22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
All chase wins around 2m4f, including win at this meeting last year; Newbury specialist who landed fourth win at that track when bagging valuable handicap for second time on penultimate start; never won off a mark this high and drop back down to 2m also asks a question but he's impossible to rule out. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Back to something like his best last time, registering a second success in the Greatwood Gold Cup and taking C&D record to 4-6; won this contest in 2023 and 2024; back up the weights but commands respect kept to a scenario that suits him ideally. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 3-5 at Newbury features a success in this contest two years ago; proved no match for Twinjets in most recent course start and was a faller in last two handicap attempts (out of depth in Grade 1 since); however, holds a major chance off current mark provided he's in top form. |

Should be vulnerable at these weights but at least he comes here on the back of a solid effort in defeat in a 3m2f heavy-ground handicap at Kelso; mostly consistent last season as well. |

Scored over 2m7f on heavy ground here in January and was close/clear second on good ground over that trip here in May; made low-key reappearance here (2m5f) last month but might have needed that outing and will be better suited by today's longer trip; shortlisted. |

In-form 8yo who scored at Bangor (3m, good) last month and is now 2-3 since cheekpieces were refitted in April; back up to his career-high mark today but still respected in current mood. |

It was effectively a 0-125 in which he was a solid fourth at Uttoxeter last time, and he's back at the same easier level as his win at Kelso (2m7f, good) previously; chance. |

11st 4lb |
Thorough stayer who made all at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February and rebounded from a lesser effort when third at Perth (3m, good) last month; has never run here before but is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip. |

28th Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |

Out-and-out staying veteran; placed on all four starts last season in a light campaign, winning at Catterick (3m1f) in December before finishing a good second, off this mark, back there (3m6f) the following month; respected but his record back from a break suggests he'll likely need his first outing since January. |

Ended long losing run with an easy win here (3m1f, soft) a fortnight ago; on that evidence his claims shouldn't be dismissed off today's 8lb higher mark, but this 11yo is in a tougher race and is unproven at the trip. |

Versatile type who has won three times over fences including at 2m and 3m; now 4lb lower than for his last success 12 months ago but he's been pulled up in last two runs (fences/hurdles) and needs to turn things around; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Took advantage of a reduced mark on his second run after wind surgery when making all to score by 12l at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) last month; back up 7lb in the weights but he remains well treated on his best form and is versatile ground-wise; major player again. |

Hurdle/chase winner for Brian Ellison; decent second in Newbury chase on stable debut (2m4f, good to soft) but well beaten at Southwell last time (3m, good); has run well at 3m; likely to be sharper for the run following a break. |

Carlisle specialist; sits close to a career-high mark following a gritty win there (2m, good to soft) in February; "never travelling and jumped poorly" in the Monet's Garden Series Final there three weeks ago; bit to prove for the time being, even acknowledging a 2024 C&D win. |

Won here (2m4f, good) in October and followed up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); below par at Newcastle and Wetherby since and arrives with something to prove, but he's back on his last winning mark and ten visits to Carlisle have yielded five wins (various ground); not ruled out now back here. |
