18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
6yo who made it 4-10 over fences when completing a double with his late thrust at Hexham (3m, good) last month; up 3lb but he's been as good as ever in his last two starts and he's strong stayer as this trip; key player. |

11st 4lb |
Dug deep to resume winning ways at Perth (2m4f, good to soft; 15-8 favourite) over three weeks ago; that was his second run there in the space of 24 hours (third over 3m previous day); 4lb higher with blinkers applied, but Shane Fenelon's 5lb claim lessens that burden; key player. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and placed on last two starts, most recently runner-up at Kelso (2m1f, good) last week; the step back up in trip poses a question but he's a leading player if seeing it out. |

2nd 5 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two wins at Sedgefield last season, the second a 2m1f handicap chase (good); went up 6lb for that and was put up another 7lb for finishing 4l third from 8lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month (2m, soft); could go well despite that rise. |

3rd 9 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Progressive in cheekpieces, winning at Sedgefield in November (2m1f, soft; hurdles) and March (2m, good; fences); should appreciate going back left-handed after being soundly beaten at Carlisle last time but he's 8lb out of the handicap today and the cheekpieces are left off. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 under rules but ran his best race over fences when runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good) eight days ago in first-time visor (retained) when attempting to make all; 3lb higher in future chases and should run well. |
100/30 |

2nd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Still unexposed under rules and was seemingly aided by new cheekpieces when second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was well held when third at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now tries a visor; forecast rain probably not ideal. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who was in and out last season but returned to form when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in March last time; could have a part to play if conditions are suitable (he's unraced on good ground under rules). |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Didn't jump well when pulled up in first-time blinkers at Plumpton last November when last seen; however, he was in good form previously in cheekpieces and they go back on today; could have a big say. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four good runs over fences this season, the most notable a win at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) two starts ago; also suited by this C&D and good ground; leading contender. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won off 2lb higher at Sedgefield during the winter (2m5f, soft) but nothing since, as the second in March was remote. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won off this mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Sedgefield in December but below par on his next three starts and he unseated early at Hexham 12 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
25/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Has been a bit disappointing since winning a novice handicap chase off this mark in first-time cheekpieces at Sedgefield in December (2m5f, soft) and has a bit to prove at present. |
