15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Long in the tooth and no longer the force of old but bounced back from two poor chase runs with respectable effort over hurdles at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month and is now 5lb lower than when going close in this race a year ago; could have a say. |
12/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Very capable over fences but pulled up in that discipline on his last two starts following a break of 217 days; he did go close over hurdles at Aintree three runs ago so there's a big effort in him if he can get his act together. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive 9yo who has modest strike-rate in recent years and returned from break with two underwhelming runs in July (2m4f/2m7f); revival needed. |
12/1 |

10th 15 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Regressive 9yo who has modest strike-rate in recent years and made a low-key reappearance this month (2m4f); tries a new trip here; not the percentage call. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins and a number of places to his name over hurdles; only 2l away on the AW 16 days ago when returning from a year off; handicapped to go well. |
13/2 |

4th 6 (4) |
8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Doubled his tally over hurdles when winning at Bangor last April and he was placed there on his next start; disappointing at Aintree when last seen 357 days ago and he's best watched on his return to this sphere. |
16/1 |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 103y Class 4 |

Doubled hurdling tally with clearcut win at Bangor (2m, good) last month and was placed off today's mark there (good to soft) a few days later; Sean Bowen takes the ride today; likely contender again. |

Without a win on the Flat since 2021 and he came in only ninth of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap 23 days ago; others appeal more. |
9/1 |
|
9th 7 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent hurdler who returned to the Flat with respectable fourth (just behind Penelope's Sister) over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower today and might be better suited by the slightly slower ground; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (10) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 3-54 but he's been placed over hurdles in his last two runs and is well handicapped on his best Flat form in 2025; hard to rule out back in this sphere and he has won at this track. |

Largely consistent 5yo who bumped into a very well handicapped rival when clear second at Huntingdon (2m, good) in April; not quite in same form at Aintree the following month and not yet proven over this far but still considered. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 103y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Signed off for Donald McCain with Bangor maiden win (2m, good) in May 2023 but, following a long absence, dropped out very tamely on recent stable/handicap debut there; may yet come good for Fergal O'Brien but seems to have issues with his breathing, and others look much less risky. |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

Irish point winner who was progressing for Donald McCain when the easy odds-on winner of a C&D maiden (good) nearly two years ago; absent since but has undergone wind surgery prior to this first run for Fergal O'Brien who adds a tongue-tie; market should be instructive. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Three-time winner (including over C&D) last spring; failed to beat a rival on his last three outings and has lots to prove after a layoff. |

8th 2 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

7-47 on AW but has struggled for form since finishing third at Newcastle (1m, Class 5; from 12lb higher) last November; failed to beat a rival in each of his last two starts (9.4f/1m4f) so it's difficult to have confidence. |

Tiny-margin victories last season at Hereford (for Stuart Crawford) and Doncaster, but step back up to Class 4 handicap company has appeared beyond him the last twice; seemingly stable second string on bookings. |

Low-mileage 4yo; caused 28-1 surprise at Doncaster (2m, good to soft; flights in home straight omitted) in March, his second hurdling success, but was well beaten last month and is not an easy one to predict. |

Won at 22-1 on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in September on first run since May; disappointing at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October but often runs well after a break and he could be in the mix. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Dual course winner (1m2f; last win October 2024); has beaten just a single rival in his last three appearances (1m2f-12.5f) and, while he has eased 11lb over that period (and is claimer ridden), it's tough to form an argument. |
40/1 |

Won twice for David O'Meara on Newcastle AW (1m2f) in 2024 but 0-12 on turf; out of sorts last year, and has failed to beat a rival in last two appearances, at Newcastle and Redcar; mark is in freefall but plenty to prove. |
