11st 2lb |
Made the frame on first two starts this season (3m2f/3m1f) and ran better than eventual 27l defeat might suggest when fifth at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; big player if combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear has desired effect. |

AW bumper/minor hurdle winner; in fair form over hurdles last spring but makes his stable debut after eight months off and his last Flat run was back in April 2023. |

2-29 under rules and no win since the start of 2023; third on good ground at Newcastle (2m1f) and Carlisle (2m3f) in his last two starts, though, and each-way possibilities again. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent 10yo who was pulled up at Newcastle 19 days ago; however, he won here (2m4f, good) last April on the back of being pulled up twice in a row, so it will be no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't always been consistent but won twice last season, including over 2m4f here (good to soft); made a winning reappearance at Wetherby in December (2m3f, soft) and creditable staying-on fourth over 2m4f here last time; quite interesting back up in trip. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

Not always one to rely upon but ended last season with 6l win at Kelso (2m4f, good) and rewarded persistent Patrick Wadge ride on reappearance outing at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in December; can feature if change of headgear helps to motivate him here. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has some useful hurdle/chase form on his CV but yet to add to his Irish maiden hurdle win in 2019 and getting long in the tooth now; well beaten over hurdles this month; headgear switched for chase return; 4lb wrong. |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |

10st 2lb |
Won two handicap hurdles in the spring of 2022 (3m/3m3f, good to soft); has been rather disappointing in his six runs over fences; no easy task from 4lb out of the handicap. |
