18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently in May; needs to bounce back from below-par run here three weeks ago but probably still on a workable mark; dangerous to ignore. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Yard also runs Rauzan but this one has three C&D wins from six visits here; latest win was last month and he went close under 7lb penalty over 3m1f here two days later; those were his only two runs since latest wind surgery; raised another 4lb today but he has to be on the shortlist. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won the 2m6f handicap on this card 12 months ago and returned to form with a 2l success over that same trip on Monday (following a wind operation); did that comfortably and must have every chance under a penalty. |

3rd 8 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Had jumping issues during her chase spell and proved suited by the return to hurdles in C&D contest (good to soft) last time, just holding on from Lizzie Luna who might have won but for coming off a true line; may remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who might well have made a winning chase debut here (2m4f, good) in May, had she not clouted the last two fences; again made jumping errors when well behind Heaven Smart over that trip last month but can pose a potent threat if she gets into a better rhythm today. |
6/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-5 over hurdles but made promising start to chasing career when third over C&D (good) in May; might well have won that race had she not clouted the last two fences, and commands respect off the same mark today. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close at Kelso (2m5f, good) last April but has not made a serious impact this season; now 8lb below the Kelso mark but 0-17 as a hurdler; a hood returns, after it was last fitted in 2023. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Went close at Kelso (2m5f) last spring; has regressive form this term, taking record over hurdles to 0-16, but gives the impression this belated drop back to about 2m is worth exploring. |
14/1 |
|
5th 5 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Three-time French Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles having been below par on her three outings this term; however, she's well handicapped on last season's best efforts and is not written off. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C&D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here. |
10/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |
12/1 |

3rd 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has won four chases, including over C&D in May 2024 (good); best recent form has been at Musselburgh and he was below par over C&D last time (good). |

25th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who made the frame in his sole point-to-point and could appreciate going chasing; lines up on a reduced mark but he struggled to get competitive over hurdles and his claims aren't compelling. |
12/1 |
|

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who has shown some ability and is dropping down the weights, but he's finished merely eighth the last twice and needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran fairly well for fourth at Hexham (2m7f, good) but that made it 0-35; not hard to take on. |

4th 9 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when fourth from out of the weights in quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in March but was well beaten when tried in a visor in April (2m4f) and is now 0-31 over hurdles; sports refitted cheekpieces here; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Only a respectable fourth of five at Sedgefield a fortnight ago, extending his losing run to 33; has a first-time visor added to his regular tongue-tie now. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Disappointing on both runs this year and needs to turn things around; however, perhaps first-time cheekpieces will help and she won over C&D (good to soft) in November on her last visit here. |
7/1 |
|
7th 9 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Justified market support when winning at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) in November; didn't see it out as well as the principals at Ayr (3m; fourth of ten) next time, before pulling up on heavy ground at Leicester latest; probable player if returning to peak form. |
9/2 |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Opened account with clearcut success at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November and ran well until stamina ebbed away at Ayr (3m, heavy) last month; drops back in trip here and has another big role to play. |

10st 12lb |
On the up since fitted with cheekpieces and he readily got off the mark in 2m4f handicap at Musselburgh last month; hiked up 9lb but he seems sure to go well if his stamina holds out over this longer trip. |
15/8 |
