2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
18-race maiden but she was a close fourth on her chase debut over C&D (good) last October when back from a break, then finished second over C&D (soft) in November; there's room for improvement in her jumping and she could have a part to play now back from some more time off. |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Failed to win over hurdles (0-15), albeit going close (third) over 3m2f here in May; shaped okay when fourth (Golden Point 10l behind) on C&D chasing debut 24 days ago; stablemate of Eloi Du Puy and Orkney Blue. |

16-race maiden; fair third in a 3m2f handicap hurdle here in May when last seen out; perhaps best watched on chase debut. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
0-13 since winning over hurdles on debut in France in 2024; runner-up in three chases since fitted with a tongue-tie this year, most recently at Kelso (2m7f, good) three weeks ago, but he is 3lb higher in a stronger race here and needs to find something extra. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
6yo who is 0-12 since winning on his debut in France in 2024; however, he's finished second over fences on two of his last three starts and the way he kept on at stiff Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) last month suggests this step up in distance is worth a go; in the mix if seeing out the trip. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1-22; has dropped markedly in the weights over the past six months (form figures P5UP03); trainer seems to have his string in better form now, and she did rally from a tough position when modest third at Kelso (3m; good, 22-1) latest; no forlorn hope. |

3rd 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner who finished third on her final two outings last season and is well treated on that form; however, she's struggled to get competitive on her seven starts this term and has plenty to prove. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a handicap chase over 3m here in April 2025; fair form over fences last season (third over 3m here in April) and could go well on first hurdles run since February 2025; cheekpieces now tried. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this race in first-time blinkers off a pound lower mark 12 months ago (good to soft); hasn't run quite as well in three starts this season and now tried in a visor; a possible. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Better could have been expected at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month but a case can be made on her earlier form, with a win at Perth (3m, good to soft) last April and an encouraging second on her comeback at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) in February; not written off. |

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. |
7/2 |

2nd 8 |
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. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 |
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. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won in good style at Ayr (3m, soft) in January and he's also effective on good to soft ground; however, this 10yo has been pulled up/soundly beaten on his last two starts and needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |

4th 5 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Beat a subsequent winner when scoring at Ayr two runs back (3m, soft) but pulled up over same C&D last time; needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |

4 |
10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won this 12 months ago (good to soft) and only his third run in the meantime when well on top again here in early January (soft); 6lb rise elevates him to a career-high mark but he should still have every chance. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made the running and returned to form at Ayr (3m, soft) in February, where she was 1l behind in second (clear of the rest) when falling at the final fence; the winner has followed up; could be well treated off a mark just 2lb higher than at Ayr; has shown promise on good to soft ground. |
100/30 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Promising third on her stable and chase debut here (2m4f, soft) in November, when 5lb higher; however, two lesser runs have followed (3m, soft; C&D most recently) and she needs to raise her game. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up on Irish point debut in November 2023 (soft) and made the frame on all five subsequent hurdling starts (2m1f-3m); makes chasing debut after 191-day absence but can be dangerous if fully tuned up. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
He's well handicapped on his 2024 chase form (won here) but his subsequent profile has been mixed and he was soundly beaten when back over fences at Carlisle two months ago; others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Lost his way over fences last season but he kept on for an encouraging fourth of 19 over hurdles at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month and has a handy mark to work with now back chasing, with the step back up in trip a plus. |
