11st 4lb |
Took a big step up in trip on his handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (3m, good to soft) in April and was awarded the race (due to interference); subsequently sold out of Kim Bailey's yard for £25,000 and this lightly raced 7yo brings potential to today's chase debut, with his new yard in fine form. |

Got on a roll last winter when completing a hat-trick (3m/3m3f) before a respectable, albeit remote, second in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft); this race is a suitable fit but he now has to prove himself worthy of this high a mark. |

Useful chaser who signed off in the autumn with win off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m5f, good); has gone well when fresh before but is quite tricky to weigh up on this first start over hurdles since 2022. |

Hasn't been running well for a while now, since winning the Summer Plate over C&D in July 2024; too well handicapped to dismiss with confidence, though, and a tongue-tie belatedly returns. |

Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2020 and bits of form in better races than this in recent times; out of sorts in the autumn but he might well have pegged back Forest Chimes at Stratford (2m5f, heavy) last week with a better jump at the last; this stiffer test can suit; can go well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Successful on this card two years ago; campaigned mostly over 2m4f/2m5f but saw out 3m well at Perth (good) most recently, adding to his Grade 2 handicap success in April and taking chase record to 9-30; better than ever and commands respect. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Good ground is key to him, though good to soft is acceptable; after signs of a revival at the Cheltenham Festival he duly delivered in a competitive 2m4f handicap at Haydock, winning cosily despite narrow margin of victory; the 4lb rise seemed generous and when beaten at Uttoxeter he bumped into the talented Glengouly on a good day; all his best form is at shorter, so stamina would be the principal concern. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Good ground is the key to him; his form had nosedived but he was running much better when hampered late on at the Cheltenham Festival and then came good at Haydock (2m4f, good), prevailing only narrowly but under a confident ride in a strong race (he also won it the season before when staged at Cheltenham); a 4lb rise seems very generous. |

16th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Well beaten last spring on final two hurdle starts and reappears with something; however, perhaps a break will have helped and this lightly raced point runner-up may be suited by the switch to fences; not written off. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up in two maiden hurdles (2m3f/2m7f) before producing a tame effort on his handicap debut (2m7f); the tongue-tie tried then is soon dispensed with and this lightly raced 8yo retains potential. |

Second in an Irish point; five-race maiden under rules, but has finished runner-up in maiden hurdles at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) and Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) on his last two starts; tongue-tie tried on handicap debut; a possible. |

Hasn't won for a couple of years and that was over fences, but she shaped encouragingly reverting to hurdles when third at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) in February, albeit beaten nearly 19l, and has fallen back over fences since; however, she's on a handy mark and is hard to dismiss. |

11st 8lb |
Bounced back to form with clearcut win at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in April and was placed off today's mark there the following month but her subsequent hurdle run was underwhelming and she needs to be perked up by a change of headgear. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won in good style over fences at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in April, after a break, but was not quite in the same form over that C&D last month and would prefer the rain to stay away before this hurdling return. |

13th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |

Suffered significant dip in form last season but returned from ten-week break with 5l win over C&D (good to soft) last month and remains well handicapped after a 3lb rise; will have something to prove if the ground turns soft but, otherwise, has strong claims. |
