8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Yard firmly back among the winners of late and she opened her account in some style in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Newcastle 15 days ago; always travelling strongly there so big shout despite the drop back in trip and 6lb weights rise. |

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces when second at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) and didn't appear to stay 3m on heavy ground at Ayr; did run well to a point and Brian Hughes rides again. |

11st 2lb |
Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |
7/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |

Only previous win was over 3m but off this mark; stopped the rot when beaten 5l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby and he's effective at this trip. |

7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Made all over hurdles at Catterick in March but pulled up at Hexham next time; bounced back to form returned to the Flat nine days ago, keeping on into fourth over this C&D; each-way chance. |

12st 0lb |
0-6; well held in two handicaps and the writing was on the wall a long way out on his return at Chepstow; what could help is this longer trip with him a half-brother to smart staying chaser Cloth Cap. |
3/1 |
|
7th 1 |
1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Half-brother to high-class stayer Cloth Cap; steadily improving over hurdles and although no match for the winner at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month he still looked green and it was another step forward; interesting claims on handicap debut. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |
7/1 |

4th 10 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |

Out of form last season but seemed to have turned a corner when second off much-reduced mark at Hexham (2m, good) 16 days ago; player if in similar mood again here. |

Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Low-mileage 8yo; bled from the nose when pulled up on chasing debut in December (did go off favourite) but suffered the same fate on his return to hurdling, again on heavy; has shown he can run well off this mark and less testing ground here could suit; tries cheekpieces. |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who showed hints of promise over hurdles and was sent off the 11-4 favourite for last month's handicap and chase debut at Ayr; he bled from the nose and was pulled up but he reverts to hurdling today and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

No win since May 2023 but, following wind surgery, she's not been far away in two of her last three starts; the latest was her fifth of 14 to Gardener over C&D; place chance. |

Won in first-time visor at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but he's taken two backward steps since and was a well-held fifth at Ayr (3m, soft) last time; bit to prove again and he needs to find some extra reserves of stamina. |
