11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who is lightly raced; his Irish hurdles win was at 2m3f on heavy; chase win at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December on stable debut and ran respectably here (2m1f, soft) next time, but his step back up to 2m4f at Carlisle on latest start was disappointing. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Long in the tooth and no longer the force of old but bounced back from two poor chase runs with respectable effort over hurdles at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month and is now 5lb lower than when going close in this race a year ago; could have a say. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Very capable over fences but pulled up in that discipline on his last two starts following a break of 217 days; he did go close over hurdles at Aintree three runs ago so there's a big effort in him if he can get his act together. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Returned from layoff with two good efforts over fences last autumn but the rest of last season's chasing form was disappointing; now hurdling for first time since 2023; on good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but needs to have refreshed by latest break. |

Returned from break with two good seconds in the autumn (2m/2m1f), but has lost his way a bit since and is unraced on ground quicker than good to soft (withdrawn from a recent engagement with good deemed unsuitable). |

Won small-field event off today's mark here (3m, soft) in January and will be fine over this shorter trip but ended last season with two poor runs and needs to have been refreshed by eight-month break. |

Ran well in a 2m4f chase at this fixture last year and doubled his tally over fences at Ayr in January (3m, soft); last two runs weren't overly encouraging, though. |

Ended last season with a course win (2m1f, soft) and will be fine over today's longer trip but has been badly out of form this term and seems best suited by soft ground. |

Multiple course scorer but this veteran chaser has been pulled up on his last three runs, including over 2m here last time; hard to warm to. |

Verdict
Travail D’Orfevre is respected off only 3lb higher than for his win at Carlisle in October, while Lively Citizen had a tough assignment at Aintree on his reappearance and this unexposed chaser is respected back in calmer waters. However, preference is for DUTY CALLS, who was only narrowly denied by a progressive rival at Kelso last month and was as good as ever with that clear second.[David Moon]
