18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Three wins (wore cheekpieces for last two) and a second from his last four starts, all over about 3m/3m1f; unraced beyond that but there's a great deal about him which suggests that he won't really come into his own until handed a major test of stamina; he receives one today and, despite the step up in class, consequently makes serious appeal. |

1st 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Catterick, beating Paddy O'Mahler and making it two wins (3m/3m1f) from his last three starts; may improve further in the retained headgear; enters calculations. |

Won at Wetherby (3m, soft) in December on fourth chase start and bumped into useful prospect when second at Doncaster (3m, soft) last month; won on good/good to soft over hurdles; cheekpieces go on; solid claims. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
The furthest he's been was 3m2f when he rallied to win from Red Delta in a small field at Doncaster (soft; made most) in November; something amiss next time but he was back on song for second at Carlisle (3m, good to soft; probably effective on good) on latest outing, making it good runs on both his starts in cheekpieces; up 2lb but needs a close look. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Flopped badly last time when bidding for a Doncaster double but had looked open to further progress and may rebound; 1-1 in cheekpieces (hurdles win last March); not written off. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Perhaps in the grip of the assessor since the last of his four wins this term; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim may offer some help but this assignment looks difficult. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made very good progress in second half of last year, with the last two of his four wins gained over C&D (soft; also suited by good); returned from ten-week break with very respectable effort in 0-130 grade at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and might still be on the upgrade. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Veteran; C&D winner in 2021; having a good season, winning at Newcastle in January (2m7f, good to soft) and in the frame on his three runs since, last time when 9lb wrong; runs off his true mark here; could go well. |

4th 13 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Veteran who is currently in form but has come up short in this contest for the last two years and looks unlikely to make it third time lucky; well out of the weights. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

12yo who is in excellent form at present, winning over C&D in January (good to soft; 4lb out of the handicap) before finishing runner-up at Carlisle off 8lb higher last time; up another 2lb; each-way chance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |

Dual hurdle winner; has been expensive to follow over fences (0-9) and fair to say that others arrive here in better form. |
9/1 |

5th 7 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Respectable third (off 12lb higher) when favourite for this race last year but was in better form at the time; last of six finishers returned to this C&D most recently, taking chase record to 0-8. |

Brings very strong credentials to this series final, having posted sound performances over C&D (good to soft) in last two starts, comfortably defying top weight latest; 2-6 overall for current yard; respected. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Back in good form for his current yard, landing 3m handicap chase at Wetherby in December and posting a good second of seven over C&D last time; very much one to consider off an unchanged mark. |

Veteran; has won on soft ground, but seems best on good ground; fair second over C&D in October (good) but has been beaten more than 30l on his two subsequent starts. |

8th 9 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Bagged a silver medal on penultimate start but has lacked consistency otherwise this term; the 12yo faces a stiffer task in this competitive field on return from a break. |
20/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was 17 months ago and he struggled at Kelso (2m5f, good) last month; now goes back up in trip but he's not easy to predict and others are preferred; regular visor removed. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Both wins have been at Musselburgh, latest a 3m7f handicap chase in February 2024 (good to soft); struggled to win since, but is well handicapped. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Losing spell goes back to his success in the Edinburgh National two years ago and current mark reflects a decline in his form; not sure to repeat his autumn C&D effort (neck second). |

11st 3lb |
1-22; has dropped markedly in the weights over the past six months (form figures P5UP03); trainer seems to have his string in better form now, and she did rally from a tough position when modest third at Kelso (3m; good, 22-1) latest; no forlorn hope. |
9/1 |

3rd 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |

C&D winner who finished third on her final two outings last season and is well treated on that form; however, she's struggled to get competitive on her seven starts this term and has plenty to prove. |

10th 14 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

11st 13lb |
Stays thoroughly, having won the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen (3m4f) on Boxing Day and performed well in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f) in February; perhaps his heavy defeat over 3m on latest start can therefore be forgiven, particularly as he was hampered early on; considered back at 3m4f. |

3rd 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
3-10 in points; seven-race career under rules includes two handicap wins this season and there have been two notable performances over 3m3f/3m4f, including his win in the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen (good to soft) on Boxing Day last time; 11lb higher this time (including 3lb out of the handicap) but he's a strong candidate for this trip. |

2nd 5 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in December on third chase start and followed up at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft); climbing the weights but this 8yo is clearly on the up. |
