31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Twice made the frame at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Brian Ellison last month; left that yard after a disappointing Flat run but was in contention before awkward jumps at last two flights proved costly on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); swaps usual cheekpices for first-time visor; can make her presence felt. |

Recently changed hands for 8,000gns after a quiet run on the Flat; did win over hurdles for Brian Ellison and was second off this mark at Sedgefield last month; could feature. |

Fair form in two bumpers and two hurdles, last time finishing third of nine at Newcastle (2m, good; evens favourite); this stiffer test of stamina should suit; one to consider. |

10st 8lb |
Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in December; however, beaten 20l in fifth when upped in grade at Haydock (2m, good to soft) last month and remains in Class 3 company today; a career-best is required. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Soft-ground mares' bumper winner here, when with Danny Brooke; placed twice at around 2m4f over hurdles last season, including on good; not seen for 13 months and has changed stables; tongue-tie goes on; record suggests she might be better for this run. |
4/1 |

31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner who bettered her low-key hurdling debut when keeping on well to go close at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and had a valid excuse when a disappointing favourite on her next outing (bled from the nose); needs to prove herself on good ground but can play a leading role if back on song. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a point bumper in February 2024 (2m, soft); has shown bits of fair form over hurdles, notably when 11.5l fourth in a Sedgefield novice handicap in March (2m4f, good); others have stronger claims. |
12/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
A point bumper winner in 2024; only poor form shown over hurdles but he posted his best run of the season (in first-time cheekpieces) when fourth of 11 in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 23 days ago; needs to build on it in retained headgear. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Point-to-point bumper winner for whom the forecast good ground could be a positive; however, he's struggled in his first three handicaps and a major turnaround is necessary; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ostensibly a chance on the form of either of last season's third places off up to 5lb higher, one of them logged over 2m3f here; not a conspicuously strong finisher either time, however, which doesn't augur well stepping up to a new trip here; cheekpieces replace visor. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Made quite promising seasonal/chase debut over C&D in December and bounced back from a poor run with good third under Ellie Callwood at Hereford (2m, good; first-time visor) last month; could still have a bigger run in him; shortlisted. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Irish point winner in May 2024 (3m, good); mainly disappointing over hurdles, particularly last season when back after wind surgery; visor now tried. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Point winner; showed a bit in novice hurdles in November 2024 but tailed off in a novice hurdle and pulled up in a handicap chase in two outings this season over four months apart; fitted with first-time cheekpieces back hurdling; plenty to prove at present. |
20/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Tailed off in a novice hurdle here in November when back from an absence and this is his first run since; however, he showed some ability in novice hurdles in November 2024 and this point winner could improve for the switch to fences; interesting contender on handicap debut. |

Easy win on stable debut at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November and runner-up to progressive winner there (extended 2m6f, soft) next time; disappointing at Ayr (3m, soft) at the start of January but has had a break since and could bounce back with a bold show today. |
