19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Winless since scoring over 2m2f here in April 2023; failed to build on earlier promise when sixth of seven in 3m3f Sedgefield handicap last month but could bounce back in different headgear now. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Just 1-17 over hurdles but runner-up over C&D (good to soft) last month after a break and his lesser effort at Warwick 16 days later can be excused by the soft ground; conditions set to suit today; firmly in calculations. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Just 1-16 over hurdles and the forecast soft ground poses a question, but he returned to form when second at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and can be in the mix if backing up that performance. |

She's on a career-low mark and has posted a couple of fair efforts this season, but this 13yo has been a soundly beaten sixth back over hurdles the last twice and others are preferred. |

Juvenile hurdle winner at Fontwell on debut in September 2021 (2m, good); hasn't won again and was well beaten on chase debut here last time (2m, good); more needed. |

Was in no form on the Flat before finishing second in a big-field handicap hurdle at Chepstow in October; disappointing that he failed to build on that at Fontwell and he's becoming hard to predict. |

Badly out of form on the Flat this year but different story when second of 17 on handicap hurdle debut at Chepstow in October; up 2lb but repeat of that puts him right in the shake-up. |

Not an easy one to predict but seemed to respond positively to first-time cheekpieces when rallying second at Warwick (3m, good) in May; still unexposed over staying trips; big player if headgear continues to aid. |

10st 8lb |
Won off today's mark over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October 2022; made quite promising seasonal/chase debut at Hereford (2m, good) last month but was not travelling well when brought down at Hereford 19 days ago and his overall record is not compelling. |

29th Nov 2023 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |

Just 1-10 over hurdles but made a quite promising seasonal/chase debut when fourth over C&D (good) this month and can pose a potent threat if that outing has brought him on; 1lb out of the weights. |

Betting Forcast
9/2 Scudamore, 12/1 Rukwa, 10/1 Kilganer Queen, 14/1 The Yellow Mini, 25/1 Optimistic Belief, 7/4 Bells Of Stamford, 4/1 Miss Bamby, 50/1 No Reaction, 5/1 Cobbs Corner
Non-runners
Optimistic Belief
Verdict
All of these have something to prove. MISS BAMBY wasn’t at her best last time but she was running well before then and is close to her last winning mark. It is a five-month absence that’s the worry for Bells Of Stamford but he’s the big danger if ready to roll.[Alistair Jones]
