17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
His chase form has been mixed this season but he faced a tough task from out of the handicap at the Cheltenham Festival (pulled up); runner-up at Kempton (2m5f) in November on last hurdle start and he was second over fences at this meeting 12 months ago (3m); might not be a forlorn hope today. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
9yo who was progressive last season, winning three times (2m5f/3m, good/good to soft); he didn't run badly when fifth at Ascot (3m, soft) in January last time but is 9lb out of the handicap today, so faces a tough task. |

Form dipped last time but otherwise a consistent sort and may rebound; however, looks considerably more exposed than some of these rivals and possibly has nothing in hand off current mark. |

11st 5lb |
Two wins at around 2m4f on good ground include one here a year ago; he did score over 3m in a point in 2022, but two weakening efforts in the spring took his rules record beyond 2m5f to 6664; blinkers go on. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
C&D winner who has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark, but modest in two starts since returning in March as when around 40l behind Cloudy Wednesday at Fakenham (3m, good) last month; has undergone wind surgery since then and interesting to see how he fares with a first-time tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces. |

Not getting any younger and no longer the force of old but posted a sound effort when third over C&D (soft) last month and is another 2lb lower today; can make his presence felt again. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Without a win since 2021 but has made the frame on all four starts this season, most notably when second at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) two runs ago; continues to slip down the weights and has possibilities if the first-time cheekpieces give him a boost. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Four wins divided between hurdles and fences; has raced mostly at about 2m but seemed to stay Sedgefield's extended 2m3f (soft) when runner-up three weeks ago; drops into a Class 5 here and must have a chance. |

12st 0lb |
Defied 5lb higher mark over hurdles last April (2m4f, good to soft) but has been lacklustre this season, including in three chase runs; did at least shape a bit better last time (beaten 15l) and this is weak. |

Won in fairly good style off today's mark over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) last April but struggled on seasonal debut in November and pulled up in two subsequent chases; big leap of faith required to support her after those lacklustre efforts. |

Two good efforts at about 2m5f in midwinter but she's been pulled up on her latest two starts and can only watch from 6lb wrong. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Generally solid for this yard, winning his latest two races on officially good ground, at 2m5f and 2m3f, just prevailing over a well-treated one here latterly; up in trip but the first win was on Carlisle's stiff track so he could stay this far; considered. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Gentle progression this spring culminated in April's Carlisle win (2m5f, good), and possible excuses both starts since (boiled over; 2m1f too sharp); no RPR better than 91 when there's been give in the ground. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Came good for Sam England at third attempt, readily winning Carlisle chase (2m5f, good) by over 8l last month, and reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries before this month's poor run at Hexham; can be dangerous if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Easily the most experienced over fences, and a 2m4f win here (good) off 17lb higher rounded off a spring 2024 hat-trick; no successes since, however, and it's a push to say this step up to 3m has long been needed. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won three chases in a row (2m-2m4f, good-soft) in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; beaten out of sight when 20-1 at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; revival needed. |
10/1 |

7th 6 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Completed chase hat-trick in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; May's second of three at Ludlow (2m4f, good) was encouraging but she's been soundly beaten since and was weak in the market when an early casualty over C&D last month; easy to look elsewhere. |
