10st 13lb |
Not much went to plan on his three starts for for Warren Greatrex in the spring but he looked in excellent nick when winning easily by 8l at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; likely contender off 10lb higher mark here. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now but won here (3m2f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) in the autumn and was placed over C&D (good to soft) on last two appearances, more recently when keeping on to snatch modest second in higher-grade company; ought to make his presence felt again. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Veteran C&D winner who arrives in good nick, third of 14 over C&D last month; he can go well again off an unchanged mark. |
4/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Inconsistent 12yo who was well beaten at Kelso last time; however, two visits to Carlisle have yielded two wins (3m/3m2f, good/soft), the latest in November; firmly in calculations now back here. |

11st 5lb |
Scored off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) in June but all three subsequent runs were disappointing and he now has questions to answer again; new headgear tried. |
14/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month and is still well handicapped on older form, but was soundly beaten on his last two outings and now has questions to answer again. |
10/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Exploited some help from the handicapper when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) this month and is still on a workable mark after going back up 5lb but needs to rebound quickly from disappointing run on Saturday. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has won twice over hurdles, the second a C&D novice handicap at this meeting in 2024; some fair runs over fences last term, but has yet to find his form this season. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
17th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did not fire at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-5 over fences but his clear second at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago was a good effort and he'll be suited by the forecast good ground here. |
3/1 |

6th 3 |
8th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Sent chasing over 3m+ for last four starts, beaten a nose on first occasion and good second with first-time headgear at Catterick on latest; that requires respect but worse than good to soft ground would be a worry. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft) in December and returned to form at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago, when he was narrowly in front when falling two out; won over hurdles here last May and he's on the shortlist. |
5/2 |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
He's failed to shine on his three starts since his chase win at Musselburgh in December, last time tailed off over hurdles here; however, he won three times last year, including over hurdles here, and is not written off. |
5/1 |
|
10th 8 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins, the first over this C&D on soft, last year; hasn't been at his best on last two starts but has an each-way chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course scorer and also a dual 3m winner at Wetherby and Southwell in the spring; lost her chance with a blunder 3 out at Perth (3m) 11 days ago so can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hard to knock her last five efforts in handicap hurdles at about 3m and no reason why she won't give another good account of herself; might be a tad high in the weights now. |
13/2 |

4th 1 |
3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Revitalised 9yo who ended last season with two good-ground wins (one over C&D) and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival at Bangor (2m7f, good) last month; obvious contender in current form. |

22nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ex-French; last April's win was in a point and he's 0-9 under rules in Britain; third of 13 in handicap at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last June on latest outing, which gives him a place chance if he's okay after the break. |

11st 3lb |
Won a 2m3f chase (soft) when trained by Guillaume Macaire; unable to replicate his French form for either Rebecca Menzies or Stuart Coltherd but did win a point for the latter in April; more needed back under rules. |

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. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-20 over fences and although he finished second here (4m) in March, he has run below that since at Carlisle and back over hurdles at Perth; requires an extreme test to be seen at his best. |
33/1 |

8th 9 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both hurdle wins came over 3m/3m1f on soft back in 2022; fair second in a 4m h'cap chase at Hexham last month (soft), but not so good last time. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on second (no threat to winner) at Hexham (4m, soft) last month and is also well suited by this track but is far too inconsistent to rely upon and would appeal more on soft/heavy ground. |

Placed in his two Irish points in 2023 but has accomplished little in six races under rules, pulled up this term in both his chases (3m, soft); now tries cheekpieces. |
