5th 5 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |

1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham and nearly won again at Kelso ten days ago when headed on the run-in; same mark. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham last year, latest in August; close third over same C&D last time and worth considering. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner, most recently in November 2024 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) off a 14lb higher mark than today's; has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third in a classified event at Wolverhampton 65 days ago; steps back into handicaps with claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored four times on turf in 2024; on the decline since and 0-13 on AW but he was well backed when a creditable fourth in a C&D classified event ten days ago when just behind Dash Power; big player if he can build on that. |

1m4f turf and 2m hurdle winner; same mark as when second in a small-field 2m event at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; returns to this code after defeat over hurdles latest but she has the form to be very competitive back down in trip. |

Verdict
Leicester runner-up Spider Murphy looks the most likely candidate judged on what they have achieved in their few runs so far, but ROYAL DEESIDE could be the type to produce big improvement now that he has a run under his belt. Royal Athena is third on the list, with Direct Security and Chourmo also having shown significant ability.[Richard Austen]
