7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Close second at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bounced back from Ascot blip when third at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) recently, albeit soundly beaten by the first two; the step back up in trip might help and he's a possible player if conditions suit; unproven on soft ground. |

11st 13lb |
Unproven on soft ground and tailed off at Ascot last time, although that was in a hot Class 2; went close in Class 3 at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago and not ruled out now back down in grade. |

11st 5lb |
Won two points last year, first over 2m4f on good, the second a two-runner race; well beaten in maiden hurdle and pulled up in a novice handicap chase on his two runs since; bit to prove. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
11-race maiden who signed off for James Ewart with two poor runs in headgear (now removed) in February/March; makes stable debut from a tempting mark but needs to have been revitalised by his new regime and is untested on ground this quick. |

11st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden; fair third over 1m7f at Hexham in April (heavy); subsequently had wind surgery and hasn't run as well since, last time with cheekpieces tried; blinkers on this time and also up in trip (first run at 3m); improvement needed. |

Poor form so far; cheekpieces now tried; plenty to find. |

Verdict
A trappy contest, mainly because of uncertainty about fitness and what ability remains after a long layoff for LEITRIM CHIEF. However, trainer James Ewart can get one ready after an absence and, in the hope that wind surgery has proved positive, his entrant gets the tentative vote on the strength of the promise he showed early in 2022. Here Comes Georgie is going the right way and looks the clear next best.[Jonathan Doidge]
