19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Gained two of his five hurdle wins over C&D and was second off mark 7lb higher than today's when making stable debut in this race a year ago (good); lost his way afterwards, though, and absent since heavy fall in November. |

10st 5lb |
Five-time winner for Mark Walford who was runner-up at Hexham (2m, good) in May on his stable debut; however, pulled up there on both runs since (2m, good/good to soft) and returns from a break with something to prove. |

C&D and 2m4f course winner on slow ground; has shown on his last three starts that he is competitive on this mark; each-way player. |

Has rediscovered some form on last two outings, more recently when clear second at Hexham (2m, heavy) last month, and remains well handicapped on past exploits but some of the others appeal more all the same. |

1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Goes well here as both a C&D winner and also a winner over 2m4f last time out; 3lb rise and the return to shorter will be a test for him but he's shown before that he can string a series of wins together. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Veteran who has gained four of his ten hurdle wins at this track and often builds up a big lead; needs to rebound from a disappointing effort here (2m4f) ten days ago but was in a consistent vein of form beforehand and is still on a workable mark. |
7/1 |

Five-time hurdle winner at up to 2m4f, including on soft; was still showing ability on his final start for Brian Ellison in January 2023 but has a bit to prove now, after his recent return from a layoff (pulled up). |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Had tumbled down the weights, with no win since September 2023, until springing a 66-1 surprise over 2m4f here (good to soft) in May; retains handicapping scope from this mark (5lb higher) but it remains to be seen if he's in the same fettle over 3m; chance. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
11yo who is lightly raced for his age; never threatened on his completed starts over fences last season (fell early latest); is a dual hurdle winner but suspicion he might prove vulnerable to some of the much younger legs in this line-up. |
