18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
8yo who has returned from an absence this season and has improved with each of his three chase starts, winning at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month; this is a tougher assignment but he did it readily last time and the step up in trip could be a positive move; he's one to consider. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Following an absence this very lightly raced point winner has shown promise at Ayr this year on his first two chase starts (2m/2m4f, heavy/soft) and a win may well be imminent. |
2/1 |

3rd 2 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Far from disgraced when last of five on last month's chase debut here (2m, heavy), when 33-1 and very much up against it at the weights on his first outing since October 2024; this 3m point winner showed promise in novice hurdles at up to 2m7f; interesting now back up in trip on handicap debut. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times over fences for Fergal O'Brien; beaten favourite on his stable debut at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February but has now dropped to a career-low mark. |
4/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Soundly beaten/pulled up towards end of last year on final two runs for Fergal O'Brien; however, perhaps a change of scenery and first run in a veterans' chase will prompt a revival from this 10yo, who is on a reduced mark; interesting on yard debut, all the more so if strong in the betting. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Thorough stayer; seemingly on the downgrade now but ran well for a long way when eighth in last month's Aintree Foxhunters' and probably found the good ground too lively when below that form at Cheltenham (2m4f; first-time cheekpieces) four weeks ago; can make his presence felt here. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden (2m3f) last season but a subsequent spell over fences was disappointing, and he has also looked out of sorts back over hurdles this term (three runs; cheekpieces added last time); eased in grade today; needs to turn a corner. |
10/1 |

5th 5 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here last season but chasing halted his progress and he's struggled back over hurdles following a break and wind surgery; now goes in cheekpieces; risky. |
14/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bangor maiden winner last season; never took to fences and was tailed off back over hurdles after a wind operation; now has questions to answer. |
25/1 |
