12th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Acts on heavy ground; the only C&D winner in this field, ran well in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham (3m) most recently and represents a trainer who landed this prize two years ago; therefore has respected credentials and cannot be dismissed. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Strong traveller who has won two small-field handicaps this season but Stay Away Fay had too much for him in 3m Sandown Grade 2 on soft ground in December; pulled up in Kauto Star at Kempton later that month on his other attempt at Graded level; playing for minor honours unless his form takes a leap forward. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Only 1-22 under rules and clearly hard to win with but he arrives in form having placed in a second successive Highland National here (3m6f, good) last month; just as effective over this shorter distance. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only 1-21 overall and clearly hard to win with, but he was runner-up in this 12 months ago and returns in form having been running well from 2m4f to 3m; in the mix. |

3rd 4 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Sole win under rules came in a handicap chase in 2023 (2m7f, soft); stays 3m6f but nearly won over this far at Carlisle on his reappearance and not disgraced since. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) but ran poorly over 3m1f here on Saturday, after a five-month break, and will need to rebound quickly. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) but absent since below-par hurdle run in February and returns with rules strike-rate standing at 0-21. |
10/1 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-20 under rules but stayed on from the rear to take third over C&D (good to soft) when back over hurdles last month and has now been placed on three of his last four appearances; no surprise if he's on the premises. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Placed twice in spring 2025 (2m4f/2m5f) but generally disappointing since; moves back up in trip after a quiet 2m run last month; cheekpieces (worn for last four races) are removed; others have much less to prove. |
20/1 |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Hasn't won since November 2024; well beaten over 2m5f at Kelso last time but comes into the reckoning on her previous close-up fifth to Snapaudaciaheros over C&D in April (good). |
25/1 |

7th 7 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Hasn't won for a while, but fair runs with cheekpieces on last two starts (fourth in mares' handicap over C&D on good on first occasion); each-way chance. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Pulled up at huge odds in two maiden hurdles here last month (2m4f/2m3f); makes no appeal. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two novice hurdle wins in 2022-23 season (including on soft) and he won a point (2m6f, good) last March; bang there when falling at final fence in a point in December; however, not discounted now back under rules. |
