11st 4lb |
Got up on the line at Kelso (3m2f) in May 2025 on second start for Paul Robson, opening her rules account; made the running when well beaten behind Maillot Blanc in this race last year, however, and not seen since; has changed hands and now has first run for Adam Nichol, with a tongue-tie (tried twice in 2024) restored. |

Irish point winner in March (3m, yielding) when with Peter Fahey; creditable 3l fifth off this mark in a mares' novice handicap hurdle on stable debut here last time (2m5f, good); this looks harder, but a possible. |

10st 13lb |
Won a bumper in May 2024; 0-15 as a hurdler for Gillian Boanas but had his share of seconds and thirds, including over 3m; £12,500 sale in March was quickly followed by wind surgery and, although usual headgear is dispensed with, new trainer Dan Skelton has something to work with; one to note. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Lost out in a tight finish over C&D (soft) in December and creditable third to Big Storm Brewing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; fine on good ground) on latest outing; hurdles score has gone to 0-14, though. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Sedgefield bumper winner (2m1f, good) in May 2024; runner-up (beaten 2l) in a division of this last year, and lost out in a tight finish at Musselburgh (3m) in December; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) next time; must enter the thinking in a weak race. |

10st 3lb |
Course regular who looked as good as ever when keeping on strongly from off the pace for clearcut C&D (good) win ten days ago; 6lb higher in a stronger race today but can make his presence felt again. |

1st 5 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Perth regular, with three course wins, including from 3lb higher in this last year; plugged on from an impossible position to finish a modest third over C&D (Creadan Grace fifth) 25 days ago; he's into the twilight of his career, so others make more appeal. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
This race in 2024 is among his three Perth wins from 23 visits; latest win was last July over C&D again from 2lb higher than today and that was his second run after a break, the same scenario which presents itself today; needs a second look but others are preferred for the win. |

10st 2lb |
0-17 as hurdler but plenty of minor honours, including C&D; needs to improve upon last month's fourth at Hexham but that was his first run for 400 days, so he may well build on that; case can be made off career-low mark. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Has produced a couple of fair efforts in defeat, including a 10l third over C&D in this headgear combination in December 2024, but subsequent runs were disappointing; returns from a lengthy absence with major questions to answer. |

Narrow Down Royal winner (3m, good to yielding) last October, prior to career-best third at Ascot (3m;) the following month; less competitive in 2026, beaten 26l over C&D latest; cheekpieces fitted with renewed spark needed. |
6/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Upped to 3m for a last-gasp win in 20-runner race at Down Royal in October; respectable fourth of 18 under James Smith at Punchestown (again 3m on good to yielding) last month confirms her in serious calculations. |

Won three times under Sean Bowen (once over C&D) in 2025; well below best on all four appearances this year but has slipped to a good mark and the champion jockey evidently still has faith in him; revival possible. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year, off today's mark over C&D on last occasion; out of form on last four outings, however, and a major revival is needed on this second start after wind surgery; tongue-tie (last used in 2024) returns. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

This is her handicap debut and a major step up in trip, but there have been signs of only a little ability; tongue tied on latest start and a hood (tried four starts back, pulled up) is reinstated. |

Kept on to account for Thehairyfella over C&D (soft) last October; fortunes have dipped markedly since and he weakened quickly when beaten 45l over C&D (hurdle) latest; wind surgery and an added tongue-tie could prompt a revival from what is a workable mark; consult the market. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

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. |

Won this race last term and better form this spring, all on good ground; dead-heated for first at Kelso (2m5f) last time, which has pushed him up 3lb to his highest mark since 2024 but he looks much more likely than most of these to give his running; should be thereabouts. |
