Kept on well for second behind Lunar Discovery at Hexham (good to soft) last May and also displayed clear promise when fourth behind Chosen Hero at Wetherby (soft) last month; each-way claims at least. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice here in 2025 (2m/2m5f; good/good to soft) but hasn't run up to form on his last three starts, last time over 2m6f; others stronger. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Dual course winner (2m2f/2m5f) in the autumn; not in same form lately and untested over this far but back on a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up in this last year and he won two in a row at Kelso (2m2f/2m5f, good/good to soft) in the autumn; patchy form since but when pulled up at Kelso last time he was contesting the very competitive Morebattle Hurdle; drying ground will aid his cause and it will be no surprise if he runs well. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed back-to-back wins at Hereford over 3m1f on good this spring; found out in a higher grade twice since but back at his winning level and should run his race. |

3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Record of 3-13 over fences; 2-2 over C&D, namely good-ground wins this spring; below par at Fontwell in hat-trick attempt but has possibilities back here; admittedly yet to score above Class 5. |
13/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
8yo who has been resurgent with wins at Hereford (3m1f, good) in his last two starts; 3lb higher than last time but he stayed on strongly to beat a clear second and remains well handicapped on his best form; key player. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Prominent racer who made it 4-4 for 2026 (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft/good) at Carlisle last month; won by 3l last time and a 7lb rise may not stop this thriving 8yo, provided the forecast soft ground isn't an issue. |
4/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Improving chaser who has won his last three, the first two at 2m4f/2m3f but last time coping fine with the sharper test of 1m7f around Catterick (good); up in grade here with a 7lb rise to deal with but he's got major momentum behind him. |
9/2 |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won novice handicaps at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) and here (2m3f, good to soft) in January; down in trip (won over 2m over hurdles) and on a career-high mark (went up 6lb for last win) but a contender. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Soundly beaten trying 3m on penultimate outing; best form on starts either side when taking minor handicap honours at Wetherby (2m4f, soft) and Kelso (extended 2m6f, heavy) and those give him place claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Weakened into well-beaten fourth at Doncaster (3m, soft) three weeks ago; however, prior to that he kept on well for a much closer fourth on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) and today's in-between trip could suit. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a patchy record but he made it 2-10 over hurdles when justifying support at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in November; 6lb higher on his return but that was a comfortable success and he looks worth a try at this new trip; not ruled out. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner who is on a reduced mark; however, he failed to shine in handicap hurdles last season and was tailed off on last month's chase debut at Perth. |

Showed no significant promise at huge prices in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m3f) towards end of last season; significant improvement is needed on this handicap debut. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-8 over hurdles; placed off today's mark at Ayr (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in February but pulled up both runs either side; not yet proven over 3m or on good ground; tricky to predict on chase debut. |

Made the frame last spring in first two handicaps (2m4f, good to soft/soft) and returned to form when third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) here (2m4f, soft) last month; there's stamina in his pedigree and today's step up in trip could eke out some improvement. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has taken well to fences, winning by 11l here on his chase debut (good) before finishing a clear second (again over C&D) last time; went up 9lb for his win and another 4lb for latest run but is one with a chance. |
11/4 |

2nd 7 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Returned from break with career-best performance this month, drawing clear to win by 11l over C&D (good) on chasing debut; 9lb higher in a higher-grade race today but could easily have more to offer over fences. |
7/2 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two in a row over hurdles in October (2m5f/2m4f, good; including here) and ran pretty well when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November; unsuited by soft ground when below par at Musselburgh in December; could have a part to play if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

11st 8lb |
C&D winner on this card last year and made it 5-9 here when making all to defeat Sir Galahad by 3l three weeks ago; 6lb rise sees her on a career-high mark but lots to like otherwise. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Four of her five wins over hurdles have been at this track (three over today's distance); must overcome a lengthy absence and is 7lb higher than for her last success but she cannot he dismissed around here. |
6/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Keen-going front-runner; in career-best form this season, winning twice over 2m4f in May before very creditable second in valuable C&D contest last month; effective on good and soft ground; could be hard to catch. |
