10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Beaten in one run for Nicky Henderson but now 3-3 for current yard after coming from the clouds in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham last month (3m, soft); that win seemed unlikely when out the back for much of the race, and even two out he had more in front than behind him; evidently a strong stayer but this flatter, sharper course could ask different questions of him. |

Had one run for Nicky Henderson; 2-2 for current yard, comfortably accounting for a notable rival (fourth in Tuesday's Fred Winter) at Exeter (good to soft) before winning easily again under a penalty at Carlisle (soft); brings a lower profile than many, having taken the back roads to Cheltenham, but he's a dark one; there is stamina in his pedigree, which is just as well when his wins have been at about 2m1f. |

11st 10lb |
Point-to-point winner landed odds on hurdles debut in 2m3f Naas maiden and has contested Grade 1 novices' since, plenty keen when third over 2m4f at same venue and much better form in 22-runner 3m Albert Bartlett, travelling much better and would have gone very close but for hanging left run-in when beaten 1.5l (soft); that probably wasn't the strongest renewal but improving 6yo has to be considered a major player here. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Winning 3m pointer on slow ground and second in a bumper on yielding; both hurdle runs on soft or heavy; it was a very winnable maiden he was found in November but he then ran quite well in a 2m4f Grade 1 at Naas, surprisingly staying on again for third having raced with the choke out early doors; retains potential, and especially over this trip, provided he settles. |

Pedigree doesn't exactly scream stamina but he did win a 3m point and his trainer believes this race will suit him; all his rules form is at up to 2m3f, over which he beat Doctor Du Mesnil in a small field at Punchestown last time (heavy); doesn't have a lot to find with Thedeviluno on an early-season maiden clash; seems able on all ground; respected. |

Point winner who ran well in defeat in bumpers at top tracks before selling for £115,000 at the David Maxwell dispersal sale; they were easy pickings at Ludlow (2m5f) and Ascot (2m3f; again good to soft; favourite both times) but he confirmed himself high class (as his trainer had indicated) when fourth to Johnny's Jury in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham, where he was in the firing line throughout and fared best of those who raced prominently; provided that race hasn't left a mark then he's of major interest. |

Runner-up in a 3m point and ran well in defeat in bumpers at top tracks before selling for £115,000 at the David Maxwell dispersal sale; has looked well above average in justifying market confidence over hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f) and Ascot (extended 2m3f; again on good to soft); Ben Pauling considers him one of his better novices; can't be taken lightly with this longer trip a probable plus. |

Point/bumper winner; won easily under no-nonsense rides from the front at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) and Punchestown (2m3f, heavy) and now tackles his toughest test yet with a dangerously unexposed profile; on running style and most definitely on pedigree, the step up to 3m looks a major plus. |

Tongue tied the last twice; completed his hat-trick in a 2m4f Grade 2 at Cheltenham on Trials' Day (soft; fine on good) but only sixth in the Albert Bartlett; however, he ran well for a long way in fairness only to wilt up the hill and this flatter track could be a better fit; not ruled out. |

Has left his bumper form behind over hurdles and completed his hat-trick in a 2m4f Grade 2 here on Trials' Day (first run in a tongue-tie; soft; fine on good); however, that was by the skin of his teeth and in a race that hasn't been that influential when it comes to the Festival; however he fares, he'll be a nice chaser next year. |

Point (3m) and bumper winner who showed promise in Grade 2s on first two hurdle starts (including on soft ground) before winning a maiden by 7l at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) last month; there's stamina in his useful pedigree and he's a leading contender for his top yard. |

Won the bumper at this meeting 12 months ago and went on to finish second at Ascot (beaten 14l in a Listed) and Kempton (again good to soft) where he narrowly missed out to one who could turn out very good; interesting that his top trainer aims this high on hurdling debut. |

0-4 in bumpers but 2-3 over hurdles and wasn't seen to best effect in the defeat, when held up last in a Grade 2 at Navan that Doctor Steinberg dominated up front; it was over 2m that he accounted for the smart Skylight Hustle at Gowran and yet the further he went the better he looked in winning the 3m Grade 2 River Don at Doncaster (soft); his trainer has had horses run well in this before; major player. |

This 6yo is a big lad with a bright future ahead of him; it's unlikely that Windsor played to his strengths when well behind Moneygarrow and he then stayed on much the best in a Newbury novice last month (extended 2m4f, soft); however, that latest race had no depth and the odds-on favourite wasn't on his game; this is a huge hike in class. |

His bumper form was nothing to shout about but he's gone 3-3 over hurdles; it wasn't a strong Grade 1 he won at the Dublin Racing Festival (2m6f, heavy; won on good) but he bombed clear to win it by some 8l despite taking a firm grip, and his previous defeat of Thedeviluno looks all the better now; there's a nagging concern that his keen-going tendencies might come at a cost in this race, but other than that he's solid. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner; only second run over hurdles when third behind No Drama This End (runner-up also a class act) in Cheltenham Grade 2 in November (2m5f, soft); defeated at odds-on in very testing conditions in course maiden; pulled up in the Albert Bartlet; rated 130 and one to beat. |

3m point winner kept to shorter trips thus far under rules; only his second run over hurdles when a running-on third behind No Drama This End (runner-up is also a class act) in a 2m5f Grade 2 here in November (soft) and perhaps it's best to forgive his odds-on defeat on desperately tiring ground in a maiden at Limerick last time; remains a maiden but so too was Minella Indo who won this race for the same yard in 2019; makes the shortlist. |

By a Derby winner and there's lots of stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree; unraced beyond 2m2f under rules (did win a 3m point); maiden winner who was turned over at 8-11 last time, but in a messy race won by the classy Sober; he wouldn't be the first horse representing these connections to deliver a clear career best in this race. |

11st 12lb |
Half-brother to winners Classic Theatre (bumper and useful 2m-2m4f hurdler/chaser) and Miss Sassie (2m hurdle/2m4f chase); dam bumper winner, half-sister to high-class 2m4f-3m chaser Joncol; point-to-point winner last season for Cormac Doyle and having been touched off on bumper debut at Limerick in December went one better following month in similar contest (heavy); obvious appeal now sent hurdling. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
3m point winner on soft; he was 1-6 for his novice win in December (just under 3m on good to soft) and it was a laboured effort last time behind Thedeviluno at Doncaster; he's not crying out to be backed. |

Has raced only twice under rules and easily justified favouritism at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) on the latest occasion; very unexposed and could make his mark at this higher level; interesting. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Half-brother to useful Irish jumper Dime A Dozen; off the mark in Irish points at third attempt, with wide-margin win on soft ground in March, and will need to be taken seriously if strong in the betting before this rules debut. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
When a wide-margin Listed race winner at Doncaster it was against her own sex and very few in that eight-runner race appeared to handle the deteriorating conditions; went off 50-1 for the Albert Bartlett and performed accordingly; 3-6 over hurdles and she's a contender with her sights lowered. |

Record of 3-5 over hurdles; no mare has won this race but few have tried and The Big Westerner was runner-up 12 months ago; however, although a wide-margin winner at Doncaster last time, that was against her own sex and very few in that eight-runner race appeared to handle the conditions; reservations. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Wouldn't be without hope judged on her near-miss at this level at Haydock in December (2m3f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and doubt she was seen to best effect when scraping home at Fontwell (2m1f); behind a couple of these at Warwick (2m3f) but heavy ground might not have suited (withdrawn previously on account of those conditions) and she also lost a shoe. |
