Won over fences here (3m2f, good) for Barry Brennan last summer and has posted a couple of good efforts in that sphere this season; reverts to hurdling off lower mark for new stable here; could have a say. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Winning pointer who was making it 17th-time lucky under rules when beating Zoffalee over C&D (good) nine days ago; 1lb wrong there so 6lb higher under his penalty, but even so with conditions likely to be similar he has to make the shortlist. |

On a good mark and the signs were more encouraging when fourth over 2m7f at Worcester three weeks ago (behind McGregors Charge); seems to be running into form after an absence. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win remains a dead-heat in a Welsh maiden point in 2022, but second in this race in 2023 and there was some encouragement to take from this month's Warwick fourth on his second outing following a sizeable layoff. |

Not much went to plan on his three starts for for Warren Greatrex in the spring but he looked in excellent nick when winning easily by 8l at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; likely contender off 10lb higher mark here. |

11st 10lb |
Progressive 9yo who returned from a break with small-field win at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April and also ran well when second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; significant rain will dent his appeal here but otherwise he may still have more improvement to come. |

Beat Lough Salt by (5lb better off) by 2.5l when winning over C&D last month (3m, good); didn't jump that well when third at Fontwell last time (2m3f, good to soft); return to 3m will suit. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up over hurdles here (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) on latest rules start last June and competes off a 10lb lower mark today, but his chasing strike-rate is 0-11 and this year's point form is uninspiring. |
8/1 |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |

Hasn't been pulling up any trees in his recent chases following a lengthy absence but he is 2-6 over hurdles and well handicapped should the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) have some impact. |

Two fair runs at Hexham last September but poor efforts since and plenty to prove from 2lb out of the handicap. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Tailed off over hurdles a month ago on return from a break; second in a Hexham chase last September (in first-time cheekpieces) and needs blinkers to have a similar effect if he's to gain a first win over fences. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close in 16-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July, her second run since returning to racing under rules; below that form when well-held fourth over C&D since but has cheekpieces refitted today; can't be ruled out. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Made low-key return to racing under rules in June but last month's close second of 16 behind Cinderello in refitted cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was a good effort; goes without cheekpieces here but still features prominently in calculations. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 10 |
16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Runner-up in four consecutive points this year; made low-key rules return/stable debut three weeks ago (2m4f) but will be suited by today's move back up in trip, and the refitted cheekpieces may also aid her cause. |
