9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran; has won on soft ground, but seems best on good ground; fair second over C&D in October (good) but has been beaten more than 30l on his two subsequent starts. |
12/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Bagged a silver medal on penultimate start but has lacked consistency otherwise this term; the 12yo faces a stiffer task in this competitive field on return from a break. |

11st 2lb |
Fairly treated on the pick of his better efforts and they were not that far away; shaped with renewed purpose when a respectable fifth back over hurdles at Sligo a fortnight ago and a repeat of that performance back over fences would put him firmly in the mix. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Six-time course winner; not the force of old and has become inconsistent but looked in good nick when scoring at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, and last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent in recent years and no longer the force of old but kept on well to score at Wetherby (3m, good) last month, and this six-time course winner is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Back in good nick for his two runs last month, latterly when close third to Wicked Thoughts at Taunton (3m4f, good); still unexposed over marathon trips and still on a workable mark; could have a say. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Dual winning chaser who confirmed his well-being when second of four finishers at Southwell (3m, good) eight days ago; steps up in trip and if that brings about any improvement then he should be in the firing line. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
He can make mistakes and may be better over further, but he won two in a row last autumn (2m7f, good/good to soft) and was back on song when runner-up here (3m, good) three weeks ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since); good third here (3m, good to soft) yesterday; could be in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Completed a double with win at Kelso (3m, good to soft; 11-4) last November; wasn't fluent - has been a theme - but bounced back to form in reapplied cheekpieces when chasing home Inis Oirr over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 2lb higher with James Bowen taking over in the saddle; likely candidate. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Huntingdon maiden hurdle for Olly Murphy back in May 2022, but hasn't raced under rules since the summer of 2024; made all, turning over the odds-on favourite, in a three-runner Ladies Open at Pusk (3m, good) 18 days ago; is 2-3 under Amy Milburn. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-8 under rules; third in a couple of Irish points in October; unseated early on in race won by Scairp Dubh over C&D 17 days ago on stable debut; needs a completion in order to assess. |
16/1 |
|

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Creditable third in an Irish point in October (3m, good to yielding; second has won twice since) but previous rules form only modest; worth a market check on stable debut. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
C&D record of 2-7 includes victory in this race in 2023 off 5lb higher (good); pulled up in last year's renewal, however, and other results last term offer scant optimism on this return from seven months off. |
25/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Has won off higher marks in the past but has regressed in four appearances this year; tried cheekpieces last time; others safer. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-19 over fences and has struggled in her last two starts, both over C&D; being 9lb wrong in the handicap doesn't help. |
50/1 |
|
6th 12 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Point/hurdle winner but 0-18 over fences; good second in a four-runner mares' handicap chase at Catterick in February (3m1f, soft) but pulled up last time. |
