2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Stays at least this far and was in good form over fences for most of last year, but he has a bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since below-par run in December but returned from break with creditable second at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft; stays much further) in November and won when fresh last spring; has travelled from Northumberland for this race and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester in May; absolute shocker at Warwick (also 2m4f, good) 29 days again, though, beaten 62l with no obvious excuses. |

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

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; did it well last time and a 4lb rise may not stop him. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); returned to form with a string of good efforts in the autumn but absent since pulled up in Fakenham marathon just before Christmas and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player. |

Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Has won four chases, including over C&D in May 2024 (good); best recent form has been at Musselburgh and he was below par over C&D last time (good). |
14/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
11yo whose losing run goes back 11 races to November 2024 but he ran pretty well off his lower hurdle mark at Musselburgh last month, following a break, and all four of his wins have come over fences (two of them here); not discounted back chasing. |

10st 10lb |
5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |

Won this race off a 4lb lower mark last season (Hawkseye View third); mixed form this season, but the drier ground will suit and has an each-way chance. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Bagged a second C&D victory in November but his more recent form is less encouraging, only sixth over C&D last time; handily weighted if getting back on track, though. |

0-20 under rules but stayed on from the rear to take third over C&D (good to soft) when back over hurdles last month and has now been placed on three of his last four appearances; no surprise if he's on the premises. |

Made all at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in February and didn't run badly on last month's return to action at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft), which he could improve for; however, he has a major stamina question to answer here. |

Placed in bumpers and over hurdles, and he won two point-to-points in spring 2022; however, he's run just once since, when 33-1 and pulled up in a maiden hunter chase at Cartmel in May; this 10yo has plenty to prove. |
