8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Six-time course winner; not the force of old and has become inconsistent but looked in good nick when scoring at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, and last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent in recent years and no longer the force of old but kept on well to score at Wetherby (3m, good) last month, and this six-time course winner is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |

Veteran who was a close second in this contest last year but is by no means certain to go one better, having gained all six jumps wins at Market Rasen; inconsistent results since last success. |

Dual hurdle winner; only 6l away last time at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) on ground that would have been on the lively side for her; can see her going well. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Up in class and up in trip (by some way) having never gone beyond an extended 3m; however, he's got low mileage as a chaser and won eased down last time at Carlisle (good to soft); handicapper saw fit to raise him 9lb for that but if his stamina reserves can stretch this far then he might not be far away. |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (heavy/good to soft; including here) who scored at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago on his third chase start; led close home having been outpaced and today's stiffer test should be right up his street; firmly in calculations up 4lb. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Her first three chase starts yielded wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) and Ayr (2m4f, soft); only third of four at Ayr (2m4f, soft) since but that may not be the limit of her ability; won here over hurdles and she's not ruled out. |

Progressive over fences; won on Sedgefield debut (2m5f, good to soft) before career-best when scoring over C&D earlier this month (soft); runs off 7lb higher today; contender. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Placed in three consecutive chases during the winter (2m7f-3m, good to soft) but this first hurdling start since March 2024 comes after a five-month break, so his fitness must be taken on trust. |
12/1 |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable third over C&D (good to soft) in December, after a wind op, and probably bettered that performance when filling same position at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and seems likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Gained the last three of his seven hurdle wins over C&D (including 2024 edition of this race); absent since two small-field seconds in October (2m5f/2m7f) but there's a good chance he'll be primed for a big run on this return to Huntingdon. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 7-17 over hurdles and just missed out on return to this discipline last week at Hereford (2m5f, good; stays this far); only three completed that day but this 8yo should again be seriously involved. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |

Record of 7-16 over hurdles; started off promisingly over fences with two seconds in small fields but disappointing the last twice; on a competitive mark back over hurdles. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won from the front in first-time visor (kept since) at Doncaster in December; back to form when second at Newbury on latest start, his second run after his second wind operation; has a competitive mark but his inconsistency and going beyond 3m2f both introduce doubts. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Not easy to predict but he's only 2lb higher than when making all at Doncaster (3m, good) just after Christmas, and he probably went off too fast when beaten 33l there (3m2f, soft) three weeks ago; not discounted. |
11/2 |

2nd 10 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Physical issues came to light after disappointing in a cross-country race last time; wore just a tongue-tie then but the visor that worked so well when a 3l winner here the time before now returns, as does Charlie Maggs with his claim; however, he has become hard to predict and underwent further wind surgery only recently. |
