13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge. |
5/4 |

1st 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Now 5lb lower than when second here (1m2f, soft) last October but did not emerge from the rear division when a big-priced outsider for all three subsequent AW runs; considered only if much strong in betting today. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Remains a maiden and has been quiet in four runs after a long absence; no obvious significance in the return of cheekpieces. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-14 over hurdles and has shown little in three runs (2m-2m4f) since returning from a long absence; cheekpieces tried last time quickly dispensed with; plenty to prove. |
12/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Remains winless and he's offered little after a 15-month absence in handicaps (up to 2m4f) at Fontwell and Newbury this winter; cheekpieces are reached for now. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-16 over hurdles but all five of this season's runs were respectable and he continues to edge down the weights; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers here; probably won't be far away. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has shown ability on good ground over hurdles and fences but was disappointing when last seen here in November; has since had a wind op but needs to step up if he's to win this. |

0-7 under rules for Tom Ellis but ran well in defeat on last month's chasing debut at Hereford (3m1f, good); recently changed hands for £6,000; drops back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted on this stable debut. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-20 hurdles but made winning chasing debut over C&D (soft; 7-2, from 2lb lower) last October; well beaten on both subsequent starts, dropping out tamely once headed, finishing well behind Sir Carnegie over C&D three weeks ago; needs to rediscover a spark. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Made a winning debut over fences over C&D in October (soft); bit disappointing when returning from a break when well beaten at Kelso last time (2m5f, good) but should come on for the run. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat over hurdles at Perth last June-September (good/soft) prior to winning on his chase debut there (3m, soft) in October; absent since but he's unexposed over fences and could have more to offer. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Made the frame in two Irish maiden hurdles in 2021 but lightly raced and generally very disappointing for Alison Hamilton in recent years; proved he retains a modicum of ability when sixth at huge odds in recent Perth maiden (2m4f, good) but still makes only limited appeal here. |

6th 6 |
4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed clear promise over hurdles in Ireland in 2021 but he has form figures of PPP0P for current yard and those last three runs were in handicaps; returns after another absence and can only be watched back in a maiden; tongue-tie reapplied. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 180y |
10st 13lb |
12-race maiden has come closest when neck second over C&D on penultimate run (good); put in another good performance here prior to that when third here; pulled up latest at Wexford but if she is to make the breakthrough it is likely to come here and blinkers can help, although soft ground a concern. |
7/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 1lb |
Maiden getting closer, most recently only caught close home over 2m6f at Downpatrick 18 days ago, having been made plenty of use of; 4lb higher but should go well over this less demanding track. |
6/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 11lb |
Finished in front of Benz but 2.5l behind Georgia Celena over C&D when last seen (good); 4lb better off with that rival now; has been running consistently and the cheekpieces worn at Hexham in her run prior now go back on after being left off in her most recent run; she should go close. |

Not disgraced on handicap hurdle debut in May, after a break, but finished well down the field on latest outing and could be considered only if lively in the betting here. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Beaten about 20l when fifth on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) but that run came after a break and he remains unexposed over hurdles; possible improver. |

7th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
