11st 8lb |
Won when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in December on third handicap start and bounced back from Market Rasen fifth to score at Bangor (2m7f, heavy) in February; up another 6lb but he was strong at the finish last time and he should have more to offer at staying trips; key player. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won chase debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; from 2lb lower) in April but has posted form figures of PUP since; it's difficult to know what to expect, but he does revert to hurdles at an appropriate level and has run well here (second and third) in the past. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |

Dual C&D hurdle winner, including last month, and not disgraced at Cartmel 17 days ago off this mark; return here is a plus, but he is still to win off a mark this high. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

Doubled his hurdle tally over nearly 3m at Hexham this month and that was on the back of good runs in defeat; raised 6lb but has placed form under the returning Rebekah Duffy who claims 7lb. |

Eight-time winner here (Flat and jumps) who has been running respectably over further at this venue since November; drop back in trip asks a question but he's impossible to rule out. |
7/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prolific winner who arrives seeking a hat-trick, after winning over C&D (soft) and 1m6f (good) here this month; back up a total of 7lb so this looks a tougher assignment but still has pretty strong claims. |

11st 12lb |
Placed on last two starts, though was some 23l and 11l behind the winners (tried a visor last time); still needs a second look with him back in some sort of form and he goes well in the mud. |

2-14 over hurdles; suited by this C&D but absent since a below-par run in April and others in this line-up have much more potential. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won this race last term and better form this spring, all on good ground; dead-heated for first at Kelso (2m5f) last time, which has pushed him up 3lb to his highest mark since 2024 but he looks much more likely than most of these to give his running; should be thereabouts. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

C&D winner off 3lb lower last June (good); clear of the remainder when 3.5l third in a decent race at Kelso last time (2m5f, good; winner went on to win 2m Scottish Champion Hurdle); has won on soft; interesting contender. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |

Course winner who scored easily at Ayr (2m5f, soft) last January and is now 1lb lower; however, she's been unable to match that level of form in the meantime and needs to raise her game this afternoon. |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
5-45; wide-margin winner at Ayr (2m5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in January; moderate since, pulling up at Perth (2m4f, soft) on recent return from four-month break; easing mark but with clear risks attached. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Wide-margin winner in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but yet to build on that success; just a respectable third of five on latest outing at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) in June; others preferred. |

Scored over hurdles here back in 2023 but he remains winless over fences and was tongue tied when pulled up over C&D in January; needs a subsequent wind operation to spark major improvement. |

10st 8lb |
Second veteran runner for northern yard; winner over 3m1f here but that was in 2020; lightly raced and poor form in recent years; they say Darragh O'Keeffe is game enough to ride anything, and here's the proof. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Veteran who has been lightly raced and out of form in recent years; returned from latest layoff with low-key hurdle run in April; considered only if lively in the betting before this return to chasing. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Six wins split between hurdling and chasing but last success was in 2020 and this veteran was out of sorts in only two runs last year; has lots to prove back over hurdles after 304 days off. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had a charmed spell for new yard earlier, five wins including one over C&D (good; also acts on soft); has run up to form only once in his last four starts though, following a revival at Fakenham last month with a tailed-off run at Windsor, and is still 6lb higher than the latest win. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four class 5 wins shared between hurdles and fences since joining James Owen, hacking up in a Newton Abbot chase latest (3m2f, good to soft); a fifth race in 25 days, a step back up in class and most significantly an additional 20lb hike all ask different questions this time. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Revitalised 8yo who started off for James Owen with two hurdle wins in refitted visor this month (2m5f/2m4f) and barely came off the bridle when scoring by 12l over fences at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on Tuesday; has further to go here but has good chance to extend winning spree under 7lb penalty. |
