Dual winner here (including C&D) who was second in this in 2024; built on seasonal debut when third over C&D (soft) in December but jumped right and disappointed at Exeter last time; contender to bounce back returned to this venue. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-34 overall and 0-10 as a chaser; has been in poor form for a while (hurdling most recently) and couldn't entertain from 11lb out of the weights. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win (33 races) was on good ground here but in 2021; results over the last year have been pretty grim (latest in first-time cheekpieces) and she's now 6lb out of the handicap; unraced beyond an extended 2m5f. |

10st 3lb |
Could be given a chance based on his Bangor third (2m1f, soft) last October but not on any of his three subsequent starts; also has stamina to prove. |

14th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Placed twice off higher marks at about 2m; form has dipped since reappearance and he remains a maiden; enough to prove, including stamina, over this new trip. |

27th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Below par the last twice and particularly disappointing at Taunton last month when making it 0-10; however, perhaps the first-time hood will help and a case can be made judged on his close third at Doncaster (2m, good) last November; also effective on soft ground. |

10st 10lb |
Won two small-field points in the spring and returned to racing under rules with three respectable runs under Osian Radford this summer/autumn; probably won't be far away but others appeal more all the same. |

30th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Point/hurdles winner whose chase record is far from solid; below par back hurdling last week; however, along with stablemate Prime Pretender he's running in a first-time visor, which may help. |
4/1 |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Two wins over hurdles, one of them here and one on testing ground; hopelessly out of sorts in 2m chases this winter but he's dropped 19lb in the weights and the return to a more suitable trip, as well as the return of cheekpieces (worn for both wins) point to a better run being on the cards. |
