Fairly useful under rules for Nicky Henderson in 2023 and was evidently suited by the thorough stamina test when winning open point at Kingston Blount (4m, soft) in February; slightly disappointing when only third behind Norton Hill and Assassins Lullaby on good ground in March, though. |

10st 6lb |
Useful 2m form for Charlie Longsdon in autumn 2024, including on this course, but his season ended badly; off to a good start for new yard when runner-up at Haydock (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained) last month but there's not much common ground between that run and what will be needed today. |

Made a winning return at Carlisle (2m) in October 2024 but his form nosedived later in the season, pulled up in the Topham at Aintree last spring on his final run for Charlie Longsdon; since changed hands for £20,000 and he needs to hit the ground running for his new yard after ten months off. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Has run just four times since 2023; returned from long absence to win at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) last November but failed to repeat the form in prestigious handicaps at Newbury and Sandown; something to prove. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in February 2024 and this 9yo was racing for the first time since when winning at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) in November 2025; he's a lot better than he showed at Newbury latest (2m, heavy; again failed to settle) but is hard to fancy on the back of that heavy defeat. |

Missed last term but showed further progress to score readily at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) in sole outing this season, albeit the form may not be reliable as several hurdles were omitted; on a stiffer mark and goes up sharply in class. |

20th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Soundly beaten on all four hurdling starts, most recently when dropped back to 2m (from 2m4f) for handicap debut three weeks ago; in good hands and can't be written off just yet but needs this jump up in trip to enable significant improvement. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Soundly beaten on all three hurdling starts, most recently in very ordinary 2m4f Plumpton maiden this month; will need to improve to make a winning handicap debut but represents a top stable and today's switch to good ground might show him in a better light. |
4/1 |

In a top stable but beaten a distance or more in all his four runs, twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f); there was some promise behind the useful Pembroke at Ludlow in December and this is very weak. |

11st 4lb |
Took a big step up in trip on his handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (3m, good to soft) in April and was awarded the race (due to interference); subsequently sold out of Kim Bailey's yard for £25,000 and this lightly raced 7yo brings potential to today's chase debut, with his new yard in fine form. |

11st 0lb |
Made an encouraging handicap debut when third over C&D (good to soft) in February but he didn't get very far at Fontwell next time and was pulled up at Wincanton (15-8 favourite) in March; should still have potential but he needs to get back on track after a short break. |

17-race maiden under rules; reached the frame on numerous occasions over fences but he was beaten 21l when third at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago; should be fine back on the forecast quicker ground but he needs to get back near his best. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Well capable of being involved, as his close third at Catterick on most recent attempt over 1m7f attests; the negative is that he's a fairly exposed maiden whose latest defeat took chase record to 0-8. |

Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list. |

11st 7lb |
Overcome significant interference from a loose horse to win for Tim Vaughan at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) just over a year ago but left that stable after a disappointing run last October and was a pulled-up outsider when reappearing for new trainer last week. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Opened her account at Fontwell (2m5f) last September but came in last of nine at Hereford (2m4f) 11 months ago on her final run for Tim Vaughan; since changed hands for £1,000 and she needs to hit the ground running for her new stable. |

Too good for a heavily backed subsequent winner when opening account at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month; not quite in same form when well-held second off same mark a few days later and an 8lb rise has now taken effect but she remains of interest. |
