10st 12lb |
Improving sort beat Rocheval over 2m6f at Kelso last time; ground-versatile and should go well if coping with this shorter trip (has won at 2m); yard has done well at this meeting over the years. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Lightly raced chaser for whom the cheekpieces are making a difference as he won going away at Windsor (soft) and came from the clouds to be third in Haydock's Grand National Trial (again 3m4f; good to soft; 1lb lower) when ahead of Deafening Silence, Git Maker and Grand Albert; unlikely to be anywhere near the front at the start here but he could be in the finish; stays 4m and he'll surely get this far. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Built upon previous chasing promise to get off the mark at the seventh attempt over fences in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor last month (extended 3m4f, soft; from Holokea); from out of the handicap he's 9lb higher today but is unexposed in the headgear and further improvement is possible. |

0-9 under rules (0-6 over fences) but runner-up three times in a row (3m3f-3m6f, various ground) before beaten about 10l when sixth of 11 in the Borders National at Kelso (4m, soft), where his jumping help him back; it's possible he'll find greater fluency today in first-time cheekpieces; chance. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Disappointed when dropped back to 2m4f here in July but began his chasing career with two promising thirds (2m5f/2m7f, good) and will be suited by today's return to 3m; has a fighting chance if back on song. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice over hurdles and has kicked off over fences with fairly close thirds over 2m5f here and 2m7f at Worcester; looks on the right sort of mark but considered each-way. |

Dual hurdle winner who was beaten 5l on chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m5f; stays this far) where a mistake three out didn't help the cause; should run well. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden (2m3f) last season but a subsequent spell over fences was disappointing, and he has also looked out of sorts back over hurdles this term (three runs; cheekpieces added last time); eased in grade today; needs to turn a corner. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Won a maiden hurdle here last season but chasing halted his progress and he's struggled back over hurdles following a break and wind surgery; now goes in cheekpieces; risky. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Weakened quickly in closing stages at Market Rasen in January and needs to prove his wellbeing but he posted a good effort when clear third on handicap debut at Wincanton (3m, good) in October and is 1lb lower now; big player if back on song. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made good progress when headgear was added in the autumn, winning three times (2m7f-3m1f, good), but was given a break after disappointing run in January and made a low-key reappearance last month; needs to get back in the groove. |

Headgear helped last autumn, with three wins over further, latterly off a 6lb lower mark; has been off for four months since a poor one in blinkers (goes back to cheekpieces tonight) early in the year and will want a good test over this trip. |

10st 6lb |
0-10 in Ireland and 0-7 in Britain; pulled up over C&D in December but that was after a 662-day absence and he was an always-prominent third of 17 to Blue Hop at Doncaster (3m) three weeks ago, so needs a second look. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-13 under rules but made a bright start to chasing when runner-up at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in April following his third wind op; absence since is a slight concern, but otherwise he should not be far away. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Placed twice at up to 2m4f on slow ground over hurdles; below par when last seen in that sphere at Warwick last December; has since had wind surgery and is on a competitive mark if he is able to produce his best on his chase debut. |
8/1 |

Verdict
Magical Arthur has to be respected in his bid to make it four wins from his last five starts but GOLDEN AMBITION is also firmly on the up and can complete a hat-trick following authoritative victories the last twice. Mel Rowley has won two of the last three runnings and her handicap newcomer Galassian is a possible player, while Stay If U Want To and Adveram could also be involved.[Ben Hutton]
