11st 11lb |
About 6l and 2l too good for Presentandcounting at Catterick (3m1f, good) and Walkin Out at Ludlow (2m4f, good) respectively back in March, but two subdued efforts when as much in his favour since to forgive. |

12st 6lb |
Won small-field hunter chases on good ground at Catterick (3m1f) and Ludlow (2m4f) last month; lost out to only the odds-on favourite at Kempton (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and, although the scale of his defeat was a bit worrying, his good record here (won the last three of his four visits) bolsters his chance today. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Landed maiden hunter chase at Cartmel in May 2023 and a prolific winner in points with 12 wins in that sphere; beat two rivals in a point at Stafford Cross 13 days ago and she should go close. |

2nd 5 |
30th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Cartmel maiden hunter winner two years ago at this trip, and largely irresistible in points since (has won last six, all under Anna Johnston); small bit to find with Captain Tommy on their March Ludlow clash, but in better heart than that one now and recent Cheltenham third was a tidy run. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has been well out of form since returning in September from a break and has offered little switched to hunter chases this year; now back in handicap company for his leading stable and down to a potentially workable mark, but recent efforts temper enthusiasm. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Odds-on third in this race last year before comfortably making all in Stratford hunter chase (2m1f, good) in May; hasn't got near the latter form in eight starts since September however and latest pulled up, despite attracting some support, was a third non completion in a row; others look safer. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
He was in better form when runner-up in this last year having won his previous race; very disappointing when pulled up back here just before Christmas and then unseated at Ludlow when 33-1; hard to trust right now. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Six-time point winner, most recently last May; folded tamely 11 days ago when back from a layoff; holds weak claims on rules form, as ratings reflect. |

27th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won five of 13 points, latest on soft in November; had an off day next time and although faring better when third to a classy one in an open last month, his yard has a much more obvious chance with Iskandar Pecos but this 9yo may be best of the rest. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |

Ordinary mare who trailed home last of five finishers in similar event at Taunton (hunter chase debut) most recently; again faces a stiff task on the figures. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has won two handicap chases but off very modest marks and difficult to envisage her winning this, despite a respectable latest effort between the flags. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Both wins (one here) have been recorded at 2m2f-2m3f, but today's sort of trip may now be closer to optimum judged on this summer's evidence; back below her last winning mark and not ruled out; visor added. |
