26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Just the one good run over hurdles this season, having missed all of 2024 and most of 2025; however, she was nominated as a future chaser by her trainer back in 2023 and she's not discounted in first-time cheekpieces on this first outing over fences. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who had wind surgery prior to a resurgent effort at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last week; due to go back up 1lb in future and remains particularly well treated on peak performance, namely a success off 7lb higher in 2023 (sole attempt over 2m2f); respected. |

2nd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Just her second handicap when she beat 15 others to win at Stratford (2m2f, soft; 50-1) in late 2023; two-year absence followed and she hasn't threatened in two starts this term; 7lb below that winning mark and the tongue-tie goes on following wind surgery but she'd be of interest only with market support. |

Looks interesting on his best form last season including a close call at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft), but he has patchy record and his sole win was four years ago; probably best watched back from 234 days off. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f course winner in early part of last season; returned from five-month break with low-key run here 18 days ago but is versatile regarding ground and his current mark is workable; can feature if that recent outing brought him on. |
7/1 |

6th 8 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All of his three victories have been at Fontwell including two chase wins over an extended 2m5f (good to soft); beaten 9l when runner-up here in December but that was behind an improver and he's still lightly raced in this sphere; respected back in trip on his return. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Course hurdle winner last summer (2m1f, good), having made most of the running; held up in rear and never looked dangerous when fourth of six on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (2m3f, good) but that was his first run since the autumn and a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light here. |

11st 9lb |
Won two soft-ground chases (both 2m3f) in early 2025 and has posted some good efforts in defeat this season; looked laboured and was below form here (2m, soft) last month but can be dangerous off current mark if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won three times last season on soft/heavy ground; runner-up on first three starts this term then fifth at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago when three places behind Royal Mer; today's forecast slow ground could aid her cause. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break. |

0-9 under rules and was pulled in his last two handicaps (2m7f/3m) last winter before a well-held second back in a point in April; now returns to hurdling after another break; plenty to prove but has joined a yard that has done well this season; market watch needed. |

Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season (once here) but was pulled up on final two starts for him and failed to build upon his satisfactory stable debut when tailed-off third in small-field contest last month (first-time blinkers); sports refitted cheekpieces here; has a point to prove. |

Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season (2m3f/2m5f); left that stable after two disappointing runs in the winter but was respectable fourth for new stable at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May and has possibilities if aided by first-time blinkers here. |
