9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten in all three chases last season and also out of form over hurdles this term; considered only if lively in the betting. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner; safely held on both outings (cheekpieces refitted last time) since returning in November from a break but suited by slow ground and might be perked up by first-time blinkers; worth a glance in the betting. |

Inconsistent last season and well beaten on both outings this term; however, he may have needed his latest run in November and won this two years ago; not written off. |

11st 12lb |
Three-time chase winner (at up to 3m) who was runner-up over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March but he's inconsistent and made it 0-10 over hurdles when tailed off at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; needs to bounce back; non-runner when due to wear these blinkers for the first time 5:47 Southwell Monday. |

Won off 7lb higher over fences here (3m, good to soft) last April; 0-9 over hurdles but runner-up in this discipline at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; one of two for trainer with a good record in the race; chance. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Returned to hurdling after a layoff with a narrow win at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November; has had another break since but still looks on a workable mark and has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; shortlisted. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last May, despite some rather sketchy jumping, and returned from a layoff with good hurdle run in January; below form twice since, though (chase/hurdle), and needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |

19th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Raced too freely and flopped badly when upped to 2m5f for last month's chasing debut but his fourth over hurdles here (2m3f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago was promising, and he remains lightly raced; hooded for this first attempt at 3m; no surprise if he features. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

0-6 over hurdles but caught the eye when keeping on well for fourth in today's headgear combination at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month and has possibilities here if he takes well to fences. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Back in good form in refitted cheepieces this spring, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) before very respectable third at Hexham (2m7f, good); not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip or the switch back to blinkers but still considered. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble at Newton Abbot (good; cheekpieces added) last month and followed up there 21 days later off a 6lb higher mark; now up to a career-high mark off a further 5lb rise but remains unexposed as a stayer. |

Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble with his smooth success over C&D (good; cheekpieces added) three weeks ago; up 6lb but he beat a clear second last time and he's still unexposed at this sort of trip; big player. |

16-race maiden who hasn't looked at home on testing ground in her last three races; has had her share of disappointments on goodish ground but her second here in March of last year on good to soft isn't forgotten. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |

1-38 over hurdles, the win gained at Hexham (2m, good) last May; his good days have become infrequent, though, and he's 3lb out of the weights today; not the percentage call. |

Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap. |

Runner-up at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March and comfortably went one better when dropped back to 2m1f at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in May; a 6lb rise isn't harsh and he's unexposed at this sort of distance; player. |

Point-to-point bumper runner-up who has struggled since in two 3m points and three novice hurdles; however, he makes his handicap debut off a basement mark and a market check is advised. |
