17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Prone to making a bad blunder and arrives with something to prove following heavy defeats on his last two starts; however, he hasn't been devoid of promise this season and he'll be a major player if tapping back into the promise shown when romping to victory at last season's Cheltenham Festival. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Mistakes were costly on first two runs this term and he was pulled up at Haydock (extended 3m4f, good to soft) 24 days ago; not easy to fancy on the back of that but stamina may well have been an issue and he was hugely impressive when making all by 11l in this race last March (good to soft); might take plenty of catching, even now 15lb higher, if rediscovering that same dominant form. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Respectable fifth of 14 at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) in February but well beaten at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) last month; has had a second wind op since, which needs to make a difference if he's to break his duck. |

Didn't run badly on final two starts in 2025 and continues to drop down the weights; however, pulled up at Ayr last month and now 0-12 under rules; needs to bounce back in a big way in a first-time tongue-tie. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Maiden hurdler who has come late to fences but he's shaped well on both his runs in this sphere; had a wind op before an unfortunate last of six in 2m1f Kelso handicap last month, stumbling after last when in with every chance; merits serious consideration off a 2lb lower mark. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |

9yo who is 0-8 and 2lb out of the handicap today; however, he was consistent over hurdles and ran well when fourth of seven on chase debut at Newcastle (2m, soft) in January; could be a contender if wind surgery has helped. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has taken well to fences, winning by 11l here on his chase debut (good) before finishing a clear second (again over C&D) last time; went up 9lb for his win and another 4lb for latest run but is one with a chance. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Returned from break with career-best performance this month, drawing clear to win by 11l over C&D (good) on chasing debut; 9lb higher in a higher-grade race today but could easily have more to offer over fences. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two in a row over hurdles in October (2m5f/2m4f, good; including here) and ran pretty well when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November; unsuited by soft ground when below par at Musselburgh in December; could have a part to play if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

Gave short-odds favourite a brief scare when clear second at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in January and may have found 2m3f on heavy ground too taxing when well-held second of three here in February; no surprise if he features on this handicap debut. |

11st 5lb |
Winning Irish pointer; yet to score under rules but she is proving reliable and comes here after a good second of 13 in 3m handicap chase at Hexham 22 days ago; very much one to consider off an unchanged mark. |
