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. |

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. |

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). |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
He can make mistakes and may be better over further, but he won two in a row last autumn (2m7f, good/good to soft) and was back on song when runner-up here (3m, good) three weeks ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since); good third here (3m, good to soft) yesterday; could be in the mix. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Completed a double with win at Kelso (3m, good to soft; 11-4) last November; wasn't fluent - has been a theme - but bounced back to form in reapplied cheekpieces when chasing home Inis Oirr over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 2lb higher with James Bowen taking over in the saddle; likely candidate. |

2nd 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won novice handicaps over this trip at Newcastle (good) and Kelso (good to soft) earlier in the season; not in quite such good form since but excuses for heavy defeat at Newcastle last time (bad mistake five out); not out of it. |

11st 13lb |
Won a handicap chase over 3m here in April 2025; fair form over fences last season (third over 3m here in April) and could go well on first hurdles run since February 2025; cheekpieces now tried. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this race in first-time blinkers off a pound lower mark 12 months ago (good to soft); hasn't run quite as well in three starts this season and now tried in a visor; a possible. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Better could have been expected at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month but a case can be made on her earlier form, with a win at Perth (3m, good to soft) last April and an encouraging second on her comeback at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) in February; not written off. |

11st 0lb |
Back on track to a certain extent when fourth switched to fences at Perth latest (3m, good), shaping as if further still is required; longer trip all to the good and is now 20lb lower than this time last year. |

4th 10 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien last season; has fared less well for new yard and, having been pulled up wearing headgear on last three starts, has plenty to prove on her chase debut (no headgear this time). |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Winning hurdler (2m4f, heavy) who has shown promise in defeat over 2m4f on his two chase starts (soft); now steps up to 3m for first time under rules (was second in a 3m point). |
11/4 |

3rd 5 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) last February on second handicap hurdle start and it was his first run since when an encouraging second of four on chase debut at Bangor last month (2m4f, soft; albeit no match for the winner); open to improvement over fences and could play a leading role. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 5 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced and career-best form in winning a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (heavy) when last seen 12 months ago; looks on a realistic mark for chase debut and he was second in an Irish point; fitness might not be an issue given the yard he represents. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-20 hurdles but made winning chasing debut over C&D (soft; 7-2, from 2lb lower) last October; well beaten on both subsequent starts, dropping out tamely once headed, finishing well behind Sir Carnegie over C&D three weeks ago; needs to rediscover a spark. |

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

Made a winning debut over fences over C&D in October (soft); bit disappointing when returning from a break when well beaten at Kelso last time (2m5f, good) but should come on for the run. |

5th 7 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat over hurdles at Perth last June-September (good/soft) prior to winning on his chase debut there (3m, soft) in October; absent since but he's unexposed over fences and could have more to offer. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

11st 0lb |
Yet to win (0-12) but consistent enough since introduced to fences (32333U); this easing mark is helpful from a handicapping perspective but he needs to brush up his jumping - last two efforts in cheekpieces unconvincing - to threaten the principals. |
6/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
11-race maiden; placed on all five starts over fences this term, although was disappointing when last of three with cheekpieces tried at Ayr last time (2m4f, soft; didn't jump well); headgear retained; each-way chance. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
0-10 under all codes but made the frame in four consecutive chases this season, the last three over 3m here (soft/heavy); interesting to see whether combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces pays dividends. |
