9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but needed considerable help from the handicapper before his hurdling win for Dan Skelton in March; unplaced in five French hurdles since joining Sophie Leech and not the most obvious answer here; suited by soft/heavy ground. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
With the cheekpieces off and having dropped down the weights, he returned to form with a creditable third at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; his rules wins have come on soft/heavy ground and he's a strong contender if producing another good performance here. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Inconsistent during last season's first chasing campaign but he posted a win at Ayr (2m4f, heavy) in January and was a very close third there (2m4f, good to soft) on last month's reappearance; remains lightly raced and is not ruled out in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Struggling for form since joining this stable but he's become very well handicapped; hard to completely rule out but he needs to step up; stable also runs Twilight Glory. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Long breaks are a feature in his profile and he was returning from another when prevailing narrowly at Stratford two months ago (2m2f, good); if as good again off 4lb higher he'll be thereabouts. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

Made light of an absence when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f) in January 2025 and backed it up with a very good second of five at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; returns from 13 months off here but can't be ruled out with yard going well. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Continues to slide in the weights, now 10lb below his last winning mark (2m4f, Hexham); Kelso fourth (2m5f; in first-time blinkers) was okay but his latest Hexham effort (2m) was a poor one; plenty to prove, particularly over 3m. |
12/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Successful over 2m4f here nearly a year ago but has struggled to recapture that form since; shaped with a little more promise when fading into fourth over 2m5f at Kelso last month, but he'll need to build on that and this drop back to 2m may not play to his strengths. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Won four-runner handicap at Hexham last June (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); disappointing since; needs first-time blinkers to bring about significant improvement. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
The final leg of his four-timer for Brian Ellison two winters back was this race off 4lb lower than today; never fired on all cylinders last term but reappeared for new yard in November with a sparkling win, employing new tactics as he made all at Carlisle to come home 9l clear; back up 8lb, so needs to be back at his very best, but he's one for the shortlist. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has had a patchy campaign and was pulled up in the Midland National last time; however, he showed some spark at Musselburgh (3m7f, good to soft) in February and is just 1lb higher than when winning the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, heavy) last season; not ruled out now back down in trip/grade. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Eight-time chase winner at up 3m1f but he's well into the veteran stage now and has struggled in three points this year; this looks tough on these terms back over regulation fences and others are preferred. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Looked rather gone at the game last winter so connections and rider Jack Power have done brilliantly to get his enthusiasm back at his age; he completed the hat-trick a shade cosily at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; won on soft twice in midwinter) in March and another win is on the cards. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |
10/1 |
Verdict
The signs look good for DONNA’S DOUBLE (nap), who has an unblemished second-time-out record and should build on his Ayr reappearance effort. Old Painless (second choice) and Anglers Crag are interesting contenders for their new yards, while Telhimlisten may well bounce back to form.[Steve Boow]
