2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over C&D (Class 5, good; same mark) last July; has mixed hurdling with Flat racing this year and wasn't beaten far when third over C&D (good; 7-1, Just Dottie fifth) 25 days ago; highly likely to give his running, even though he isn't a frequent winner. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Good fourth at Musselburgh in March but tailed off in his last run over hurdles and down the field on the Flat last week; others look more likely. |

Tailed off over hurdles last time but ran well in that code in March; he's on a handy mark on last year's best Flat form; not ruled out. |

11st 4lb |
C&D winner off 6lb lower at this meeting last season when with Adam Nicol (good); has since won at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) but has a bit to find with Betteryouthanme on recent Hexham form. |

Flat winner who is 0-8 over hurdles but hasn't been running badly; more new headgear tried but can go well. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Yet to score in this sphere but he arrives in good form, fourth of nine in 2m Perth handicap 13 days ago; he can make his presence felt again with blinkers added. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Fairly useful at his best on the Flat; 0-6 over hurdles but was third off today's mark over C&D (good) in July and also ran well when filling same position at Kelso (2m2f, good) last week; one to consider. |

C&D winner who hasn't found her form in three starts following a break and there are stamina concerns to overcome at this trip. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner who remains 4lb above her last winning mark (Hexham); low key in two C&D starts this year, beaten 19l and 17.5l respectively; this race is easier but she still needs to raise her game. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Stuck in a bit of a rut right now and he's at his best with some give underfoot; others preferred from 2lb out of the weights. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive 7yo who never really got competitive when sixth over C&D (good) last month; far too well handicapped to rule out but needs to stage a revival. |
5/1 |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Not really firing on all cylinders since the winter but has slipped to a very tempting mark and, with blinkers refitted, was not beaten far when fifth in recent C&D handicap fought out by Just Dottie and Mack The Man. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't the best of win records (4-43 over hurdles), last win coming over 2m2f here in September 2023; good fourth over 2m5f here last month, but tailed off last time; 10lb out of the handicap. |
33/1 |

12th 16 |
16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Returned to form with 2l fourth of 11 behind Looking Splendid at Kelso (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; however, it's over two years since this 10yo last won and he's even further out of the handicap this afternoon. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice here (including over C&D) in 2023 but this year's pointing form is uninspiring and he has struggled back over fences and hurdles in last three starts; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-6 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and ran well for a long way before weakening into fifth at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; could have a say here. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Hinted at possible return to form when third in 3m chase here in May but was pulled up (lame) in another of those here ten days ago and is now 0-6 for current stable; looks opposable in this 2m hurdle. |
14/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on first three starts for Andrew Hamilton but his C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie) third in May was a big step back in the right direction; suffered a mishap at Hexham last time but has possibilities if able to build on that previous effort. |
16/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Started off for Andrew Hamilton with three heavy defeats but last month's third at Perth (3m, good) was a big step back in the right direction; may benefit from today's drop back in trip and can cope if there's rain about; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |
