10st 9lb |
Got off the mark under rules when jumping well in a Newcastle handicap chase (2m7f, good) 13 months ago; off the track for 348 days prior to her return over that C&D last month, when easy to back and beaten 23l; well treated back on her winning mark and could come on for her reappearance. |

Winning Irish pointer in April 2024 (3m, good); unexposed under rules, getting off the mark when scoring over C&D on chase debut last March; hasn't run since; only 3lb higher and could go well. |

Won a novice hurdle in December (2m6f, good); 0-7 as a pointer but travelled well when runner-up on chase debut back at Newcastle (2m7f) and can build on that. |

10st 2lb |
Has some useful hurdle/chase form on his CV but yet to add to his Irish maiden hurdle win in 2019 and getting long in the tooth now; well beaten over hurdles this month; headgear switched for chase return; 4lb wrong. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; has won over hurdles and fences but she needs to get back on track. |

10st 2lb |
2-31 over hurdles (soft/heavy) but the losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; the latest of those came at Hereford just eight days ago and she's out of the weights again. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (about 2m7f) and once over fences (2m4f) in Feburary 2025, all in the mud; beaten at least 20l on all completions this season, she's opposable despite her fall in the weights. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Posted some good efforts when cheekpieces were added towards the end of last season, perhaps most notably when second at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, and his run at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better than eventual 33l defeat suggests; one to consider. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

0-16 under rules but posted some pretty good efforts in cheekpieces towards end of last season, most recently when second from out of the weights at Kelso (2m4f, good) one month ago; can make his presence felt off correct mark here. |

Won maiden hurdle in January 2023; however, this 10yo is 0-15 since and hasn't shown enough of late to suggest he's the one to be on today. |

Won a Musselburgh maiden hurdle for James Ewart in January 2023 (3m, soft); has run mainly over fences since (beaten 20l when third of five at Sedgefield last time); hard to know how he will fare now back hurdling. |

Corbridge point winner (2m4f) for Brian Harding; essentially disappointing since switched to racing under rules and has lacked for fluency in two attempts over fences; competes from an easing mark in a weak race. |
