25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Didn't run badly in a low-grade Flat marathon last month but he ended the last jumps season with two disappointing runs (both 2m4f) and has a bit more to prove than some of these. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |

Well beaten over hurdles on his last two starts but hasn't run badly on his last two Flat outings (1m4f/2m, AW) and his trainer has won two of the last six runnings of this race; not discounted. |

Scored twice over hurdles (at about 2m4f) in 2024-25 but has failed to fire this term and beat just two in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap hurdle ten days ago; others appeal more. |

Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but has responded positively to this headgear combination the last twice in handicaps over 2m5f and 2m3f (both on good); strong stayer on the Flat so this longer trip is worth a go. |

0-16 over hurdles but all five of this season's runs were respectable and he continues to edge down the weights; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers here; probably won't be far away. |

Consistent once sent into handicaps until disappointing on his final outing in September 2023; something was evidently amiss given subsequent absence and trainer can get them fit at home; on a good mark. |

3-4 over fences, the last two wins gained by wide margins in small fields at Doncaster (2m3f, good/good to soft); shooting up the weights but evidently in very good nick. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

Got right back on the up when making it 2-3 over fences in C&D handicap two weeks ago; hiked up 8lb but well on top at the finish there so he's a big player for stable well among the winners. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

Disappointing at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but reportedly unsuited by that tight track; prior to that he won here (2m, good to soft) on his chase debut, and his last two hurdle wins came over 2m3f; has a strong record at this course and could play a leading role now back here. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has had a couple of close calls at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this winter but he's now 1-26 on the Flat and his only hurdle run was at Kempton (well-held sixth) in December 2022; probably best watched back in this sphere. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well treated on his 2024 exploits and, having returned from a long absence in February, it's possible he's working his way back into form; however, this 8yo is not easy to fancy on the evidence of this year's two runs. |

12th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who doesn't look the easiest of rides and best form thus far has come on good ground; however, she stormed home for 2l fourth on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in November, despite being hampered after final flight, and could prove well treated when things really click. |
7/1 |
Verdict
Flat form could prove of greater significance than hurdling exploits and that angle makes BLOW YOUR HORN (nap) a strong contender. Choirmaster is the second choice.[Alistair Jones]
