22nd Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Irish point winner (good to yielding ground) who was placed on first two hurdling starts, more recently when third at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) last month; back on a less testing surface for today's handicap debut and open to significant improvement; high on the list. |

4th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 7y Class 5 |

Narrowly beaten over 2m3f+ here in April but absent since; both wins at around 2m and her ability to stay this trip isn't completely guaranteed but enters the reckoning with Charlie Maggs taking off 8lb. |

Ran poorly in November, after a break, but is usually pretty consistent and has dropped another 2lb since her respectable fourth at Catterick (2m3f, good) in February; considered each-way. |

Ran well when second at Kilbeggan in July but was still beaten 13l; outclassed on the Flat latest but this much more suitable and was a close second in a division of this race in 2023 off 5lb higher; place shout. |

12st 0lb |
Just 1-11 over hurdles but returned from long absence with two good thirds this season, the latter at Bangor (2m3f, good) 11 days ago; soft ground also suits; player if he takes well to fences. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Lightly raced; won juvenile hurdle in 2022; clear signs of retaining ability at Worcester (2m4f) in July when back from lengthy absence; possibilities if building on that effort. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Still 4lb higher than when winning over 2m6f here (good to soft) last summer but did not run badly when seventh in competitive series final at Musselburgh last month and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; major player if stamina holds out (unraced beyond 2m7f). |

No longer the force of old but suggested he's ready to exploit some significant help from the handicapper when second to progressive rival at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; also suited by this C&D; likely contender. |

Inconsistent 11-race maiden who was a well-held eighth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; drops back in trip/grade but his form has gone the wrong way in handicaps and others are more convincing; cheekpieces back. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Unable to land a telling blow in his first two handicaps (2m/1m7f) and was a mid-race faller when last in action; not yet fully exposed but needs today's step up in trip to enable improvement. |

9yo who has been lightly raced in recent years; returned from an absence with 11l second at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in November under Vicki Sollitt, then easily won three-runner military riders' race at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft); won on soft ground earlier in his career; high on the list. |

Seized the initiative, already having the race in safe keeping when left clear at the second last, at Doncaster (2m3f, good; from 9lb lower) in February; well beaten at Southwell subsequently and likely to face competition for the lead here; close to a career best required. |
5/1 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
None too consistent but he made it 4-12 over fences when scoring by 20l at Doncaster (2m3f, good; was left clear late on) and he's only 4lb higher for this return to hurdles; still comes with risks given overall profile and he's 0-9 in this discipline. |

Flat/hurdle winner who left Dan Skelton for 4,400gns; finished a clear second at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft; effective on good) on stable/chase debut and the revitalised winner has struck again since; gets in here off the same mark. |

Burst back to life with 15l win at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May; absent since and up 11lb, which puts him on clear career-high mark at the age of nine; also has a slight query on this forecast soft ground but Harry Skelton retains the ride; should be in the mix if ready to go. |
