatening, and this 9yo is a longstanding maiden. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised. |

Went close at Newcastle in January, but hasn't performed to the same level on his four runs since and his losing sequence continues. |

Dead-heated for first in an Irish point but has shown little under rules and she's 21lb out of the weights for this handicap debut; cheekpieces tried. |
