Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Winless since May 2024 and he's not proving easy to catch right this season, a below-par sixth in 2m3f Carlisle handicap hurdle 20 days ago. |

On a near two-year losing spell and isn't certain to confirm last-time placings with Ryebridge, who is less exposed; that said, again has an each-way squeak. |

11st 1lb |
Runner-up in the two handicaps he has completed and could have done with a truer pace when chasing home the market leader over 2m4f here last time; he's highly likely to get one here and he's one to consider. |
9/1 |

2nd 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Patiently ridden and bustled up the winner (Camarrate) at Newcastle (2m4f, good; from 2lb lower) on penultimate start; pulled up over C&D subsequently; still low mileage, so isn't a forlorn hope if bouncing back from that blip. |
12/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Improved form when 16-1 runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good) 12 days ago on second handicap start; needs to back up that latest performance but he's unexposed on good ground and drying conditions would aid his cause. |

Twice a runner-up in bumpers; failed to build on earlier promise in this sphere when pulled up on his handicap debut at Bangor (2m4f) three weeks ago; cheekpieces are retained and he could still do better for good yard. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a point bumper in February 2024 (2m, soft); has shown bits of fair form over hurdles, notably when 11.5l fourth in a Sedgefield novice handicap in March (2m4f, good); others have stronger claims. |
12/1 |

7th 12 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
A point bumper winner in 2024; only poor form shown over hurdles but he posted his best run of the season (in first-time cheekpieces) when fourth of 11 in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 23 days ago; needs to build on it in retained headgear. |
16/1 |
|
4th 8 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Point-to-point bumper winner for whom the forecast good ground could be a positive; however, he's struggled in his first three handicaps and a major turnaround is necessary; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

Didn't run badly when fifth of eight at Kelso (2m5f, good) three weeks ago and continues to slip down the weights but has modest 2-21 strike-rate over hurdles; others appeal more. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Won a Down Royal handicap in March 2025 for Gordon Elliott (2m4f, good); best run for present yard when third at Newcastle in January (2m4f, good to soft) but hasn't fared as well since. |

On a losing sequence but in good form for her current yard until coming in a never-dangerous sixth in 2m4f Musselburgh handicap 22 days ago; she can bounce back off a slipping mark. |

Didn't run badly in a low-grade Flat marathon last month but he ended the last jumps season with two disappointing runs (both 2m4f) and has a bit more to prove than some of these. |
14/1 |

3rd 8 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well beaten over hurdles on his last two starts but hasn't run badly on his last two Flat outings (1m4f/2m, AW) and his trainer has won two of the last six runnings of this race; not discounted. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Scored twice over hurdles (at about 2m4f) in 2024-25 but has failed to fire this term and beat just two in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap hurdle ten days ago; others appeal more. |

11st 13lb |
Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent. |
9/2 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Last win came off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen in June last year (2m4f, good); not at her best last time but has a chance on her previous run when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft). |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Scored at Market Rasen (on good ground) last June and she returned from a seven-month absence with a very good third of nine over C&D 11 days ago; this C&D winner can go very well off an unchanged mark. |

Still to register a victory but he comes here after a good second of eight in 2m Wetherby handicap hurdle 44 days ago; he can make his presence felt again reverted to a longer trip. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Pulled up here (2m3f, soft) last month when more than a possible lack of stamina was amiss; however, prior to that he was placed in his first two handicap hurdles (soft; including C&D); leading player if back on song. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |

4yo who is 0-9 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles but he's been showing promise in this code and kept on for third of 11 in handicap against older horses here (2m, soft) four weeks ago; stays well on the Flat and today's extra distance could be right up his street. |
