2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Landed his second win over fences when prevailing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, after finishing runner-up twice; a 4lb rise is workable and he should be thereabouts. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a novice handicap off 4lb lower at Warwick last March (2m4f, good); two sound runs this time, notably when second to an in-form rival at Wetherby last month (2m3f, soft); contender. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who is lightly raced for his age; progressive in these cheekpieces last season, finishing second at Leicester (2m4f, soft) then first at Warwick (2m4f, good); close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November on sole outing this term; goes well fresh and entitled to respect. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Very modest hurdle form but she went chasing off a career-low mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June and took a healthy step forward, keeping on well against one in a good run of form; back up 2lb; can threaten. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Has shown only modest form over hurdles; makes chase debut and needs to show improvement. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
0-5 over hurdles, and absent since remote third in first-time cheekpieces here (2m, soft; behind Yanka Blue) in December; needs to take a big step forward but pedigree offers significant hope she'll be suited by this first venture beyond 2m4f. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works. |
7/2 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Didn't jump well when pulled up in first-time blinkers at Plumpton last November when last seen; however, he was in good form previously in cheekpieces and they go back on today; could have a big say. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four good runs over fences this season, the most notable a win at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) two starts ago; also suited by this C&D and good ground; leading contender. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won chase debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; from 2lb lower) in April but has posted form figures of PUP since; it's difficult to know what to expect, but he does revert to hurdles at an appropriate level and has run well here (second and third) in the past. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Made a winning start over fences at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in April but has failed to complete twice since; needs to get back on track. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Made a winning start over fences at Sedgefield (2m5f) in April but soon struggling when pulled up in 2m4f handicap chase at Hexham 22 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Returned from break with two below-par runs towards the end of last season and suffered mid-race mishap on latest outing this month but he has slipped to a good mark and can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-16 under rules but has runner-up twice over fences; may be sharper following a reappearance over hurdles at Bangor last month and is now on a career-low mark; not out of this. |
9/2 |

5th 11 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Decline in fortunes over fences last season wasn't arrested by a switch to front-running; brave to name this the day given he's 0-15 now, but new career-low mark is notably 8lb lower than when last trying hurdles. |
9/1 |
