14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record. |

Both wins have been at Musselburgh, latest a 3m7f handicap chase in February 2024 (good to soft); struggled to win since, but is well handicapped. |

Losing spell goes back to his success in the Edinburgh National two years ago and current mark reflects a decline in his form; not sure to repeat his autumn C&D effort (neck second). |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Inconsistent in recent years but has always been talented and the horse who beat him on his hunter chase debut at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) has run well since in defeat (behind Bardenstown Lad who was well held last week at Cheltenham); Paul Nicholls has won three of the last six runnings of this race. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Formerly smart but inconsistent in recent years and he was pulled up in a 2m7f handicap chase on his return in October (after further wind surgery); still dangerous to dismiss in a hunter chase (debut) on the strength of his close third at Taunton last March (three runs back). |

Smart hurdler and useful chaser in his prime but on a losing wicket over fences for a long time; perhaps he'll be all the better for a return to hurdles, for the first time in three years, but that's up in the air. |

Very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime but has regressed and become inconsistent; ran very poorly in Lingfield marathon last month and needs to respond very positively to the addition of blinkers here. |

11st 12lb |
Punchestown 3m7f handicap chase win in April 2022 (good) remains his most recent under rules, but the first of two point starts netted him a last-gasp Bangor-on-Dee success in March; strike-rate of only 1-11 over 3m3f or more, but this would be easier than almost any of those. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |

Won't fail through lack of stamina but this regressive 11yo never looked dangerous when well-held sixth over C&D last month and is out of the weights today; tongue-tie refitted. |

Fourth of 18 at Cheltenham in October 2024 and he's now 8lb lower; however, this 10yo has run just once since, when tailed off at 33-1 at Leicester last month; needs to prove how much ability he retains. |

20th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |

Thorough stayer, absent since placed in big field at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October 2024; resumes on a good mark and with new headgear tried (usually blinkered) but is entitled to benefit from this outing. |

All out to win last season's 3m3f Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen over Christmas; back from a break with a respectable show at Punchestown in May and this is his type of race; possibilities. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Strike-rate of 4-14 over fences but has seen very little action during the past three years and now returns from an even lengthier absence at the age of 11; potentially very well handicapped should market vibes bode well. |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner; 4-12 over fences, the latest win gained off 2lb higher over C&D (good to soft) in February 2023; shaped as if retaining all his ability at Doncaster on reappearance, and less positive tactics seemed to backfire over a longer trip at Musselburgh next time; should have optimum conditions here and he's high on the list. |

Prominent-racer who went very close in the Durham National at Sedgefield (3m5f, soft) on reappearance and again ran well when third at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last month; stamina is a strong suit and he's respected. |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

Stays further but that may be no bad thing in the conditions and he reappeared with a near-miss in the Durham National (3m5f, soft) in October; ran well in the Eider here in February and he's firmly in calculations. |
