19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Used to like it here, not out of the first three in five starts including over fences and when winning a novice hurdle in 2023; first start for this yard when far from disgraced in Taunton hunter chase (about 2m5f, good) in January but his 20l defeat at Cocklebarrow (3m) later that month was disappointing; still not ruled out. |

10th Apr 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Better known as a chaser and he hasn't been able to exploit his lower hurdle mark in two starts this year, tailed off last time at Doncaster (2m5f, good); has never run over this far either so has plenty to prove. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enjoys good ground; bumped into the enigmatic Numitor on a good day at Hereford last month (2m5f) but this 10yo also struggles with his consistency; he's capable but risky enough. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |

Enjoys good ground on which he beat the useful Mahons Glory by 8l at Market Rasen in September (2m5f); tailed off since then on either side of a 140-day break but those were strong handicaps; respected. |

19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has yet to build on a good third back from a break in May, although he faced a stiff task from out of the weights in a Class 2 at Uttoxeter last month; down 2lb and this is easier but he's become unreliable and others have more pressing claims. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Close third (just behind Coastguard Station) at Kelso (2m1f, good) last month, despite not jumping particularly well, but was below form on next outing and has become very unreliable; 1lb wrong here; cheekpieces refitted. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won this 12 months ago on his reappearance when 4lb lower and then finished a 2l second to Primoz at Wetherby, the form of which could be reversed on these more favourable terms; consistent and should have every chance. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Made the most of a reduced mark to snap his losing run over 2m4f at Newcastle (good) and a 4lb rise should be workable if he can repeat that performance; has held his form in the past. |
9/2 |

1st 2 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
21 months since his last win, an authoritative one in the Perth Silver Cup (2m4f, good to firm; from 5lb higher); beaten 26l, 16l and 14l respectively in three runs since April 2025; good ground is ideal, so probably worth considering with his trainer in such fine form. |

On a competitive mark on best form but lacks recent match practice and needs to prove he retains peak ability; below-par fourth in two starts last year, both in the spring; absent since. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 6lb |
A Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler in his younger days, far from the force of old but still well capable; latest win came in handicap chase over C&D in September; down the field at Leopardstown and in veterans' event at Wexford last twice; dropped 3lb; 3-6 at this track and each-way player. |

Fine servant won a Grade 1 juvenile hurdle and most recent successes came in 2m4f Kilbeggan handicap chases last year; penultimate Thurles fourth his best recent effort, stamina test probably beyond him in valuable 2m6f Leopardstown handicap latest; more suitable trip/ground here and drops in grade. |

Fine servant won a Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at this meeting in 2021; a record of 5-43 over fences and a decent effort at Thurles last time, but needs more from 1lb out of the handicap. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |

Has been well out of form since returning in September from a break and has offered little switched to hunter chases this year; now back in handicap company for his leading stable and down to a potentially workable mark, but recent efforts temper enthusiasm. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |

Odds-on third in this race last year before comfortably making all in Stratford hunter chase (2m1f, good) in May; hasn't got near the latter form in eight starts since September however and latest pulled up, despite attracting some support, was a third non completion in a row; others look safer. |

He was in better form when runner-up in this last year having won his previous race; very disappointing when pulled up back here just before Christmas and then unseated at Ludlow when 33-1; hard to trust right now. |

10yo who wasn't at his best last year but all six of his wins have come here and his third of six over C&D (good to soft) in November was a step back in the right direction; another 2lb lower today; in calculations. |
