Lacked fluency when fourth in two 3m Fakenham chases this autumn and now reverts to hurdling; will be suited by today's drop back in trip, though, and and won't mind the forecast rain; can exploit a favourable mark. |

Won two handicaps in Ireland; building some momentum for his new yard and probably needs further than the 2m2f he ran over at Exeter last time (stays 3m); needs considering. |

Runner-up at Leicester (2m4f, good) last month on second stable start and again ran well when fourth at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) seven days later; won on soft ground in Ireland; could have a part to play. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Successful over fences (twice) and hurdles last term; went off the boil on his last two runs early on this year and is 7lb higher than his last winning mark; looks to need to come down the weights. |

19th Feb 2026 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Ex-Irish; has won four races since joining this yard, two of them over fences here (2m5f, 3m5f, good); has won on soft/heavy ground but best form on good/good to soft and below par on ground considered 'tacky' last time. |
7/1 |

6th 10 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Four wins since joining this stable last spring, the latest in Durham National at Sedgefield (3m5f, good) in October; arguably posted career-best performance when clear second in Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen (3m3f, good to soft) on Boxing Day but went up another 4lb for that and the forecast slower ground here may not be ideal. |

6th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Ran game race from the front when close third at Perth (3m, soft) last month but weakened out of contention over 2m4f there nine days ago and is now 0-7 over hurdles; others have more pressing claims. |

5th 10 |
27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
0-10 under all codes; struggled on recent chasing debut but attracted good market support and ran game race from the front when close third over hurdles here (3m, soft) five days later; could have a say if suited by today's drop back in trip. |
7/1 |

3rd 7 |
11th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Chance on her C&D third three runs ago (3m, good); lesser run on easier ground at Cartmel next time and was pulled up on chase debut at Hexham five days ago, but she's a possible now back over hurdles. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised. |

0-18 over fences and hasn't been shaping of late as though a win is imminent; 10lb out of the handicap today and hard to fancy. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

0-19 over fences; ended a sequence failing to finish when a well-beaten fourth on first run back after a wind op at Ayr last time (3m, soft); 9lb out of the handicap and plenty to prove. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |

Scored over hurdles here back in 2023 but he remains winless over fences and was tongue tied when pulled up over C&D in January; needs a subsequent wind operation to spark major improvement. |

Capable when on song as she showed when going down narrowly under a positive ride at Cartmel (2m6f, good); up just 3lb and she can follow one good run with another. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Struck form in the autumn, most notably when holding on well to win from the front at Hexham (2m4f, soft), but ran poorly this month, after a break, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

0-18 over hurdles but has largely been consistent since the spring; made most of the running when third behind Prince Nino over C&D this month and has the same mark today; probably won't be far away. |

10st 9lb |
Last effort of note was when winning on heavy ground at Hexham (2m4f) just over a year ago; perhaps went off too fast there last time (especially over 2m7f; good to soft) but current wellbeing looks an issue. |

Won a 2m4f handicap here last April but things have fallen apart in just three runs since (form figures of U0P); showed signs of being in season when pulled up at Newcastle last month but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and both wins have been in the mud; down the list. |
