6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely. |

Has won twice over fences, both over 2m4f; fair third in a mares' handicap at Ludlow last time (2m4f, soft); could go well but perhaps better at shorter. |

10yo whose losing sequence is up to 13 after disappointing run at Windsor (2m4f, soft) latest; however, she was runner-up on final two outings in 2025 (2m4f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and might not be far away if back on song. |

Well past his prime now but held on gamely to win selling handicap at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in May and went down fighting when clear second at Kelso (2m2f, good) a week ago; big player off same mark if in similar mood here. |

11st 3lb |
Won against own age-group on hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last November but has been out of form on the Flat for new stable this season and switches back to this code with quite a bit to prove, including her stamina for 2m4f on slow ground. |

Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft); lurks on a good mark but looked out of sorts here on both appearances this season and needs recent wind op to have made a difference; tongue-tie refitted. |

10st 6lb |
Needs to bounce back from disappointing run 26 days ago but bumped into progressive rival when clear second of 17 on last month's seasonal debut at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy; well backed), and is a major player if judged on that performance. |

26th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |

10st 9lb |
Tends to be all or nothing, winning four of his 14 attempts over hurdles but finishing unplaced in the other ten; back to form in first-time blinkers at Sedgefield last month; every chance off 3lb higher if in the mood again and has won over C&D and on good ground. |

Triple hurdles winner at up to 2m3f (on good/good to soft), twice from slightly higher marks; handicapper has had his measure since the most recent of those at Catterick 13 months ago; blinkers go on; not ruled out but genuine soft ground would be a concern. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well handicapped on last season's hurdle form and he was a fair fourth on his chase debut here in November; however, he was disappointing when back over hurdles at Newcastle three weeks ago and the first-time tongue-tie needs to be the catalyst for a return to form. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |

4l winner under Freddie Mitchell at Hereford (extended 3m1f) in January on latest outing but 8lb higher today, including 3lb out of the handicap; also not proven on worse than good to soft (had two attempts on soft) and this sort of trip is something new to him. |
