Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
11yo whose losing run goes back 11 races to November 2024 but he ran pretty well off his lower hurdle mark at Musselburgh last month, following a break, and all four of his wins have come over fences (two of them here); not discounted back chasing. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over fences at Sedgefield last autumn and kept on for creditable second of 12 behind Ocean Legacy when back over hurdles there (3m3f, good to soft) in February; absent since disappointing C&D run in March but resumes on a workable mark. |

0-19 over fences and has struggled in her last two starts, both over C&D; being 9lb wrong in the handicap doesn't help. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Point/hurdle winner but 0-18 over fences; good second in a four-runner mares' handicap chase at Catterick in February (3m1f, soft) but pulled up last time. |

Yet to get her head in front over fences but she posted a good second of four in 3m1f Catterick handicap last month; both her hurdling wins came here too, so she's not out of things. |

Late-blooming veteran who is best known as a Cartmel specialist; drew clear to win by 3m5f there (good ground) last spring but signed off in the autumn with two disappointing runs and remains on a fairly tough mark. |

A three-time chase winner at up to 3m2f last term for Stuart Coltherd and he comes here on the back of a couple of placed efforts in the pointing field in February; this veteran must enter calculations. |

All five wins have been on good ground, so the weather needs watching, but he also had that when pulled up over fences last time; on a useful mark if putting his best foot forward back over hurdles. |
