13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took step back in right direction when second of five at Musselburgh (2m, good) last month but was unable to lay a glove on Cascade Hall and will need to build on that performance here. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten on both Flat starts this year (1m4f/2m), and just a respectable fifth over hurdles 12 days ago; now 2lb lower than when second here (2m2f, good) last summer but needs to up his game. |

Not seen over hurdles since scoring at Perth (2m) last July but he comes here fit from the Flat and was also a good second on this card 12 months ago; considered. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
10st 13lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner in 2023 has run well in defeat at times since; well beaten on return at Perth last time so will have to do a lot better. |
20/1 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Game Down Royal winner; runner-up (no match for winner) over 2m here in June 2024; blown more cold than hot since, pulling up over 3m at Down Royal last October; easing mark but with a bit to prove at present, especially off a 195-day absence. |

31st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 30y |
12st 0lb |
Seen little action since winning a juvenile hurdle here in September 2023; three of four runs have been in Britain, most recently tame enough finishing effort when fifth in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap last month; much more needed and tries a new trip. |

Last three wins have come over hurdles, but his last three efforts in that sphere have been moderate; look elsewhere. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
C&D scorer who was tried in cheekpieces when coming in last of 12 over C&D 23 days ago; he needs to bounce back. |
20/1 |

12th 10 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Headed close home (Castel Gandolfo third) in this race last year; doesn't arrive in anywhere near the same kind of form this time around after finishing tailed off (beaten 50l) over 2m4f here last month; easing mark isn't enough to make a viable threat. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Beat three rivals in this 12 months ago and has added further wins since then, on the Flat and over hurdles; only beaten a length in 1m4f handicap last time after a wind operation; not handicapped out of it by any means. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
117-rated hurdler, who regularly took travelling in her stride (three wins down at Newton Abbot); won well, making all, on the Flat at Thirsk (1m4f, soft; from 7lb lower) last September; notable candidate back to this discipline following more wind surgery. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who enjoyed a resurgence last year, winning three times over hurdles and once on the Flat; absent since November, though, and will need to resume in peak form to have any chance off current mark. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Kept on to account for Thehairyfella over C&D (soft) last October; fortunes have dipped markedly since and he weakened quickly when beaten 45l over C&D (hurdle) latest; wind surgery and an added tongue-tie could prompt a revival from what is a workable mark; consult the market. |
12/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-20 over hurdles but won here (3m, soft) on chase debut last October; three major backward steps this spring prompt caution on this return to hurdling, with cheekpieces (tried often as hurdler last year) reinstated. |
20/1 |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-20 hurdles but made winning chasing debut over C&D (soft; 7-2, from 2lb lower) last October; well beaten on both subsequent starts, dropping out tamely once headed, finishing well behind Sir Carnegie over C&D three weeks ago; needs to rediscover a spark. |

12th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Temptingly treated on the pick of his handicap form at about 2m on ground not too slow; Taunton last time was disappointing (2m3f, good) but coming back to a sharp 2m will help and could run well if his jumping holds up (can make mistakes). |

6th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Posted a couple of reasonable fourths at Perth (2m4f, good) in August/September and continues to drop down the weights; however, he was soundly beaten at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Well handicapped on old form and his latest fourth over C&D was a step in the right direction; whether he'll back that up remains to be seen. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't the best of win records (4-43 over hurdles), last win coming over 2m2f here in September 2023; good fourth over 2m5f here last month, but tailed off last time; 10lb out of the handicap. |
33/1 |

12th 16 |
16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Returned to form with 2l fourth of 11 behind Looking Splendid at Kelso (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; however, it's over two years since this 10yo last won and he's even further out of the handicap this afternoon. |
20/1 |

10th 11 |
17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice here (including over C&D) in 2023 but this year's pointing form is uninspiring and he has struggled back over fences and hurdles in last three starts; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove. |
