12st 0lb |
Lots to prove regarding current form having been struggled over fences/hurdles on his three starts this season, but they've all been on good ground which might not have suited; not discounted off dangerous mark. |

10st 6lb |
Last season he won 3m handicaps at Doncaster and Wetherby (both on good ground); his Ffos Las return was encouraging given the time he'd been absent and the soft conditions; in this scenario he's unexposed; considered. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 7yo who struck form at around this time last year, winning 3m handicaps at Doncaster and Wetherby (both on good ground); open to further improvement but this hat-trick attempt comes after a long absence and the different trip-and-ground combination is not sure to suit. |

Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |

Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |

Made it 0-20 under rules when pulled up over fences at Ayr last week; however, before that he posted two fair runs over hurdles (2m5f/2m) and shaped as though he would benefit from this longer trip; well treated on last spring's chase form; could appreciate the return to hurdling; interesting. |

First-time cheekpieces did the trick when she won at Ffos Las in November 2024 and she matched that form when third of 14 here (also about 2m4f, good to soft) last February; inconsistent and generally struggling since and pulled up after a bad mistake when blinkered for chase debut last time; handy mark, however, and the return to hurdles and cheekpieces might help. |

Low-mileage 6yo; below form when when favourite for 1m7f handicap chase in December but evidently well suited by combination of hike up in trip and return to hurdling when close second at Doncaster (3m, good) last month; must be considered. |

6yo who kept on well for close fourth on his handicap and chase debut at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) in November; failed to back that up at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but this 3m point runner-up could be suited by the step up in trip now back hurdling; intriguing contender. |
