19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-6 in chases, with that win also coming over this C&D (2m6f, gd-yld); clearly likes it here but lacks a run and remains 4lb above her last chase win. |

Two-time winner over timber on soft ground; 0-10 in chases and rated 9lb lower in this sphere but hasn't looked like a winner in waiting on most recent chase starts; beaten 38l in a handicap hurdle at Naas latest; did run well here over 2m4f last April but he would prefer softer ground. |

Two wins over hurdles on soft; 0-9 over fences since January 2024 which has resulted in connections trying hurdles again; looks fairly treated on the pick of his form in this sphere but he's risky. |

C&D winner; last scored in September 2023 but back to form with a 1.25l second at Clonmel on latest; raised 3lb for that but is still 10lb below his last success; C&D form figures read 41343; leading claims. |

One of two for yard; last of three wins came at Listowel in 2023; fourth on both starts for this stable at this venue over 3m but beaten 31l (on heavy) and 52l (on yielding); on a dangerous mark now, however, and cheekpieces might provide a spark. |

Three wins all at 3m, most recently at Listowel festival in 2023; back down to competitive mark on evidence of clear second over same trip at Limerick in October; following month in contention when brought down two out at this venue; well beaten fourth on yard debut at Clonmel. |

11st 10lb |
Had a charmed spell for new yard earlier, five wins including one over C&D (good; also acts on soft); has run up to form only once in his last four starts though, following a revival at Fakenham last month with a tailed-off run at Windsor, and is still 6lb higher than the latest win. |

Four class 5 wins shared between hurdles and fences since joining James Owen, hacking up in a Newton Abbot chase latest (3m2f, good to soft); a fifth race in 25 days, a step back up in class and most significantly an additional 20lb hike all ask different questions this time. |

Revitalised 8yo who started off for James Owen with two hurdle wins in refitted visor this month (2m5f/2m4f) and barely came off the bridle when scoring by 12l over fences at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on Tuesday; has further to go here but has good chance to extend winning spree under 7lb penalty. |
