Short in chasing experience for a race of this nature, having steered clear of fences since finishing fourth of six runners in a handicap in late 2022; has at least rediscovered some form over hurdles for his new yard but others are safer propositions. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Progressive last year, winning here three times (2m4f/2m5f, soft/heavy), and solid second at Kelso (2m6f, heavy) in December last time; has run well over today's C&D in the past and could play a leading role now back here, provided conditions suit (effective on good to soft; unraced on good). |

Six-time winner in Britain and gained her first Irish win in game fashion over 2m4f at this venue in January 2024 on her third and final start for Marie Harding; at the veteran stage now but made a promising reappearance under Joanna Walton (aboard for all seven wins) over 2m at Naas recently; each-way prospects. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Ayr (3m, soft) four weeks ago; he's also effective on good to soft ground and a 4lb rise won't necessarily beat him, but he's inconsistent and has a good record at Ayr, so it's questionable whether he'll produce another good performance today. |

Course winner who comes here in decent nick, though he finished tired when second of seven in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase three weeks ago; he can race off a 2lb lower mark here so must still enter calculations. |

Ended last season with two fairly good efforts, more recently when third at Kelso (2m6f, good), but is seemingly on the downgrade now and some of the others have more appealing profiles. |

17th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

His best form has come over 2m4f+ so it was an encouraging return from wind surgery when not far away over 2m at Hexham (heavy); these conditions won't faze him and he's considered. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record. |

All of his three hurdle wins (2m/2m4f) came on good ground in the summer of 2020; very well treated on his old form but he's struggled in four runs for this yard and a big turnaround is needed. |

28th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |

Possible to make excuses for three outings from this yard (heavy ground in first two, hampered latest) but has been tailed off each time and urgently needs a return to something more positive. |

4th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Well handicapped on form as recent as last April for Olly Murphy and heavy ground may not have suited on his first two runs for this yard; however, he's been tailed off each time and a major turnaround is required in first-time cheekpieces. |

Two wins and two seconds from his five races for current yard; both the wins were at Newbury, including in clearcut style from Kyntara on heavy going last time out; back up another 5lb but he was fourth in the Grade 1 Stayers' on his only visit to the Festival, admittedly in 2020, but a case can be made for this resurgent 10yo. |
