19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |

1st 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Just one win from her 28 starts and she needs to prove her stamina, but she's on a competitive mark on her Flat form last August/September and she ran pretty well over hurdles three weeks ago; trainer won this last year. |

Best run since going handicapping when 17l fourth of 12 over this C&D on good to soft four weeks ago; more needed; has an each-way chance. |

Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham and nearly won again at Kelso ten days ago when headed on the run-in; same mark. |

2nd 6 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham last year, latest in August; close third over same C&D last time and worth considering. |

3rd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Didn't run badly in a low-grade Flat marathon last month but he ended the last jumps season with two disappointing runs (both 2m4f) and has a bit more to prove than some of these. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well beaten over hurdles on his last two starts but hasn't run badly on his last two Flat outings (1m4f/2m, AW) and his trainer has won two of the last six runnings of this race; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Scored twice over hurdles (at about 2m4f) in 2024-25 but has failed to fire this term and beat just two in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap hurdle ten days ago; others appeal more. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won two in a row on the Flat (2m1f/2m, soft) last autumn and running well when falling three out on hurdle debut in December; always in rear back on the Flat last month but that came after a 109-day break and she could leave than run behind this afternoon. |
13/2 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won her last two Flat starts in the autumn (2m1f/2m, soft) and she was running well when falling three out on her hurdle debut at Fontwell in December; this is her first run since and she's struggled on AW previously, but she could be a different proposition now; wears first-time hood; could go well. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden who's been turned over as favourite on four of his last six starts, two of them over C&D (behind Angelardo in March), and also behind Lady Phoebe at Pontefract; will be happier back on Tapeta. |
3/1 |
|
5th 6 (12) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-11 but he's run some good races at up to an extended 2m on AW since joining this yard and he's dropped some hints that he could be suited by this extreme test of stamina. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden; placed in three of his five starts since joining this stable but he's been tailed off in the other two, including at Southwell (2m, AW) 47 days ago; needs to put that behind him. |

8st 11lb |
Over 6l behind Zephlyn over C&D last May; some fair form since (won over 2m at Wolverhampton in October) but not quite at her best back on turf last twice (over 2m5f and 1m4f); place chance. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Not at her best over hurdles or here (extended 2m5f) last month; drop in trip can help but others appeal more for win purposes. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |

Below her best over hurdles 16 days ago but runner-up on the Flat at Newcastle (2m, AW) last month; consistent in this code last August-October and she's shaped as though this test of stamina could suit; on the shortlist. |

Useful in Ireland in his younger days but been poor under both codes for this yard for a good while; tailed off behind two of these at Pontefract last time. |

He's dropped to a basement mark but his sole win came in 2020 and this 9yo struggled to get competitive last year; first run since last October. |
