Consistent and progressive mare with two chase wins here this spring; only third (off 9lb lower) when last seen over hurdles six months ago but has improved since; fair chance if able to transfer her chasing form. |

May have bounced when pulled up on heavy ground at Haydock in December on second start back from a long absence, and he's had wind surgery since; prior to that he reappeared with a good second at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) and is a major player if rediscovering that form; has won on soft. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who has looked as good as ever for his new stable this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f); probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but reverts to chasing after a respectable hurdle run and is suited by this C&D. |
3/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
12yo who has been better than ever over fences this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft); this is a rare run over hurdles but he has a lower mark in this sphere, in which he scored twice in 2020; likes it here; one to consider. |

2nd 7 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |

Won this in 2024 (soft) and he's been better than ever this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; last time); back up to a career-high mark and he's back up in grade but he could yet have more to offer for this yard; respected. |

12th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner in 2019 (3m); has been campaigned mainly over shorter distances since then, latest win being over 2m4f at Haydock in April 2022 (good); excuses for two poor runs on last two starts, but a bit to prove now. |

28th Dec 2022 Good 2m 4f 25y Class 3 |

Won a valuable series final at Haydock in April off only 2lb lower (2m4f, good to soft); bit below that afterwards, though was reportedly ready for a break when pulled up in June; can go well fresh. |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Useful hurdler/chaser when with Tom Lacey but had very disappointing five-race spell with Stuart Coltherd last season and was tailed off behind Tommie Beau over hurdles here on stable debut in May; can cope with slow ground but needs combination of wind surgery and refitted tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Not the force of old and might be better suited by right-handed tracks but ran well from the front when close fourth in open point at left-handed Chaddesley Corbett (3m, good to soft; also suited by soft) last month; considered each-way. |

2nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Useful handicapper chaser when trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, with a good record at this track; this season's pointing form for new stable has been underwhelming, though, and he was safely held when fourth in a Leicester hunter chase (2m, good to soft) last month. |

Dual scorer in this sphere granted a sharp 3m and good ground in 2024; outclassed in the big one at Cheltenham this raceday last year and disappointing season either side of that (34l fourth over this C&D); absent since May, but record fresh is generally fair. |
