2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
His near-9l fifth in this race last year (behind Clean Getaway) came at the end of a fairly busy spring/summer campaign; defied longer absence than today's for April's Sedgefield success, but yet to convince this higher sort of mark hasn't compromised him for further win purposes. |

Returned from break with win at Sedgefield (2m, good) last month, his fifth chase, and was placed off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) a few days later; obvious contender in current form. |

2nd 2 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Made it four wins from his five starts for this yard when scoring by 10l at Perth (2m, good) in July last time; on that evidence an 8lb rise may not be enough to stop him, provided he resumes where he left off following a two-month break. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All four wins have been at Hexham and it was never in much doubt there three weeks ago (1m7f, good); hard to grumble with the 8lb rise but now has to continue his good work on a very different track, and he was a lot lower in the weights when second to Garde Des Champs in this 12 months ago. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won this easily in 2024, with his yard also responsible for the 2022 winner Lucky Lover Boy; back on song lately, runner-up at Bangor (2m4f) and forcing his head to the front where it matters at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm; 5-2); obvious chance from 4lb higher. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Hasn't won for two years and has raced mainly over fences for the last 12 months; ran better when second of eight finishers back over hurdles at Bangor (2m4f, good) 12 days ago and is one of the likelier ones. |
9/4 |

2nd 10 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Better known as a chaser now and has not really been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in April; not yet proven over this far and needs to be perked up by this switch back to hurdling; usually avoids ground slower than good. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has a solid record over fences, with plenty of places alongside three wins in 15 attempts; might strip fitter for his Bangor run which followed wind surgery. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Three chase wins, the latest in this race 12 months ago off the very same mark; could be interesting after wind surgery and recent rain welcomed. |

Produced good performance to win by 6l at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March but has not been in the same form again since, and he failed to convince stamina-wise on his three previous attempts at about 2m4f. |

Lightly raced since winning two novice hurdles for Gordon Elliott in autumn 2022; however, he's hard to fancy on what he's shown subsequently. |

A fairly useful 2m-winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott in 2022 but very lightly raced subsequently and has offered little for his current yard, pulled up over C&D 11 months ago; hard to warm to. |

10st 13lb |
Won C&D juvenile hurdle in 2023 and is well handicapped on some of last season's placed efforts but his Flat form in second half of last year was mixed and he fell when back over hurdles in January; others have less to prove. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won over hurdles in October 2023; modest third on first two Flat starts at the end of the summer; faded to finish seventh switched to AW here on his qualifying run but low-grade handicaps provide him with a much more realistic chance. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won over hurdles in October 2023; switched to the Flat in his last two starts and was a respectable third at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) last time but was beaten 5l in that race and this is much tougher on his AW debut. |
