24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Returned from layoff with two good efforts over fences last autumn but the rest of last season's chasing form was disappointing; now hurdling for first time since 2023; on good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but needs to have refreshed by latest break. |

31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from break with two good seconds in the autumn (2m/2m1f), but has lost his way a bit since and is unraced on ground quicker than good to soft (withdrawn from a recent engagement with good deemed unsuitable). |

31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Placed in three good-ground chases last year, most notably when close second at Sedgefield (2m5f) in October, but has looked out of sorts lately; leap of faith to support him. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made it 0-5 over fences when pulled up at Catterick last month but this course hurdle winner was running well in chases previously, finishing second at Sedgefield two starts ago; in the mix if bouncing back. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually goes well over C&D - form figures 212 - that win gained from a 2lb higher mark (favourite) over a year ago; recent Wetherby efforts were not so good but there was plenty to admire about the manner in which he rallied behind Always A Reason over C&D (good to soft) in January. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner who was runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and filled same position at Doncaster (2m4f, soft) last month; disappointing over C&D last time but no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Two wins last season (including C&D) and he's run well to finish second on both outings this year (2m4f, good to soft/soft), most recently at Doncaster three weeks ago; solid contender. |

31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made low-key start to rules career in 2m hurdles during the winter and was beaten about 28l when fifth on last month's chase/handicap debut at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft); however, he remains very unexposed and might benefit from today's drop back in trip; worth a second look. |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Not the only one in here who struggled over hurdles but has the potential to make a superior chaser, having finished third in his two completed points; handicap debut; market useful. |

Extremely hard to win with and modest runs outweigh the good ones these days. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

Good third at Market Rasen two runs back (2m1f, good to soft); hard to win with, but an each-way chance; new combination of headgear tried. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over C&D on good ground last season, including in this race, his mark going up 14lb as a result; won over 1m7f off his new mark here last time; up another 4lb but should again be competitive. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won three in a row over 3m here last spring (good/good to soft); returned from an absence with encouraging sixth over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) recently; however, he may well find today's trip inadequate. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In excellent form over fences last spring, winning three times at Hexham (3m, good/good to soft); can cope with drop back in trip for this first hurdling start since 2022 but has fitness to prove after 294-day layoff. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Returned to form to win this race off a 3lb higher mark last year; has been rather disappointing on his last couple of starts and more is needed for a repeat win. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Off the mark over fences when scoring at Hexham last May (2m4f, good to soft); hasn't been in such good form since; 1lb lower than his winning mark; drier ground should suit. |
