11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Another in this field who took in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, finishing a good fifth of 24 to Supremely West; should be competitive again but nothing in his record suggests he has enough in hand to win a race as hot as this. |

10st 4lb |
Never-dangerous tenth in this race last year; ran creditably on three of his four starts this season, second in the Musselburgh qualifier last time, but he's an exposed 8yo who needs to show something new. |

Generally fast-weakening efforts since returning from a winter break, so the recourse to wind surgery is unsurprising; mark never lower, but effectiveness down at 2m4f hasn't been tested since March 2024. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |

Three-time hurdles winner, most recently at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in April last year, but pulled up twice since returning from a break this spring and again ran below form when fifth of six, beaten 21l, at Huntingdon last month; best watched for now. |

10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |

3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |

Enhanced his good record here when inheriting first place over 3m5f in May (same mark) and the drop back to 2m5f found him out when fourth to Charlie Uberalles two months ago; this race is a better fit; third 12 months ago on heavy ground. |

Below par on last two hurdle starts but may have needed recent run; on a competitive mark on last season's best hurdle form (won over 3m on good ground) and this 6yo showed ability in a point-to-point in May 2022; interesting contender on chase debut. |
