19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who is usually ridden patiently; didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (2m, good) last month and is 2lb lower here; no surprise if she poses a threat. |
8/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Four-time hurdles winner on good ground (once over C&D); ended 2025 with good second at Doncaster (2m, good) and made a satisfactory reappearance last month; can pose a significant threat from off the pace. |

Reliable mare who comes here on the back of a good second of ten in 2m Doncaster handicap hurdle just after Christmas; she has also won off a break so can make her presence felt here. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
10st 11lb |
Got his fifth hurdles win when beating subsequent Galway festival winner Winning Smut at Killarney in July (2m7f, yielding to soft); beaten 25l apiece in his two chase starts; makes handicap chase debut and chance on his best hurdles form but hasn't shown that yet over fences. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner and very experienced hurdler; gaining his fifth hurdles win, and seventh in all, when taking a 2m7f Killarney handicap in July; remote fourth on chasing debut over a staying trip at Ballinrobe. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fortunate to register a second 2m3f win here in November but has held his form since and he clearly likes it here; the concern is this trip as he's unraced beyond an extended 2m5f. |
4/1 |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) in late 2024 but was lucky to score when repeating that feat on stable debut (good) in November; respectable third at Southwell (about 2m4f, good to soft) in December on his only subsequent start; unproven on heavy but can't be dismissed. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Well past his prime now but held on gamely to win selling handicap at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in May and went down fighting when clear second at Kelso (2m2f, good) a week ago; big player off same mark if in similar mood here. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Prolific winning veteran (two wins on good ground here); latest success was in a Cartmel seller in May (2m1f, soft); not quite as good since (ran too free last time); wouldn't rule out. |

0-16 over hurdles but all five of this season's runs were respectable and he continues to edge down the weights; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers here; probably won't be far away. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Dual course winner (2m2f/2m5f) in the autumn; not in same form lately and untested over this far but back on a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up in this last year and he won two in a row at Kelso (2m2f/2m5f, good/good to soft) in the autumn; patchy form since but when pulled up at Kelso last time he was contesting the very competitive Morebattle Hurdle; drying ground will aid his cause and it will be no surprise if he runs well. |

Gained last three wins over C&D but they were on good ground; failed to beat a rival on heavy going here (race won by El Gavilan) last time; forecast conditions look unfavourable. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Dominated from the front over C&D (good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; slightly disappointing when well-held fourth in recent selling handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but still enters calculations. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Dominated from the front at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; well held when second in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) this month but the winner has performed well in much stronger company since; probably won't be far away. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Won this race in 2025 (good ground) and followed up over C&D (good to soft) two days later; suffered dip in form afterwards but shaped quite well before weakening into sixth in competitive series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in March and returns to this track on an attractive mark; had another wind op last month (his fourth); good chance. |

Just 1-12 over hurdles but the win was at this track (2m, good) and he ran well in defeat here last month, after a break; on workable mark if stamina holds out over this new trip; must be considered. |

Scored comfortably in another novice handicap over C&D (good) last May after a layoff and he was placed on next three outings; something amiss in a run last August and below form in first-time cheekpieces in October on his only start since, but the earlier good efforts can't be forgotten. |
