17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Returned from break with pretty good fourth at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) 12 days ago and will presumably be ridden positively again over this shorter trip but he's just 1-14 over fences and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

11st 9lb |
Absent since respectable fourth at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May but made all over C&D (good to soft) when fresh just under a year ago and could be primed to attempt something similar. |

2m6f winner at Stratford last October; another good run to be fourth at Ludlow in January (2m4f) but bit below that level since, last time sent to France. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has bettered his winning hurdle form when runner-up on all three starts over fences; his latest effort at Kempton over Christmas is solid form and he can get off the mark over the larger obstacles now. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced and has mixed record over hurdles since winning Irish point debut in January 2023; scored on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft; first run after wind surgery) in April and will be fine on the quicker surface; very unexposed at about 3m and switches to chasing with significant potential. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Became disappointing for Harry Fry; competitive form over hurdles and fences for current yard but he bled three runs back and couldn't hang in there at Exeter (2m3f, good) last time; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-8 over fences and is untried at this trip. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-5 over fences but three times runner-up in this discipline and latest Warwick conqueror (3m5f, good to soft) was completing a hat-trick; likely to run well off an untouched mark. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Ran poorly dropped back to 2m4f at Sandown last time but consistent otherwise and has shown clear signs that he's capable of winning a chase; possibly open to improvement at this new trip and one to consider. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Soundly beaten when just 17-2 at last year's Festival (2m4f); finally opened his chase account in November, before staying-on fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) where he was badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; 13l win at Sandown (3m, soft; made most) on latest outing confirmed he's got his act together, which earned a 7lb rise but he needs respect. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Opened his chase account on reappearance, then did well to finish fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) having badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; lost chance with bad mistake four out when beaten favourite at Ascot since; remains of interest, assuming he puts in an error-free round. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has the best hurdles form in this field and his good efforts (twice runner-up) over fences last season were even better; however, he was below form in first-time cheekpieces on penultimate outing and failed to complete on starts either side, the latest 11 days ago; that dents his case today (in returning cheekpieces) but he is the standout on form. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Four chase wins in the second half of last year (3m/3m2f) and he regained the winning thread at Perth (3m, good) ten days ago following a break; had nearly 4l to spare and he's much respected off 6lb higher here. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won four times over fences last season from 3m to 3m2f, the second win coming in this race; the handicapper soon got hold him but a couple of his runs this year were fairly encouraging; back from a break, he could easily run well. |
6/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |

11-race maiden over hurdles but has made the frame in all four starts at this track; tailed off at Fontwell recently following a four-month break but the return to this track could see her back to her best. |

Ran game race from the front when close third of six at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in June but we haven't seen her again since and she's 0-10 over hurdles now; others appeal more. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made quite promising start to chase career in spring but now reverts to hurdling after lesser effort last month; all recent form is over 3m but she can cope with today's drop back in trip and her current mark is workable. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who was a 10l second on chase debut at Bangor (3m, good) in April and produced another fair run when third behind two improving rivals there (3m, good) last time; might not be far away. |

Verdict
Carrigmoorna Rowan (second best) sets a fair standard with the form of his third at Worcester working out nicely and Pic Roc showed plenty in his three bumpers. Still, Nicky Henderson appears to have yet another wave of promising youngsters coming through and his Irish point recruit BECTIVE ABBEY could be another.[Alistair Jones]
