11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
11yo who was runner-up at Warwick (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve but he's had a heavy defeat and a fall in two subsequent runs; new headgear is now tried but he's hard to predict and has not won since October 2024; down the list. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
11yo who was runner-up at Warwick (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve but he's hard to predict and was tailed off at Ludlow (visor added) last time; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
11yo who has an up-and-down profile but finished second at Warwick (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; versatile ground-wise; major player if backing up that good performance with another; wears a first-time visor. |

Ex-Jedd O'Keefe; good second at Uttoxeter in June (3m, good); hasn't jumped well on either start for new yard; cheekpieces now tried; others stronger. |

6th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Makes rules debut after long layoff but he made the frame in three Irish points in 2021 and is an each-way player if retaining that ability. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has won three races over fences, the latest off this mark over C&D in October (good); has not been in top form last few starts; could bounce back. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has only won over fences (three times) and still held some sort of chance when unseating nine days ago at Market Rasen; his hurdle form isn't so convincing, though. |
20/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has won three chases, the latest at Hexham in October; not at his best on last two runs but on a fair mark now and could go well. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
In-form staying mare whose wins in December/February flanked second-place finishes; made the frame at Newbury most recently; may no longer be a step ahead of the assessor but still holds reasonably solid claims. |
6/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 since returned to hurdling in the autumn, the latter win gained in four-runner mares' race at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) a fortnight ago; evidently in very good nick but has quite a bit more on her plate here. |
7/1 |

1st 3 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Couldn't get much going over fences but form figures of 122 since returned to hurdling at Class 4 level; up a grade here off a career-high mark, but this assured stayer has plenty in her favour otherwise. |
11/4 |
Verdict
This would be a golden opportunity for THE NEWEST ONE should he run here in preference to an alternative date at Cheltenham. If he runs there instead then Hey Brother would be preferred ahead of We Got Your Back.[Alistair Jones]
