27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Below par at Ayr last time, ending a consistent spell of form; rebound looks possible but this is a difficult task and he's still seeking a first win away from Hexham. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Placed on consecutive starts in cheekpieces here (2m4f/2m3f) in December/January and again ran well when close second in first-time visor at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on latest outing; contests this competitive race from a career-high mark but still enters calculations. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who has gained most of his wins at this venue, including this race in 2020 and 2025 (same mark as today); hasn't built on his reappearance second at Ripon in two subsequent outings but a revival can't be ruled out back here. |

The latest of his 12 wins (Flat/hurdles) came at Catterick (1m6f, good) last October when ridden by Jake Dickson; flattered by proximity to eased-down winner at Ripon (2m, soft) ten days ago, but that rival has won twice again since and this 10yo may step forward from that first run since January. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he got hampered when unseating over C&D last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning this race (good to soft) last year; that was a brave success and he's a player if he can recapture that form. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
In good form in the spring, most notably when dead-heating at Kelso (2m5f, good); not seen since a duff effort here in June but has a C&D win on his CV and can feature if back on song after his break. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won this race last term and better form this spring, all on good ground; dead-heated for first at Kelso (2m5f) last time, which has pushed him up 3lb to his highest mark since 2024 but he looks much more likely than most of these to give his running; should be thereabouts. |

Gave pretty good account before fading into fifth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) on Tuesday but he's 0-11 over hurdles now and has to compete from just out of the weights. |

10yo who is a five-time hurdle winner and ran well when second at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February; however, his campaign concluded with two lesser performances and he returns from some time off today. |

Without a victory since early 2023 but he comes here in good order, ridden too aggressively when a fading sixth in 2m4f Hexham handicap 25 days ago; considered with cheekpieces refitted. |

Following wind surgery he took a step back in the right direction when 11l second over 2m at Ayr this month; needs to build on that latest performance but it's possible the step back up in trip will be a plus. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft) in February in a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; both were missing when he was fourth at Kelso the following month (2m5f, good to soft; ran without declared tongue-tie); reappears wearing just cheekpieces and he's capable of going well if at the top of his game. |

Runner-up at Catterick in December on first two chase starts (2m3f, good to soft/good) and bounced back from lesser show at Haydock to win at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft) last month; hit with 8lb rise for last time but he had plenty in hand and could still be well treated. |
