2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent 10yo who was pulled up at Newcastle 19 days ago; however, he won here (2m4f, good) last April on the back of being pulled up twice in a row, so it will be no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't always been consistent but won twice last season, including over 2m4f here (good to soft); made a winning reappearance at Wetherby in December (2m3f, soft) and creditable staying-on fourth over 2m4f here last time; quite interesting back up in trip. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

Not always one to rely upon but ended last season with 6l win at Kelso (2m4f, good) and rewarded persistent Patrick Wadge ride on reappearance outing at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in December; can feature if change of headgear helps to motivate him here. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually goes well over C&D - form figures 212 - that win gained from a 2lb higher mark (favourite) over a year ago; recent Wetherby efforts were not so good but there was plenty to admire about the manner in which he rallied behind Always A Reason over C&D (good to soft) in January. |
15/8 |

5th 7 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner who was runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and filled same position at Doncaster (2m4f, soft) last month; disappointing over C&D last time but no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
13/2 |

6th 7 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Two wins last season (including C&D) and he's run well to finish second on both outings this year (2m4f, good to soft/soft), most recently at Doncaster three weeks ago; solid contender. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
26-race maiden; ran well for a long way at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last month but ended up about 21l behind Ballydangan and is effectively 2lb higher here. |

24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-24 under all codes and not very reliable but gave very good account when fourth from out of the weights at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month and is effectively 9lb lower from correct mark here; had excuse when pulled up last time (stirrup snapped); not ruled out. |

Ended last season with a 13l course win (2m, soft) and has finished second here on two of his four outings this term, more recently behind a progressive rival over C&D (soft) last month; likely to give a good account. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won all three starts at Newcastle (2m and 2m4f; good and heavy) between December and April last season and was back on track when close up here two starts ago; unseated since; didn't appear to want beyond 2m4f earlier in career but times may have changed now. |

10st 11lb |
Creditable third over C&D in January (Starman was over 6l in front of him in second) and not disgraced when fifth of six at Sedgefield last time (2m, good to soft); each-way chance. |
15/2 |

5th 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
He's dropped to a mark 3lb lower than when winning at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) last February; however, this season's form has been mixed and he was no match for Supreme George when third of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day; needs to raise his game. |
10/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |

Close up when brought down two out in Ballyfort's race over C&D last month; didn't seem to run quite as well when 15l second over C&D last time (went clear but tired late on) but still a contender today. |

10st 2lb |
Won two handicap hurdles in the spring of 2022 (3m/3m3f, good to soft); has been rather disappointing in his six runs over fences; no easy task from 4lb out of the handicap. |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't been in the best of form in three runs this season (well-beaten eighth of nine over 2m at Newcastle last week); 4lb out of the handicap; blinkers replace cheekpieces; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Improved for cheekpieces last season, winning his last two races, both on soft ground at Market Rasen (2m3f/2m1f) in February/March; not hit form so far this season, but on his last winning mark and stable going better now. |

A longstanding maiden until bagging two soft-ground handicap chases at Market Rasen (extended 2m3f and 2m2f) last February/March; pulled up there six weeks ago when back from eight months off but a return to peak efforts would put him in the mix. |

Won twice over fences in France in 2022 but he is 0-8 in Britain; modest form this season and although he's already come way down the weights, others still have more pressing claims; blinkered on last two starts. |

Won twice over fences in France in 2022 but is 0-7 in Britain; travelled strongly in the lead for a long way in first-time blinkers at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) last month but weakened in the home straight and was beaten about 17l in the end; others have more pressing claims. |
