10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up at 50-1 in last year's 3m Grade 1 novice hurdle here; ran well in three of his five chases this term, notably with his easy win in a 2m5f beginners' event at Carlisle (good to soft) last time, but Cheltenham in December was one of the exceptions and he didn't jump well that day, before falling at Exeter on his next start; work to do on a few counts. |

11st 5lb |
The only one of these with chasing experience; didn't jump well when soundly beaten at Cheltenham in December and fell at Exeter latest; however, before those he ran well to finish third over C&D (good to soft) and at Kempton (3m, good) in his first two chases; major player if he's on song. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Mainly in fair form this season and can be forgiven a below-par run on testing ground at Exeter last time; these conditions suit; each-way chance with cheekpieces back on. |

3rd 3 |
20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat towards the end of 2025; 10l second of four at Carlisle 17 days ago on chase debut, showing she has some way to go before she's matching today's rivals over fences. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat against fellow mares towards the end of 2025; receives 7lb from the males today and holds leading claims if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Returned from layoff with three below-par chase/hurdle runs in February/March but, having swapped cheekpieces for blinkers, fared much better on last two appearances; lost out only by a nose after making most of the running at Warwick (3m1f, good) last time; can make another bold bid. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Back hurdling the last twice after a brief stint over fences; the first time he'd worn these aids combined when a front-running third at Wetherby (3m, good; beaten 4.25l); exposed but firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Not solid on his chase/hurdles form this year; previously a consistent sort in this sphere and has a fighting chance off current mark back down in grade, provided he's resurgent. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Comfortably won maiden hurdle at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April but hasn't cut much ice since, including on chasing debut at Carlisle earlier this month; fair bit to prove from out of the weights on handicap debut and needs first-time cheekpieces to have a positive effect. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Comfortably won maiden hurdle at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April; this point winner could be suited by the switch to fences but he's been soundly beaten in two novice hurdles this season and has something to find in today's company even if he's back to his best. |

1st 7 |
23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner; moving steadily in the right direction under rules, placed at Ayr (2m4f) most recently; possibilities, provided the improvement is sustained. |
12/1 |
