20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time winner, the latest at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) last May, and she hasn't been running badly this season (good to soft/soft); edging back down the weights and might not be far away. |
5/1 |

4th 5 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has won on soft but best form on good to soft or quicker; yard continues in fine form but Either Or had her measure at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month and she has no strong turnaround claims. |

28th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
12yo who has been unable to threaten this season but has been in fair form of late, finishing fourth to Kinder Kid over C&D (soft) last Tuesday from 3lb out of the handicap (same today); each-way possibilities. |
12/1 |

4th 8 |
19th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in recent weeks (3m3f/3m1f) and is effectively 1lb lower today but was no match for the easy winner on either occasion and younger rivals in this line-up appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
3rd Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner; gave good account when second of four at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) nine days ago but was no match for the winner (who was 0-26 over hurdles beforehand) and is out of the weights again here; younger rivals are much more appealing. |

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 |
|
4th 7 |
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. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); has struggled with consistency, but a leading player if reproducing his latest third of eight at Exeter last month. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); versatile regarding going but yet to race on good to firm; on a competitive mark if he can shrug off a lesser effort over C&D latest. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dual course winner, latterly off 3lb higher over C&D (soft) just under a year ago; out of form this season, though, and needs to turn a corner; wore cheekpieces the last twice; visor tried today. |
14/1 |

10th 3 |
7th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Now back on same mark as for hard-fought win at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft) last March but dropped out of contention very tamely on final two starts last year (cheekpieces added last time) and comes here with a point to prove. |
12/1 |

5th 4 |
19th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Ended last season in good form, most notably when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft); made a satisfactory reappearance last month but dropped out very quickly after making the running at Market Rasen on latest outing and needs to put that performance behind her; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-12 over hurdles; ran well when second in first-time visor at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) two starts ago but is far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily, and drying ground may not be ideal for him on this chasing debut. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |

Won over hurdles but out of form in that discipline before suffering another heavy defeat on chase debut (2m4f handicap, good); cheekpieces enlisted this time. |

14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Hasn't been at his best on last two starts over hurdles (on good ground last time) having won a Hereford novice handicap off 2lb lower in January (2m3f, good to soft, tongue-tie on for first time); bit to prove now chasing. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 10y |
11st 10lb |
Won off 6lb lower at Punchestown last November (24.5f, good); latest third at Killarney was a remote one; best form is on a sound surface so the forecast rain is a worry. |
9/1 |

3rd 4 |
18th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Won twice in the space of four days over fences in November 2024; came on from return with a 3l defeat at Punchestown last month despite some errors; however, subsequent effort at Tipperary wasn't encouraging; 7lb above last winning mark. |
10/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 35y |
