19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful mare who has Listed form but was never going well en route to a modest third at Ascot (2m5f) when back from a layoff last time; will need to travel better in this competitive affair. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive last spring, including 3m/3m2f wins, and good second in Kempton Listed race (2m5f) in November; nearly always races on officially good ground nowadays, so good to soft may excuse a heavy defeat in December when last seen; needs to resume her progress, though, given the career-high mark. |

31st May 2025 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from wind op with small-field 3m win in March and bettered that form when close second on both outings last month (2m4f/2m7f, also on good ground); major player if this new trip suits. |

31st May 2025 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Largely consistent 9yo who makes a quick reappearance after finishing well to take close fourth from a long way off the pace at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft) on Monday; may not be ideally suited by the faster ground here. |

Ended a long losing run at Ffos Las (3m) in January and not disgraced when sixth of 17 in 2m7f Uttoxeter handicap last time; possibilities eased 1lb. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins last season, the first a four-runner Huntingdon handicap in May (3m1f, good), the second a six-runner handicap at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; far from disgraced in a competitive race at Aintree last time and not without a chance despite career-high mark. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Ridden last ten starts by William Maggs; seventh hurdle win when seeing off five rivals at Newbury (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago but even a 2lb nudge seems likely to stop him in this much more competitive scenario. |
25/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ridden last nine starts by William Maggs; rarely seen on soft ground; six-time winner, most recently last May; good placed efforts at about 3m four times in a row in October-December, before he failed to show in a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh (10-1) nearly seven weeks ago; best form this term was over C&D, so he's not entirely ruled out. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at Warwick in January last time but was in pretty good heart towards the end of last year and he's now 1lb lower than when winning at Haydock (3m, good) last March; also handles soft; capable of going well. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Haydock win over a similar trip last March; does have a lot of weight though and was only fifth at Haydock last time, finishing just behind Gwennie May Star. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |

Not well handicapped but arrives here after a 3l second of eight at Uttoxeter when tried in cheekpieces (2m7f, good); no reason why he won't be involved once more. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice at Doncaster (3m, good/good to soft) during 2023-24 season but returned from long layoff with two disappointing runs this term, the latter in C&D race won by Saint Bibiana last month; others have much less to prove. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
In excellent form with varied headgear for most of the 2023-2024 season, but then had a long absence and he was tailed off on return four weeks ago; needs to be at his peak and some headgear (absent last time) returns. |

31st May 2025 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
In excellent form when last in action in January 2024, making all to win readily by over 7l at Doncaster (3m, good), but returns from long absence on a 7lb higher mark and with usual headgear missing. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Grand servant to the yard with 11 hurdles wins; did what he's been doing for years by bouncing back to exploit a falling mark on his favoured testing ground at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January; most tenacious and impossible to dismiss off 3lb higher. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now and not the force of old but was nudged up only 1lb for last month's clear second in refitted cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) and ought to be better suited by this slower ground. |
