14th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
0-8 over hurdles but held on gamely to make winning chase debut at Hexham (1m7f) last month and also ran well when second over that C&D (again on good) ten days later; up in grade here but must be considered. |

Toughed it out to make a recent winning chasing debut over C&D (4-1; with Dream Jet fourth); raised 5lb since but warmed to the task on that occasion and should make his presence felt in similar conditions; key player. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Now back on same mark as for last summer's win at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) and will be fine on the forecast faster ground here but needs to up his game after some below-par hurdle/chase runs this spring. |

11st 12lb |
Justified favouritism at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) last August and backed that up with a solid Kelso run next time; however, he has been below par in 2025, weakening out of contention back over fences at Kelso (2m4f; beaten 24l) latest; drop back in distance and an easing mark are both helpful. |

10st 8lb |
Successful at Hexham (1m7f, good) last time, taking chase record to 3-14; runs off career-high mark upped in grade but is consistent and should give his running. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Winner of a four-runner C&D affair (good; from 3lb lower) last November; allowed an easy lead here recently when returning from a 162-day absence but weakened to finish only fourth (beaten 7l) to tonight's rival Willie Shake Hands; a 6lb weights turnaround gives him a shout. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Point winner who also made all in a 2m novice hurdle here (20-1) last June; fortunes have dipped markedly since wind surgery, pulling up twice over fences and making no impact over hurdles at Newcastle or Ayr (both 2m4f); easing mark but best watched on return to fences. |

Won a novice hurdle at Hexham last June but pulled up over fences in December/March and was soundly beaten when back over hurdles at Newcastle just 11 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
No win since November 2022 and he's struggled for form in recent starts, joining this trainer for the last three and well beaten in a 2m selling hurdle here on latest; visor applied for just his second attempt - last of five in the other - over fences; unlikely candidate. |

10st 2lb |
Point winner in May 2023; yet to show much under rules (0-7), weakening quickly in an uncompetitive 2m maiden here (25-1) 17 days ago; the switch to fences under rules could suit but it will still come as a surprise if she's good enough; 1lb out of the handicap. |
