2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in January on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft) and bounced back from a lesser run when second here (2m5f, good to soft) 12 days ago in a first-time tongue-tie (retained); won a 3m point in 2024 and there's every chance he'll stay this far under rules; high on the list. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won in January on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft), shaping each time as though he had more left in the tank; soundly beaten at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) since but that maybe shouldn't be taken as a sign that his current mark is beyond him; cheekpieces go on. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Progressed well over hurdles; didn't appear to be doing a lot in front when just holding on to make it 2-2 over fences at Catterick (2m3f, soft; second run in cheekpieces); has another 6lb to contend with but very much heading the right way. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually goes well over C&D - form figures 212 - that win gained from a 2lb higher mark (favourite) over a year ago; recent Wetherby efforts were not so good but there was plenty to admire about the manner in which he rallied behind Always A Reason over C&D (good to soft) in January. |
15/8 |

5th 7 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner who was runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and filled same position at Doncaster (2m4f, soft) last month; disappointing over C&D last time but no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
13/2 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Two wins last season (including C&D) and he's run well to finish second on both outings this year (2m4f, good to soft/soft), most recently at Doncaster three weeks ago; solid contender. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; however, he's won twice this season (2m4f/2m5f, soft), the latest two starts ago; won on good ground last term and there can be hope that he's still okay at this sort of trip; in the mix if swiftly bouncing back. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Consistent 7yo and the horse he beat at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft; won on good) arrived there at the top of his game; may appreciate further these days but enters the equation; raised only 3lb. |

Ex-Greenall/Guerriero; 2m4f winner at Ayr in November (soft) and two fair runs since; back on a decent mark; could go well. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent 10yo who was pulled up at Newcastle 19 days ago; however, he won here (2m4f, good) last April on the back of being pulled up twice in a row, so it will be no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't always been consistent but won twice last season, including over 2m4f here (good to soft); made a winning reappearance at Wetherby in December (2m3f, soft) and creditable staying-on fourth over 2m4f here last time; quite interesting back up in trip. |
7/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

Not always one to rely upon but ended last season with 6l win at Kelso (2m4f, good) and rewarded persistent Patrick Wadge ride on reappearance outing at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in December; can feature if change of headgear helps to motivate him here. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame on first two starts this season (3m2f/3m1f) and ran better than eventual 27l defeat might suggest when fifth at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; big player if combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear has desired effect. |

Ran well stepped back up to 2m4f last time when bidding for an Ayr double; remains a consistent sort and again looks likely to give his running; each-way possibilities. |

2nd 6 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up over C&D in November and made it 2-8 over fences when winning in good style here (2m, soft) last month; this progressive 7yo may well take a 6lb rise in his stride. |

Took well to fences last season, winning at Hexham (1m7f, soft), and reappeared with solid second here (2m4f, soft) in November; in front rank when unseating in back straight at Newcastle last time; on the shortlist. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced and generally disappointing since spring 2024, having been in a few different yards, but shaped quite well on debut for latest new trainer, in recent 2m1f hurdle, and reverts to chasing on tempting mark. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
A fair winning chaser (at up to 2m3f) for Stuart Coltherd but he came in last of 17 back hurdling at Doncaster (3m) on his final run for Rebecca Menzies in January; he starts out for another new yard now with plenty to prove. |

Ended a run of rather disappointing efforts when scoring at Hexham last month (2m4f, good) and better than he showed last time as his saddle slipped on home turn; interesting. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Took advantage of his reduced mark and some better ground to win off 3lb lower mark over 2m4f here last time (good); may fare even better up to this trip (3m Irish point winner). |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Very hard to fancy on what he's shown over fences/hurdles since last October; however, he's tumbled down the weights and the two best RPRs in his career have been achieved at Hexham, so no surprise to see a good run. |

Seeking a hat-trick after wins over C&D (soft) and at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft); up another 5lb for latest success but drying ground not ideal. |

Reportedly jumped better than on his previous start (here) when returning to form to win at Sedgefield last time (3m2f, soft); has a chance on that, but isn't particularly consistent. |
