19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Pulled up on consecutive appearances towards end of last season but seemed to run well until tiring on soft ground at Ayr last time; could be better suited by the less-testing conditions here; not ruled out. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Tailed off (fences) and pulled up (hurdles) on his last two starts; a major turnaround is necessary but he runs off the same mark as when winning this race last year; not ruled out and the betting may be interesting. |

Ayr winner last April (3m, good to soft); disappointing both runs since, last time finishing well-beaten third of four back over fences; suited by good/good to soft ground. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Chasing when last seen in June of last year, winning a four-runner handicap at Southwell before a close third off this mark at Worcester (2m7f, good); dual winning hurdler who has his ground and fitness might not be an issue given connections. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Came good over fences at fourth attempt, in two-finisher contest at Southwell (3m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; the value of that form is quite tricky to assess but he seemed to have matters in control until idling in the home straight; only 2lb higher here and probably still has potential. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Narrow winner at Carlisle in April (2m3.5f, good; second had won two previous races); has not fared quite as well since, including with a visor tried at Uttoxeter last time; regular cheekpieces back on here but he needs to bounce back now back up in trip (stays 3m well). |

2m3f success at Carlisle in April (good), his fifth career win; not at his best the last twice and a visor replaces cheekpieces. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Five-time winner, the latest over 2m3f at Carlisle in April (good); below par when last seen out a month ago and needs to bounce back. |

C&D winner last August and his close fourth at Cheltenham three runs back was his best form yet; soft ground was no good to him on final appearance; nothing wrong with his mark. |

Ready winner over 2m7f at Market Rasen in August and he ran at least as well in defeat at Cheltenham in October but he has his share of weight now and soft ground has not been helpful so far. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Won hurdle races on very soft ground in France and a 3yo race on good at Huntingdon; ran moderately back from a break last time but did go close at Uttoxeter the time before (2m4f); could go well, though stamina for this far is unproven. |

351 days off before two runs this autumn, on second occasion showing he stays 2m4f when runner-up at Uttoxeter; he'll need a bit extra to win this, though. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful mare who has Listed form but was never going well en route to a modest third at Ascot (2m5f) when back from a layoff last time; will need to travel better in this competitive affair. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive last spring, including 3m/3m2f wins, and good second in Kempton Listed race (2m5f) in November; nearly always races on officially good ground nowadays, so good to soft may excuse a heavy defeat in December when last seen; needs to resume her progress, though, given the career-high mark. |

Returned from wind op with small-field 3m win in March and bettered that form when close second on both outings last month (2m4f/2m7f, also on good ground); major player if this new trip suits. |

Has returned from a good absence in fine form and the mare she beat narrowly over 2m7f here last month won at Stratford on Saturday; this 7yo has to go well again off 4lb higher. |

Has won two bumpers, a novice hurdle and a 2m4f handicap (on good); close third, and closing, after a mammoth absence at Ffos Las three weeks ago (2m4f, soft); needs to avoid the 'bounce' but every chance otherwise. |

Contested a competitive Class 2 on penultimate start and that was only eight days after winning at Hexham; did it comfortably last time at Southwell (3m, good) and she looks progressive all of a sudden; up 8lb but William Maggs takes away 5lb of that. |

11st 4lb |
Gained three of his five hurdle wins at this track (2m4f/2m7f) but looked out of sorts and was pulled up here (2m4f, good to soft) on recent chasing debut; should be fine over today's trip but needs to rebound. |
