21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Very inconsistent nowadays and needs to bounce back from tame effort in valuable handicap hurdle here three weeks ago but ran well from the front when second in C&D (good) chase in May and has claims if judged on that. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Quickly switches back to hurdling after good second over fences here (2m1f, good) last month; does not have much margin for error off current mark but will cope a lot better than some of these if the ground ends up heavy. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Six-time hurdle winner on soft/heavy ground; reverts to fences on a tempting mark but was well beaten in his only previous chase (in October 2023) and there may not be enough rain about for him today. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner; only his third run over fences when second here a month ago but never went a yard here on Saturday and was pulled up in this new aids combination. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
9yo whose losing sequence goes all the way back to September 2022 but he returned to form when second over C&D (soft) last month and is also fine on good ground; a tongue-tie is added; possible player. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner who was useful on good ground in his prime; launched chasing career with two very respectable runs here (2m1f/2m5f) in May and was not disgraced in competitive 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Saturday (albeit finishing behind Sea The Clouds); could have a say. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Has a record of 2-2 over C&D when the ground is good, namely wins in the same March contest (Class 4) for the last two years; upped in grade but still looks interesting returned to this scenario with Kelso reappearance (2m5f) under his belt. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won by 9l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in March when last seen; an 8lb higher mark and different trip give him questions to answer on this first outing since but he's not ruled out. |
9/2 |

1st 3 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this last year when 2lb higher (good); ran well in fifth of 15 at Catterick in January, when not quite seeing out the 2m3f trip, and he unseated mid-race there last time; could have a big part to play. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Kept on well to score here (2m1f, good) on Saturday, getting off the mark over fences at the 20th attempt; has 7lb penalty to shoulder today but the longer trip and likely slower ground will both be in his favour. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
0-19 over fences; went close here (2m5f, heavy) last summer and is now 5lb below that mark but his recent efforts have been disappointing and he might find 2m1f on good ground an inadequate stamina test. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Two wins at Carlisle in November 2024 (2m1f, soft/good to soft); mixed form since, including over fences; sound run back hurdling at Carlisle in March (2m1f, soft), but poor next time and has since had wind surgery; bit to prove. |
