24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who looked better than ever (in first-time cheekpieces) when readily making all in five-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m) 30 days ago; hiked up 9lb but still not taken lightly with headgear retained. |

1st 1 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Endured a sobering chase debut here in November (sole start on good) but firmly back on track on sole start since when finding only an even less exposed handicapper too good over C&D a fortnight ago (good to soft; pair 9l clear); cheekpieces added; retains plenty of upside. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Failed to complete over hurdles (pulled up) and fences (fell) in his last two starts but this lightly raced 7yo is still unexposed in handicaps and he won twice during his novice hurdle campaign; returns after 157 days off and he needs checking in market back in this sphere. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Looked better than ever when third in the Morebattle Hurdle here in February and posted a good third on the Flat at Musselburgh last month; must enter calculations in refitted cheekpieces. |

3rd 1 (11) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won this prize in 2023 and had a fruitful Flat/hurdles campaign last winter before his close fourth in this; while he did not make an impact in either of his Flat runs this winter, latest hurdles form was his best in that sphere; 8lb lower than the 2025 renewal and a case can certainly be made. |

3rd 10 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Runner-up here (2m, soft) last February and back on song when third at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) four weeks ago; he's lightly raced over hurdles and is on an attractive mark judged on his very useful Flat form, but he needs to raise his game if he's to take this. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Took this in good style 12 months ago; lightly raced since but advanced his form after nine months off when second of ten in 2m1f handicap at Killarney 15 days ago; up 4lb here but this Irish challenger rates a player. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Five hurdle wins came on goodish ground at 2m-2m4; last success came when 10l in front at Kelso last May; not at his best at Stratford next time, nor on the Flat at Galway when last seen; has won after a break before. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful dual-purpose performer; runner-up in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen last summer and arrives on the back of a good effort on the Flat at Newmarket three weeks ago; very much one to consider back in this sphere. |

8th 2 (6) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Saw daylight all too late when strong-finishing fifth in this race last year (much better than his 2024 performance in it); Meydan this January/February did not yield much (stiff tasks) but he's now 4lb lower than this time last year, too well handicapped to be ruled out; rare run in cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful on Flat and over hurdles; good second in notable summer handicap at Market Rasen on last attempt in this sphere; filled the same position, albeit comfortably beaten by Rubaud on same terms, in this contest 12 months ago; needs a personal best to go one better. |
