16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner (once over C&D); runner-up on the AW in January and returned to this discipline with very respectable fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; likely contender. |

Came second off basement Flat mark on latest outing in January and is well handicapped for this return to hurdling but she's not as good as she was and has become inconsistent; others appeal more. |

The winner of two bumpers and three hurdles; likes good ground; jumped well on recent chase debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) and was beaten just over 3l; that was after 202 days away, so there is good reason to believe he can improve again. |

Back from a break with a clearcut win over C&D (good to soft) in December and he's finished runner-up in three subsequent starts; up another 2lb but he had a near-miss at Market Rasen (2m7f) last time and this return to quicker ground is no problem (won a point on good to firm); respected. |

C&D maiden winner (May 2022); has raced just once since fourth to Well Planted over C&D (Class 3, good; beaten over 11l) last August; entitled to strip fitter for that Uttoxeter comeback run, but will need to improve to be positively involved; stablemate of Annie Agnew. |

Came good with ready win in C&D maiden in May 2022 and followed up in Kelso novice later that month; made low-key seasonal debut in June but might have needed that outing and can't be ruled out; would probably prefer good ground but has won on good to soft. |

Unlucky to lose last June's Uttoxeter chase win (3m, good) on a medical technicality; wheels came off in the autumn but she has revived for current yard, keeping on well for Higham and High Easter open successes on good to firm; could prove the answer. |

Unlucky to lose June's hard-fought Uttoxeter chase win (3m, good) off this mark, when an ovarian tumour removed a month later was found to have increased her testosterone levels; effectiveness at today's shorter trip is long proven and this looks an easier contest than the 0-120 last time. |

Without a win since 2023 and was out of form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; this year's Flat form has been fairly respectable but he's on the downgrade and makes only limited appeal back in this sphere. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |

Close third of three in a Dunsmore open (good to soft) on her most recent pointing start, but her quirkier side was also evident this year having run out under two different riders; risks attached therefore, and she offered nothing on a sole previous chasing start (3m, 0-120) in autumn 2024. |
