18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Won two small-field handicaps at Kelso (soft/heavy) over the extended 2m7f, easily on penultimate start (made most) despite the odd jumping indiscretion; wore cheekpieces that day and again when an excellent second of 17, coming from out the back, in the NH Chase at Cheltenham (3m6f, good to soft); his jumping can be a bit sticky but he's a prime candidate for 4m. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Twice successful in small-field handicaps at Kelso (soft/heavy) over the extended 2m7f, easily on latest start (made most) despite the odd jumping indiscretion; wore first-time cheekpieces that day, in response to his Windsor run (3m, soft) in which he got going a good deal later even than the winner Guard The Moon; up 10lb since last time but he now looks a prime candidate for serious stamina tests such as this if his jumping holds up. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Won over C&D (soft) in December on second chase start; got detached before keeping on for fourth of five, beaten just over 5l, at Windsor (3m, soft) four weeks ago; this lightly raced 7yo might be just the type to benefit from the cheekpieces and he retains potential for his good yard. |

11st 0lb |
Winning pointer and looks a winner waiting to happen under rules, last time holding her own in a 3m Listed race at Doncaster (good to soft); ran well over 2m4f the time before so this trip shouldn't be too big an issue; the one to beat. |

Won a point in Ireland; has run well in all four British starts (2m-2m7f) without showing the requisite level of form to be winning this; probably placed at best. |

2-8 in points and 1-5 under rules; took a handicap at Market Rasen (2m7f, good; 2lb higher today) in March 2025 but heavy defeats in his only two runs since; at least he could be back on good ground today; trainer had a winner 11 days ago. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very lightly raced point winner who scored in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Uttoxeter (3m2f, soft) in January on his second chase/handicap start; open to further improvement and today's test could be an ideal fit. |

Irish point winner who was close up in two of his three maiden hurdles for James Ewart, both times over 3m on soft; finished last of the three finishers on stable/chase/handicap debut at Newcastle in December (2m7f, good to soft) but it wasn't a bad run; could improve and should be fitter; cheekpieces added. |

Fifth in two bumpers but he found improvement upped in trip on hurdling debut when runner-up at Catterick (2m3f, soft) two weeks ago; that was behind an easy winner and this task is tougher in this deeper race but he's a half-brother to a fairly useful hurdler and it wouldn't be a surprise if he took another good step forward. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
C&D winner last spring; back from a winning spell over fences with a very good second of six in 2m Hexham handicap hurdle 22 days ago; another bold showing is on the cards nudged up 1lb with that form having been well advertised since. |

Dual hurdles winner whose latest success was a handicap chase at Sedgefield in February (2m, good to soft); better handicapped over hurdles; over 8l behind Filibustering at Newcastle last time but meets the winner on 7lb better terms. |

Enough in his final two races last year (one here) suggested a return to 2m3f-2m4f is worth a go, having paid for trying to take on the winner on his previous run at such a trip; longest absent in the line-up. |
