13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Wore a hood for his last two runs in Ireland and was going away at the finish in a 2m3f maiden at Limerick over Christmas (soft to heavy); looks promising. |
7/1 |

Jukebox Jury gelding cost 11,000euros as a 3yo; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Wade Out (bumper & hurdle) and Whatsupwithyou (2m4f-2m6f); dam 2m6f hurdle winner, half-sister to smart stayer Dedigout; yard 0-7 in bumpers last five seasons; likely best watched. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't kicked on from the maiden win at Kelso (2m, good to soft) but this is his handicap debut over a longer trip and he did beat the useful Swindon Village in an Irish point; tries a tongue-tie after wind surgery. |
5/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Point scorer who posted a fairly useful effort when getting off the mark in this sphere at Kelso (2m) in December; failed to kick on when a well-held third of 11 in 2m novice there last month but he's worth another chance for yard with an excellent record in this. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 3 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner (2m4f, soft to heavy) who was a well-beaten second to subsequent Grade 1 winner Idaho Sun on hurdle debut at Bangor (2m, soft) in November before winning a maiden over this C&D (good to soft) in December; open to further improvement and he could have a big part to play. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Third (bang there) and fourth in two good-ground bumpers here last summer; beat only one home in 2m Chepstow novice a month ago but the tongue-strap returns together with a new hood; should run better, but others are more convincing. |
20/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair form when in the frame in a pair of bumpers at Bangor last summer but he beat only one home on his hurdling debut in 2m Chepstow novice 22 days ago when going without his usual tongue strap (refitted here); no surprise to see him bounce back. |
25/1 |

13th 3 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Out of a useful and well-connected bumper/hurdle winner; close third in good-ground Bangor bumper last June but that form has not worked out well, and he managed only fourth of six in a similar event soon afterwards. |

Giantsgrave
Verdict
Giantsgrave is a notable absentee as he looked one of the main players. THEY WANT ME has shown plenty of promise on his first two hurdle starts and earns the vote for Donald McCain, who has won three of the last six runnings of this race. Hereford winner Four Springs is second choice.[Ben Hutton]
