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. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Inconsistent this season and well beaten at Bangor a fortnight ago; however, he won off this mark at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November and was a good second over C&D (good to soft) last March; shouldn't be written off. |
16/1 |

7th 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Catterick win in November (3m1f, good) and went close back there in January; does have his off days (finished last when third on final run) but there's a big run in him if he fancies it. |

Capable on his day as he showed when winning at Catterick in November (3m1f, good); poor efforts in two of his three runs since; hard to assess. |

11st 10lb |
Low-mileage mare who got right back on track (under today's rider Gregor Walkingshaw) when a clear second of 11 over C&D 24 days ago; up 2lb but she holds leading claims for yard back among the winners. |
7/4 |

10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |

Heavy-ground chase winner at 3m; close up over C&D in November (soft) but not quite at that level since and bit to find with Jirko on a recent clash here. |
8/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
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. |

Winless since 2021 and this veteran chaser arrives below par, only seventh of ten in 3m Southwell handicap 24 days ago; others are preferred. |

11yo who has been very lightly raced since winning off 14lb higher at Market Rasen (3m, soft) in February 2021; pulled up over C&D last month when back from latest long absence and has plenty to prove. |

26-race maiden; ran well for a long way at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last month but ended up about 21l behind Ballydangan and is effectively 2lb higher here. |

24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

0-24 under all codes and not very reliable but gave very good account when fourth from out of the weights at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month and is effectively 9lb lower from correct mark here; had excuse when pulled up last time (stirrup snapped); not ruled out. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Bagged a second C&D victory in November but his more recent form is less encouraging, only sixth over C&D last time; handily weighted if getting back on track, though. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways over C&D in November and posted a respectable sixth of ten in 3m Musselburgh handicap chase following month; much respected for his in-form yard after a break. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |

Seeking a hat-trick after wins over C&D (soft) and at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft); up another 5lb for latest success but drying ground not ideal. |
5/2 |

1st 11 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |

Reportedly jumped better than on his previous start (here) when returning to form to win at Sedgefield last time (3m2f, soft); has a chance on that, but isn't particularly consistent. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
He's well handicapped on his 2024 chase form (won here) but his subsequent profile has been mixed and he was soundly beaten when back over fences at Carlisle two months ago; others have more pressing claims. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Lost his way over fences last season but he kept on for an encouraging fourth of 19 over hurdles at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month and has a handy mark to work with now back chasing, with the step back up in trip a plus. |

A fair winning hurdler at 2m5f but he's offered little in two runs over fences this term, pulled up at Carlisle (2m4f) 24 days ago; others are much preferred. |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |

17th Dec 2023 Soft 3m 1f 185y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
First and third in good-ground handicap hurdles earlier this year before struggling under softer conditions; the ground is therefore a worry and he goes without the cheekpieces that were working well. |
