14th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Bagged a second C&D victory in November but his more recent form is less encouraging, only sixth over C&D last time; handily weighted if getting back on track, though. |

Resumed winning ways over C&D in November and posted a respectable sixth of ten in 3m Musselburgh handicap chase following month; much respected for his in-form yard after a break. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins over fences, one over C&D, in March 2025 (good/good to soft); ran one of his best races since when second at Hexham (1m7f, good) last time and should go well again. |
9/2 |

2nd 6 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Mixed form this term but when soundly beaten at Carlisle last time he was in a competitive series final; now just 2lb higher than when readily completing a double at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) last March so can go well if back on song; tongue-tie added to cheekpieces adopted last time. |

This month last year he won successive handicap chase at 2m4f (good) and 2m1f (good to soft); hasn't recaptured that form (beaten 12l when second two runs ago) but cheekpieces are now given a go. |

Won three times over fences in the 2022-23 season and well handicapped on that form; however, he struggled on his final two outings last term (hurdles/fences) and was pulled up over hurdles at Ayr on January 2 when back from an absence; others arrive with less to prove. |

Returns from an absence on a handy mark and having had wind surgery, and he's won here twice over fences; however, he was tailed off on his last two starts (hurdles/fences) and his best form has come in chases. |

11st 3lb |
Absent since below-par run in December but returned from break with creditable second at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft; stays much further) in November and won when fresh last spring; has travelled from Northumberland for this race and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester in May; absolute shocker at Warwick (also 2m4f, good) 29 days again, though, beaten 62l with no obvious excuses. |

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; did it well last time and a 4lb rise may not stop him. |

After three successive pull-ups over fences he got back on track when close up in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Monday when in a first-time visor; if turned out again he'd command a level of respect. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Ran fairly well in 3m1f hurdle in January but was pulled up in all three subsequent chases; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor; can't be supported with much confidence. |

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |

Made it 0-7 over fences when pulled up at Hexham two months ago after a long absence; might be happier back hurdling but has been very lightly raced in recent seasons and it's questionable what ability he retains. |

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

Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Stays at least this far and was in good form over fences for most of last year, but he has a bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Eight-time chase winner at up 3m1f but he's well into the veteran stage now and has struggled in three points this year; this looks tough on these terms back over regulation fences and others are preferred. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |

Looked rather gone at the game last winter so connections and rider Jack Power have done brilliantly to get his enthusiasm back at his age; he completed the hat-trick a shade cosily at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; won on soft twice in midwinter) in March and another win is on the cards. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over C&D on good ground last season, including in this race, his mark going up 14lb as a result; won over 1m7f off his new mark here last time; up another 4lb but should again be competitive. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won three in a row over 3m here last spring (good/good to soft); returned from an absence with encouraging sixth over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) recently; however, he may well find today's trip inadequate. |
10/1 |

6th 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In excellent form over fences last spring, winning three times at Hexham (3m, good/good to soft); can cope with drop back in trip for this first hurdling start since 2022 but has fitness to prove after 294-day layoff. |

Verdict
Lightly raced 6yo FLASH DU PISTOLET was a promising fourth on last month’s chase debut at Kelso, when back from an absence, and he can build on that and come out on top today. C&D winner Ribeye was a good third at Newcastle last time and is feared most, although Return Fire, The Paddy Pie and Kicksaftersix can also have good cases made judged on recent performances.[Ben Hutton]
