16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins last season, the first a four-runner Huntingdon handicap in May (3m1f, good), the second a six-runner handicap at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; far from disgraced in a competitive race at Aintree last time and not without a chance despite career-high mark. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Ridden last ten starts by William Maggs; seventh hurdle win when seeing off five rivals at Newbury (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago but even a 2lb nudge seems likely to stop him in this much more competitive scenario. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ridden last nine starts by William Maggs; rarely seen on soft ground; six-time winner, most recently last May; good placed efforts at about 3m four times in a row in October-December, before he failed to show in a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh (10-1) nearly seven weeks ago; best form this term was over C&D, so he's not entirely ruled out. |

She's a 16-race maiden but she ran well when second here (2m4f, good to soft) last month off a career-low mark (behind comfortable winner Lihyan who is due to run in the 1:55); back up 1lb today; might not be far away. |

On dangerous mark but she's still a maiden after 15 starts and has an uninspiring record of 4937677547 in handicaps; others preferred. |

10st 4lb |
0-12 over hurdles; ran well when fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last month but was not seen to same effect over 2m7f there a fortnight later; drops back in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Remains winless but cheekpieces back on when a good fourth of 15 in 2m4f handicap here 15 days ago; shortlisted with the headgear again sported. |

Placed off 1lb higher here (2m, good) last June and might have needed last month's reappearance run (tailed off before last-flight fall) but he's 0-10 over hurdles now and and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |

11st 0lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in June 2022 (2m, good); some fair efforts over fences and hurdles without winning since, last time finishing creditable fifth in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good; cheekpieces tried); headgear retained; worth considering. |

Did not progress after winning maiden hurdle in June 2022 but gave pretty good account when close fourth of 11 at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; drops back in trip with tongue-tie and cheekpieces both refitted; one to consider. |

No win since November 2021 (2m7f, Market Rasen) and well beaten on her last start over hurdles at Musselburgh late last year; sole run this year came on AW at Newcastle (2m; sixth of eight, beaten 22l at 125-1); anything but convincing despite this lowly mark. |

Off the mark over hurdles at fifth attempt, rallying gamely to regain lead on run-in at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last week; has plenty of scope for further progress but the forecast rain is a worry here. |

Fourth in a bumper in October 2022 (2m1f, good); not shown a great deal over hurdles and well beaten after a break at Musselburgh when last seen out in December (tongue-tie on for first time); probably best watched on return from another break. |

Hasn't the best of win records (4-43 over hurdles), last win coming over 2m2f here in September 2023; good fourth over 2m5f here last month, but tailed off last time; 10lb out of the handicap. |

Returned to form with 2l fourth of 11 behind Looking Splendid at Kelso (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; however, it's over two years since this 10yo last won and he's even further out of the handicap this afternoon. |

Won twice here (including over C&D) in 2023 but this year's pointing form is uninspiring and he has struggled back over fences and hurdles in last three starts; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove. |

Yet to win but not fully exposed and has shown ability; last seen when brought down in May and has since had a wind op, but she needs to improve if she's to land this. |
