24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful dual-purpose performer; runner-up in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen last summer and arrives on the back of a good effort on the Flat at Newmarket three weeks ago; very much one to consider back in this sphere. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Saw daylight all too late when strong-finishing fifth in this race last year (much better than his 2024 performance in it); Meydan this January/February did not yield much (stiff tasks) but he's now 4lb lower than this time last year, too well handicapped to be ruled out; rare run in cheekpieces. |

Useful on Flat and over hurdles; good second in notable summer handicap at Market Rasen on last attempt in this sphere; filled the same position, albeit comfortably beaten by Rubaud on same terms, in this contest 12 months ago; needs a personal best to go one better. |

Well handicapped on his Chester win (1m4f, good) last May but he's 0-10 since and was well held in his final five runs for Ian Williams; returns after 200 days off and he needs to get back on track for new yard. |

His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |

Returned to winning form at Windsor (11.4f, soft) last month, but didn't shape as though he wanted a drop in trip when third of five at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) 17 days later; cheekpieces given a go. |

Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected. |

His last win was in July 2022 but he returned to the Flat for new yard with a front-running third at Pontefract (1m2f, good; tongue-tie added) two weeks ago; that was an encouraging effort after a break and he has possibilities if he can build on that. |

Won in France in 2020 and scored over C&D in 2022 but has developed a rocky profile and was in poor form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; has joined Martin Keighley (same owners) but watching brief advised on this comeback in a tongue-tie. |

Probably flattered by his proximity in a tactical novice chase at Cheltenham last month and has since had his limitations exposed in a Grade 2 there; however, he's back at a much more realistic level today and still has plenty of scope to progress from his convincing handicap win at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) three starts ago. |

Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out. |
