3rd 10 (2) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; first switched to Flat in late July, racing over 1m initially before his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 14 days ago; duly raised his game when stepped up to 2m here yesterday, making most and beating all except the easy winner; big player if he's in the same form today. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; has had only five races on the Flat, with 1m looking inadequate on first four occasions and 1m2f the same with his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 13 days ago; dropped 2lb and it's not hard to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the much longer trip. |

8st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; only had four races on the Flat and a 1m has looked inadequate; however, even 1m2f might not be far enough for him. |

Useful on his day but has a disappointing strike-rate and is far from solid judged on 2023 form (Flat/hurdles); others preferred. |

21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Ran fairly well over 2m here on seasonal debut in November but two very disappointing runs have followed (2m/2m7f; blinkers added last time) and it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood today. |

31st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Made quite encouraging seasonal debut last month (2m, good) but ran poorly over that trip three weeks later and also struggled on only previous attempt at 2m7f; sports first-time blinkers; risky. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
His jumping has been an issue this season and he was soundly beaten at Newbury last time; however, two starts ago he was a close second of four there (2m, good to soft) and he has a good record at this track; might not be far away if finding some fluency. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Almost as good as ever this season and he kept on well when 1l second of four over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; a repeat of that form would see him go close, with a tongue-strap added for the first time in Britain, but a losing sequence is developing and he tends to make mistakes. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent in first-time blinkers when second to an improver at Sandown in January (good; fine on soft) and fell midrace back there last time; it's surprising to see cheekpieces back on (beaten 10l in December when tried in them once before) but he has a big effort in him off this mark. |

13th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Failed to complete two chases in autumn 2021 and, following a long absence, was well-beaten 50-1 shot when back over hurdles last month; that run might have brought him on but his current ability is hard gauge. |

3rd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won two Hexham novice hurdles in October 2020; only three runs since, with lengthy absences (wind surgery both times) either side of his two non-completions over fences in autumn 2021; now a 10yo and he's back hurdling off a 7lb lower mark, with stable among the winners. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Yet to win in seven chase attempts and most of his form is on slow ground, yet it was good to soft when third in the Red Rum at Aintree in April (2m) and good when beaten only 2l at Sandown later that month (2m4f); every chance off this mark if he's on the ball after his break. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 10y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Has raced only on softer than good; 2m3f hurdle winner in France in May 2023; minor honours in six of seven British starts, the exception when he bled here on penultimate outing; rallying third of 14 under Tom Broughton at Aintree (2m) latest and may now be worth this second attempt at about 2m4f. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6-16 over fences, the latest win gained in this race a year ago (soft ground; also suited by good); returned from seven-month with encouraging run a fortnight ago and should now be teed up to defend his crown. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has a good strike-rate over fences (6-15), latest win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) nearly a year ago; not at his best late last year on last two starts; now only 1lb above that win and Finn Lambert's claim will help, but needs to bounce back after his break. |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Already has six chase wins under his belt but he hasn't been quite on song since the latest of them, at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in July; will do well to add to his haul in this race. |

12st 0lb |
Did well as a juvenile hurdler with three wins (latest in December 2019) but she generally struggled under both codes in the second half of 2020 and has not been seen since; has had wind surgery and now makes her debut for Gary Moore but has plenty to prove after 816 days off. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time Flat winner who scored a fifth win on turf when taking Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) off 2lb lower in July 2024; also a multiple winner over hurdles who was on the premises when taking heavy last-flight fall at Plumpton just over one year ago; interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this comeback. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 3 |

Gained two of his five hurdle wins at this track and was second in Sussex Champion Hurdle here (2m, good) just over a year ago; returned from seven-month break with encouraging third at Bangor (2m3f, good; form working out well) in March and has slipped to a workable mark; can make presence felt. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has done her winning at about 2m, latest at Ffos Las in February; soundly beaten on last four starts, with moves back up to about 2m4f/3m for last three; her one piece of 3m form was back in January 2022 but she is back 4lb lower than her last winning mark. |

Verdict
Hartur d’Oudairies looks set for a bold effort and could provide the main danger to INEDIT STAR (nap), who makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut with aids back on.[Jonathan Neesom]
