Ex-Noel Williams; 18-1 winner over 3m here in April (good; second dead-heated next time); up 5lb; interesting. |

Won a 3m Perth handicap last term (good); comes into the reckoning following two sound runs last month when third over 2m6f here (good; form sound) and when second over 3m at Perth (good). |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

C&D winner off 3lb lower last June (good); clear of the remainder when 3.5l third in a decent race at Kelso last time (2m5f, good; winner went on to win 2m Scottish Champion Hurdle); has won on soft; interesting contender. |

Runner-up off this mark over C&D (good to soft) in November; however, this inconsistent 9yo has won just two of his 27 starts and was down the field at Musselburgh later in November when last seen; others appeal more. |

Beat Coylton King (runs in the 5.40) at Ayr (3m, soft) last month, but well held off this 5lb higher mark last time; wouldn't rule out. |

6th 6 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Contesting only his second handicap when the well-backed winner of a 3m soft-ground handicap at Ayr, where he was going away at the finish; up 5lb and they claimed 7lb last time so has more on his plate at these weights, but he looks an improver. |

Unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was safely held when fourth on last month's handicap debut here (2m4f, soft) and needs today's longer trip to unlock improvement. |

Ex-Irish; bettered his first run for Olly Murphy when 3.5l fourth in a 3m handicap at Wincanton last time (good); has won on soft ground; chance. |

4th 10 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Largely out of form for an Irish stable last year and ought to have coped better with the soft ground when well-held fourth behind Mr Griffiths on last month's stable debut at Warwick (3m2f); sports refitted cheekpieces today, though, and may yet stage a revival for Olly Murphy. |

Thorough stayer whose last win was at Ayr in February 2025 (3m, soft); several good runs since, including when second at Carlisle last month; each-way chance. |
12/1 |

6th 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Strike-rate of 2-30; has a chance on her second at Carlisle last time (3m1f, good to soft) having also finished runner-up at Ayr in January (3m, heavy); each-way chance. |

Won twice over 3m-plus last season, the first time over 3m2f on good to soft at Kelso; has run a couple of fair races this term and has a chance on her best form with a visor replacing cheekpieces. |

10st 9lb |
Not beaten that far when sixth of eight on last month's handicap debut at Kelso (2m5f, good) but raced too freely (not for the first time) and was well beaten when upped to 3m at Perth three weeks later; drops back to 2m here; others look safer. |

7th 11 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unexposed maiden who needs to improve on her sixth in a mares' handicap at Kelso on her handicap debut last time (2m5f, good); can pull hard so step up to 3m may not be ideal and 2lb out of the handicap. |
20/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Makes handicap debut off basement mark, which provides her with a first realistic opportunity; watch the betting, but she's shown little at triple-figure odds across her three hurdle starts. |

11st 8lb |
Won a 3m novice handicap hurdle at Ayr in March 2025 (soft; cheekpieces on for first time); best run since when second at Catterick in February (3m1f, good to soft) but well held in valuable race at Musselburgh last time; each-way chance. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Following wind surgery he left this season's form well behind to finish a clear second at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) last month; he can be involved if backing up that latest effort; a visor replaces cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

11st 6lb |
Has won over hurdles for three different yards, most recently at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July, but he's been pulled up in three starts for this stable and drops into a seller with masses to find at the weights. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Worcester winner for Ben Pauling last July (2m7f, good) but has been pulled up on both starts for Victor Thompson since, the first in a point, the second in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle; bit to prove. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |

With Ben Pauling when taking advantage of a light weight at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; changed hands soon after; pulled up on comeback at Friars Haugh (2m4f point; first time over fences); better to look elsewhere. |

10st 2lb |
Fair third in a Newcastle handicap hurdle in January (2m7f, heavy) but well behind Ck O'Mara at Ayr next time (3m, soft); reverts to hurdles after failing to finish in two runs over fences (running creditably on first occasion). |
20/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Mistakes eventually caught up with him when he fell three out on last month's chase debut over C&D (soft); however, he was in second at the time and could play a leading role if first-time cheekpieces help his jumping. |
9/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Maiden who hasn't proved easy to catch right over hurdles this term, beating one in 3m Ayr handicap 18 days ago; starts out over fences today and others appeal more. |
