9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Lightly raced; second hurdles win at Doncaster in March (second run at 2m5f, good to soft); stiffer task on this 7lb higher mark but a chance. |

Won an Ayr novice in November 2024 (2m, good to soft); subsequently finished runner-up in a 2m4f handicap chase; fair third back over hurdles at Newcastle last time (2m1f, good to soft) and could go well back up to 2m4f. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Another underwhelming run over fences last time but was only a length behind an improver over hurdles at Newton Abbot two runs back (2m1f, good) and that effort brings her into this. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |

Regressed in three chase attempts during a brief spell with Dan Skelton; ran encouragingly at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 1l second) last time on stable debut and switch back to hurdles; fighting chance off same mark, provided she's as effective returned to fences. |

11st 10lb |
Front-runner who was beaten 9l when last of the three finishers at Ayr (2m, soft) in January; however, he's been dropped a handy 3lb since and is capable of better judged on last season's evidence; not written off. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Easy Irish point winner who got better with every run over hurdles last term, landing the odds in maiden on this course (2m, soft) on final start; has untapped potential and should be at least as effective over fences. |

Winning hurdler is 0-5 in chases but has run well in defeat, including at this venue over 16.5f (good to yielding) back in January; won at 2m6f over hurdles but has stamina to prove for this trip; doesn't look a certain stayer on breeding and others appeal more. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Had jumping issues during her chase spell and proved suited by the return to hurdles in C&D contest (good to soft) last time, just holding on from Lizzie Luna who might have won but for coming off a true line; may remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who might well have made a winning chase debut here (2m4f, good) in May, had she not clouted the last two fences; again made jumping errors when well behind Heaven Smart over that trip last month but can pose a potent threat if she gets into a better rhythm today. |
6/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-5 over hurdles but made promising start to chasing career when third over C&D (good) in May; might well have won that race had she not clouted the last two fences, and commands respect off the same mark today. |

12st 0lb |
Last of four on handicap debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft) last month but didn't run badly in what may have been a warm little race, and improvement is possible from this lightly raced 6yo; has a chance. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Has shown some ability in bumpers and over hurdles, well beaten when trying 2m4f on last two occasions but he did rally; needs improvement on this handicap debut but the extra 3f could be a plus point. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Yet to win (0-12) but consistent enough since introduced to fences (32333U); this easing mark is helpful from a handicapping perspective but he needs to brush up his jumping - last two efforts in cheekpieces unconvincing - to threaten the principals. |
6/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
11-race maiden; placed on all five starts over fences this term, although was disappointing when last of three with cheekpieces tried at Ayr last time (2m4f, soft; didn't jump well); headgear retained; each-way chance. |
11/1 |

3rd 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
0-10 under all codes but made the frame in four consecutive chases this season, the last three over 3m here (soft/heavy); interesting to see whether combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces pays dividends. |
