5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Early casualty behind Touquet two runs ago and 2m3f looked too far for him last time out, but he appeared value for a greater rise than 5lb for his Lingfield success (2m, good to soft; Touquet over 1l third) before all of that; remains of interest. |

3rd 3 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Off the mark on third chase start when scoring at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December; fair run over this trip at Ffos Las on previous start but he fell last time out; a possible on earlier form. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Appreciated better ground when opening his chase account at the fourth attempt at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in March, but took a heavy fall back there the following month; still has more to offer in this sphere and he's respected if that latest effort hasn't dented his confidence. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Didn't hang about over hurdles and seemed to appreciate getting away from slow ground when edging home in a C&D good-ground handicap three weeks ago, on only his fourth run over fences; up 5lb but probably improving. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Unseated rider on seasonal/chase/handicap debut in December and was safely held on next two outings (both on slow ground) but he'll appreciate this ease in grade and may yet come good for his top stable. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 150y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Improver who made it 2-3 over fences when scoring at Chepstow (3m, soft) last month; the leader fell two out in that race but this 6yo was in a clear second at the time and he eventually won by 8l in that big-field handicap; up 6lb but he's still lightly raced and should have more to offer in this sphere. |
2/1 |

1st 14 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Very close second to progressive rival on seasonal/handicap/chase debut in November, then was left clear to score at Taunton (2m7f, good; final-fence faller won next time out) last month; 8lb higher here and not sure to be ideally suited by the slower ground, but still commands respect. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
28th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Promising effort in the second of two Irish points; dropped out into a very remote fourth of five finishers on hurdle debut here (2m6f, heavy) this month but it wouldn't surprise to see a better show here. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Stayed on well to go close in a soft-ground bumper at Southwell and the ground was heavy when below that level at Ffos Las in another bumper won by Potters Charm; out of a half-sister to Un De Sceaux and remains promising. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in December on second handicap start and bounced back from lesser run to win at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month; up 5lb but he's still unexposed and is open to more progress in staying handicaps; big player. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

December's Warwick 2m5f handicap second (good to soft) suggested he has races in him, but he didn't improve for a stayers' trip as expected back there latest; form of 2m6f maiden third on sole previous visit here a year ago needs improving on significantly. |

8th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |

Consistent five-race maiden who ties in with a couple of these opponents; however, chance of opening his account largely depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

2nd 8 |
4th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Four-race maiden who has consistent form figures and steadily progressive RPRs; ran well at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) most recently, taking hurdles record to 333; solid contender who has a good chance at the weights and could open his account. |

12st 2lb |
Tailed off at Chepstow in December on sole run this season and could do with settling better (2m7f, good to soft; attracted market support on that handicap debut); however, he readily made all under Ella Herbison in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last April and retains potential. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Point winner who has made an encouraging start to his hurdling career this year; no match for short-odds winner when second here (2m6f, heavy) in February and ideally needs to learn to settle better, but he's a contender. |

Yet to get his head in front and he didn't look the easiest of rides when a fair fourth of nine in 3m1f Warwick handicap 22 days ago, hanging left late on; still no forlorn hope off the same mark. |

No wins in eight but nearly put that right on soft at Ffos Las (3m) and drier ground put forward as an excuse here on New Year's Eve; with rain about, he has to be feared. |

Stays this far when all's well with him, but his jumping didn't pass muster on December's chasing debut; hopes rest with the wind procedure received since stopping quickly here latest and/or the cheekpieces. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 3 |

Did well as a novice hurdler, winning a 3m1f maiden at Hereford; jumping failed to stand the test at Sandown on his chase debut and now tackling his first handicap over hurdles; could go well. |

28th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Won British maiden point by 7l on debut in April 2023; absent until second this season in maiden hurdles here (near 2m4f) and at Ascot (extended 2m5f) before easily going one better when 8-13 at Hereford (3m2f); last two of those (his best form) were on good to soft, unraced on good; perhaps more of a staying prospect but he's promising. |

Verdict
On bare form TOMMY THE TANK holds the best chance, narrowly ahead of Not So Woolly who wasn’t far behind the selection last time and warrants respect in this rematch. Libre De Choeur is a solid third choice.[Steve Boow]
