16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue. |

2nd 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Started off for Sarah Humphrey with two disappointing hurdle runs in the autumn but has turned things around over fences since, and kept on well to win by 7l at Huntingdon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; recent 6lb rise demands more from him here, though. |

All three wins over hurdles when trained in Ireland; running well at present and second of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) last month; threatening to get his head in front for this yard. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this last year when 2lb higher (good); ran well in fifth of 15 at Catterick in January, when not quite seeing out the 2m3f trip, and he unseated mid-race there last time; could have a big part to play. |
4/1 |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
All three wins on good ground but some useful form on soft; first win for this yard at Sedgefield (2m1f; off 2lb higher) last March but he's needed some excuses since; should be suited by the return to a shorter trip but will need to be right on his game to win today. |
8/1 |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Beaten upwards of 12l in four starts since winning in a tongue-tie at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in March; stays this trip and he's back down to that winning mark, though; hood (reapplied last time) comes off again. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Went close off 8lb higher in this race (good) last year but he's generally struggled since (Flat and hurdles) and was a remote fourth of five here last time; that took his losing run to 12 and others are preferred. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won over 1m6f here last August off 3lb higher but below form since; showed a bit more when third of five over C&D (good) 19 days ago, however, and a further 2lb drop in the weights gives him a fighting chance. |
5/2 |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 1lb lower than his win here over 1m6f (good) last August but he's been well beaten in three starts this summer, on this track and at Ayr; bit to prove. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences (despite a lower mark) and was beaten a good way at Hexham (3m) on his return to this discipline after a break; the other two appeal more. |
100/30 |
|
4th 4 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, including over 2m on heavy ground here; decent second over fences at Sedgefield in October (3m2f, good) but last two runs have been over hurdles (took a heavy fall when running well last time); a possible. |
13/2 |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Had a break since finishing lame when second on his return to hurdles at Newcastle in October (2m7f, good; handles softer); looks high in the weights now but he's likeably consistent. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Hasn't had that much racing for a 10yo; enjoys this ground and has a solid record over C&D, so one to consider as he ran quite well last time at Bangor in a higher grade (finished last but weakened only late on). |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Late-maturing 10yo who won twice last spring and maintained progress with some good runs in defeat in second half of last year; may not have been suited by soft ground when pulled up on latest outing; not out of this. |
6/1 |

Verdict
Hostile Hotelier is very likely to give another good account but this can go to Flat stayer RORY THE CAT (nap), who won twice as a juvenile hurdler here last season and ought to be suited by this new trip. Lucinda Russell’s 5yo was below form when back over hurdles at Wetherby last month but he wasn’t the only one blown away by the all-the-way winner there and that defeat should not be viewed harshly. Kilbrainy is next on the list.[Chris Wilson]
