10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Has won both races since the tongue-tie joined cheekpieces, latterly making all for a narrow success over C&D three weeks ago (good); a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world but dominating this bigger field with likely pressure up front could be challenging. |

Posted personal best in first-time tongue-strap five weeks ago, making all in four-runner race at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); that was his fourth hurdles win, and with more improvement possible he should go well again. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed 10yo whose powers would appear to be on the wane judged on this season's performances; opposable. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
10yo whose mark continues to fall and he took a step back in the right direction when third of seven at Ayr a fortnight ago; it's possible he'll be able to build on that latest run but he was beaten just over 7l and certainly needs a bigger performance this afternoon. |

3rd 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Boasts two wins around here, one over this distance, but has been below his best this term and was pulled up at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month in race won by Triple Crown Ted; hard to fancy. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Looked better than ever when third in the Morebattle Hurdle here in February and posted a good third on the Flat at Musselburgh last month; must enter calculations in refitted cheekpieces. |

3rd 1 (11) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won this prize in 2023 and had a fruitful Flat/hurdles campaign last winter before his close fourth in this; while he did not make an impact in either of his Flat runs this winter, latest hurdles form was his best in that sphere; 8lb lower than the 2025 renewal and a case can certainly be made. |
13/2 |

3rd 10 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Runner-up here (2m, soft) last February and back on song when third at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) four weeks ago; he's lightly raced over hurdles and is on an attractive mark judged on his very useful Flat form, but he needs to raise his game if he's to take this. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive and inconsistent veteran; seemingly perked up by change of headgear when close second in refitted visor at Perth (2m, good) last month and remains on a very good mark but it's not easy to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again here. |
8/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed; goes well on testing ground but latest win (off 10lb higher) was on good ground at Ayr in November (2m) when returning from a break; beaten 20l when eighth over C&D last month (good to soft; blinkers replaced regular visor); visor back on today; well handicapped, but a bit to prove. |

10th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not particularly consistent but has a chance on his best form; successful at Carlisle in March (2m3f, good to soft) when wearing a visor for the first time, but well beaten off this 7lb higher mark with same headgear when favourite at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good). |

31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Bounced back quickly from last month's poor performance and took form to whole new level at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft; first-time visor) three weeks ago, keeping on strongly to win readily by 6l; went up 7lb for that but must be considered in current mood. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last November; finished a long way behind Sea Of Kings at Doncaster on his return to the Flat four weeks ago; others appeal more. |

Ended his time with Adrian Keatley below par last autumn but a winner over fences at Southwell for his new yard before being pulled up at Market Rasen in December; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |
5/1 |
