5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |
10st 7lb |
Three-time hurdle winner including 3m1f Ayr handicap in November 2024; two chase efforts since return didn't measure up; pulled up over hurdles at Navan in December; cheekpieces. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful hurdler who gained last season's win on her reappearance outing at Ayr (3m, good); should be fine over this stiff 2m5f on her chasing debut but others in this field probably have more potential. |

11st 10lb |
Two wins on soft/heavy over 3m at Ayr last January; some fair efforts since; return to this trip should suit but best form on softer ground. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Course specialist who won two in a row over C&D (heavy/soft) in January; he's better than he showed when 15l third over C&D (soft) in February and the subsequent break may have helped, but this 10yo may still be vulnerable back up in grade. |

11st 2lb |
Second in this race in 2022, fourth in 2023 and 12th in 2024; no win since February 2023 and generally little impact since; tried a tongue-tie latest start and now reverts to his usual cheekpieces. |

2nd Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
He may have needed last month's comeback run here (soundly beaten) and he continues to drop down the weights, but for good reason; last season was disappointing in the main; needs to turn things around; a tongue-tie goes on. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who was as good as ever in winning at Kelso (2m5f, good) and Ayr (3m, good to soft) last year and his Doncaster third in December was no backward step; has won after a break in the past so he needs taking seriously. |

11st 6lb |
Only beaten 4l in this last year when 5lb higher and best run since was her latest when runner-up at Kelso (3m2f); although some 14l off the winner, she was on the back foot after early interference and ran well all things considered; respected. |

11st 8lb |
Placed off 3lb higher in North Wales National at Bangor (3m5f, heavy) in February but has been well beaten on all three starts since, most recently when upped to 4m and fitted with cheekpieces (retained) for Borders National here three weeks ago; needs to turn a corner. |
