24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won by 5l at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) but after a bold ride she was comfortably reeled in on her return visit; probably able off this mark if this race pans out more effectively. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |

Reliable sort who capitalised on a slipping mark when getting off the mark over C&D 22 days ago; back up 6lb but she can go well again. |

0-8 over fences but made the frame three consecutive times towards end of last year, perhaps most notably when third of ten at Lingfield (2m6f, good) on second occasion; contender if suited by this new trip. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won maiden hunter chase at Hexham (3m, good) last May; some good runs in defeat in handicaps since November, most recently 5l second at Sedgefield (3m2f, good), but he has plenty to find today. |

Good-ground hunter chase winner; returned from break with two good handicap runs in November (both 3m, soft) but his next two runs were disappointing and he arrives here with a point to prove. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Won over hurdles prior to his successful chase debut over C&D (soft) and when a 6l third off this mark at Sedgefield his jumping could have been better; needs considering. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Just did enough to win over hurdles at Taunton (3m, good; refitted cheekpieces) in December and bettered that form when scoring by over 6l on chasing debut at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) the following month; still unexposed over staying trips and over fences; respected. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |
10st 0lb |
Bounced back to form when adding a fourth chase win at Punchestown in June (3m1f, good to yielding); another good run at Cartmel last time when beaten a neck; reverts to hurdles now off a much lower mark, but hasn't been able to take advantage of it in the past; 2lb wrong. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
None too consistent but he was back over fences at Punchestown 20 days ago (3m1f, good to yielding) and ran on well to prevail in a big field; that was his fourth success as a chaser and big shout if he can hold his form. |
4/1 |

1st 9 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
10st 13lb |
Three-time chase winner, twice over this distance at Ayr on soft; pulled up on last chase run at Down Royal and below-par hurdles at Sligo 25 days ago; put two decent runs back-to-back prior to Down Royal effort and chance if bouncing back; enjoys soft ground. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Perhaps in the grip of the assessor since the last of his four wins this term; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim may offer some help but this assignment looks difficult. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made very good progress in second half of last year, with the last two of his four wins gained over C&D (soft; also suited by good); returned from ten-week break with very respectable effort in 0-130 grade at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and might still be on the upgrade. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Two wins last season included this race but he hasn't been in such good form this year; an 11yo now. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |
14/1 |

6th 5 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |
