1st 5 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner who returned from break with two low-key runs in February/March; usually knocks about in lower-grade races than this but returns to this track on a workable mark (even from 3lb out of the weights) and is versatile regarding ground. |
6/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Has done all of his winning at Cartmel and Catterick; made the frame in this race 12 months ago but was beaten long way over C&D on return from layoff last time. |
25/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m5f, soft) last June and runner-up at Perth (3m, good) in September; below par at Hexham in October when last seen but a break may have helped and he can go well fresh; could be a contender on his return. |

2nd 2 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark over fences at fifth attempt, with fairly comfortable success in first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) this month; back up 7lb for that but probably still has more to offer; makes obvious appeal. |
8/13 |

1st 1 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has shown solid form in at least three of his four races over fences without winning; the handicapper has given him a chance on this return from a three-month break; both first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces go on and any improvement should see him go close. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won an Exeter maiden hurdle in October 2024 (2m2f, good to soft); best of three runs over fences when 10.5l third at Haydock last time (2m, soft; second and fourth have won since); down in grade; the one to beat. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Easily won four-runner contest at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) on stable/chase debut in January but was probably fortunate that day and not much has gone to plan since; never competitive after early jumping errors over the big Aintree fences last month and arrives here with a bit to prove; cheekpieces refitted. |
15/2 |

15th 24 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Capitalised on the favourite falling three out to win in small field at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January on stable debut and pulled up/well beaten on both runs since; hard to fancy on the face of it but his yard has an excellent record in this race over the years, so he's not a forlorn hope. |
33/1 |

5th 1 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; won two-finisher contest on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January but struggled to land a blow at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) last month; now sports cheekpieces; others have more persuasive profiles. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Getting long in the tooth now and was well beaten on latest outing in March but has a C&D win on his CV and is well handicapped on form as recent as the autumn; cannot be ruled out. |
13/2 |
|
6th 3 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
12yo whose form has been up and down since he won at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last February but he's dropped down the weights and performed respectably at Ayr (2m, heavy) in December when last seen; he could benefit from today's step back up in trip and he's in with a chance. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran; winner over C&D in February off this mark (good to soft) but hasn't been in quite the same form since; withdrawn on account of fast ground last time; further rain will suit. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Finished alone in a match race on chase debut in October; not beaten far when last of four at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in February but ran poorly over that C&D last month and needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Dual course winner over hurdles; finished alone in a match race on seasonal/chase debut in October then wasn't beaten far when last of four over C&D (good to soft) in February; eased in grade today and could still have potential over fences. |
