9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Easy winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last October and he took a big step back in right direction when seventh of 23 in the County at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft); missed the Scottish Champion Hurdle last month due to heavy ground; still only five and he's 1lb lower than in the County; major player. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
7-23 overall and she arrives on a roll after wins over hurdles at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in June and on the Flat here (1m5f, good to soft) in September; should make a chaser and could be hard to peg back if getting into a good rhythm. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner whose best effort over fences was when second of four finishers at Doncaster (3m, soft) in February; unseated early on the following month and well beaten over hurdles since; first-time cheekpieces are now fitted; may need softer ground to be seen to advantage. |
4/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Signs of promise in novice hurdles (including on good to soft) and runner-up over fences in handicap at Doncaster (3m, soft) in February; reverts to hurdles having unseated over fences last month; not ruled out. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-9 under rules but has made promising start to chasing career this season and posted good effort when second at Doncaster (3m, soft) last month; can cope with this drop back in trip and probably won't be far away. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf makes any difference in that regard. |

Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year, but he looks high enough in the weights now and makes a belated Polytrack debut. |

Maiden hurdler; got off the mark when overcoming some trouble in running to make a winning chase debut at Sedgefield last time (2m5f, good); up 4lb; should go well again. |

Beaten only about 4l when fourth in good-ground course bumper in May but was remote when filling same position at Ayr (good to soft) last month and needs to improve to pose a threat on this hurdling debut. |

Enters calculations on the form of his second in 1m Musselburgh handicap in April but he beat only one over 7f there 12 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
1-24, the win coming by a nose at Wetherby (2m, good to firm) over two years ago; 28-1 when second of five over C&D (Quercus Robur last) three weeks ago but that was a messy event and he'll need a bit more today. |
