13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice in points, the latest in a Mixed Open at Overton (3m, good; 3-1) in March; tailed off in the Buccleuch Cup at Kelso (3m, good; 9-1) recently, so tough to envisage him turning the tables on runner-up Phantoms Cave; cheekpieces fitted. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Third in this race last year, his only start under rules, and returns here after winning an open point at Overton (3m, good) last month; shortlisted. |

Pulled up behind Whatudoing three runs back but he's only a 6yo and has raised his game since then; had Deerstalker back in fourth when winning a recent point. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Last of four (beaten 26l) in this last year; arrives in better form this year, with back-to-back point wins at Overton (3m); however, there wasn't much depth to his latest win, with his main market rival departing at the first fence. |
11/2 |

4th 1 |
14th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair hurdler/chaser when with Ben Pauling and a good-ground point winner for new connections this year; unseated rider at sixth fence on last month's hunter chase debut but was clear second in open point at Witton Castle (good to firm) nine days ago and has a fighting chance in this. |

3rd 3 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Huntingdon maiden hurdle for Olly Murphy back in May 2022, but hasn't raced under rules since the summer of 2024; made all, turning over the odds-on favourite, in a three-runner Ladies Open at Pusk (3m, good) 18 days ago; is 2-3 under Amy Milburn. |
9/1 |
|
6th 6 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made all, reportedly benefitting from a step up in trip (to 3m1f), in a Huntingdon maiden hurdle in May 2022; absent for the best part of two years until reappearing at Kempton (seventh of ten, beaten 26l) last month; has a pedigree for chasing (runner-up in a point) but others are preferred. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |
4/5 |

1st 6 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; he's finished in the first three in two points this year and could be involved returning to rules action. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles, including from a mark of 77 at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last September; low-key in points since joining Tom Fife, failing to beat a single rival at Hornby Castle and Witton Castle; most unlikely candidate. |
40/1 |

7th 8 |
14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Stayed on best for a successful stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) with this headgear combination back on; raised a fair 5lb and gives the impression that he'll stay this far. |
2/1 |
|
9 |
21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Flat maiden who is 1-12 over hurdles and was third off 3lb higher on her final jumps run in June (2m4f, good); could go well on first run for Fergal O'Brien with a tongue-tie/cheekpieces reapplied. |
