11st 8lb |
Last season's best hurdle form included a 3m win on good ground but below that level so far this campaign; latest run was a tad more encouraging. |

Below par on last two hurdle starts but may have needed recent run; on a competitive mark on last season's best hurdle form (won over 3m on good ground) and this 6yo showed ability in a point-to-point in May 2022; interesting contender on chase debut. |

Musselburgh winner off 5lb lower in November and fair efforts since; could go well but has his quirks (refused to line up and was withdrawn at Musselburgh last time). |

12st 0lb |
Placed off 1lb higher at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January but the rest of last season's form was disappointing and this is first start since February; others have much stronger claims. |

10st 3lb |
Has produced a couple of fair efforts in defeat, including a 10l third over C&D in this headgear combination in December 2024, but subsequent runs were disappointing; returns from a lengthy absence with major questions to answer. |

21st May 2024 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Gave a good account when runner-up at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft; same mark) in December but has failed to stake any kind of claim at Sedgefield or Southwell subsequently; the percentage call is to focus on less-exposed rivals. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |
25/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
1-38 over hurdles, the win gained at Hexham (2m, good) last May; his good days have become infrequent, though, and he's 3lb out of the weights today; not the percentage call. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap. |

2m7f course winner (good) over hurdles; hard to make a strong case for on his chase debut based on any recent form in either code. |

Sole win came over hurdles; ran dismally in that sphere the last twice; unconvincing record on Flat and not seen under this code for two years. |
