12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
He's returned from a break in good heart this year, finishing fourth at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) before getting closer to the target when 3l third at Southwell (3m, good); entitled to respect. |

3rd 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made a sound return to hurdles after four months off when fourth of nine over 2m7f at Market Rasen six weeks ago, fading only from the last under a positive ride; remains unexposed as a stayer in this sphere (quite useful over 2m on the Flat); considered. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Pulled up on consecutive appearances towards end of last season but seemed to run well until tiring on soft ground at Ayr last time; could be better suited by the less-testing conditions here; not ruled out. |
25/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Tailed off (fences) and pulled up (hurdles) on his last two starts; a major turnaround is necessary but he runs off the same mark as when winning this race last year; not ruled out and the betting may be interesting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Below par since last June's Hexham win off 2lb higher (3m, good to soft) until reviving, up to a point, with last month's Ayr Class 2 fourth; has to show that a sharp track is what's wanted, though. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 |
18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Bang there when falling seven out in the Hexham Marathon over fences last month (4m, soft); she's 1lb below her last winning hurdle mark but Hexham seems to bring out the best in her and this inconsistent mare was pulled up in this race 12 months ago; it might be best to look elsewhere. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble with his smooth success over C&D (good; cheekpieces added) three weeks ago; up 6lb but he beat a clear second last time and he's still unexposed at this sort of trip; big player. |
2/1 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Well handicapped on his Uttoxeter win (3m, good) last July but he's 0-9 since and has been out of sorts this year; has something to prove and he was pulled up in only go at this sort of trip; cheekpieces (last used in October) are reapplied. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Short-odds C&D maiden winner (four ran) this time last year; form figures since introduced to handicapping read 243U, still bang there when unseating her rider at the last over C&D recently; good ground plays to strengths; possibilities despite going up 4lb. |
9/2 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won C&D maiden (good) last May and runner-up on handicap debut at Kelso (2m6f, good) in October; below par on her next two runs but one was over 3m and the latest was on heavy going; this trip on drying ground could prove ideal and she's a possible contender. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

Better chaser than hurdler but handicapped accordingly and has placed form in this discipline; however, he has been off since falling over fences in September. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Resurgent 6yo who won twice on good ground in the spring (2m3f/2m) and remains in good form; still on a workable mark but significant rain may scupper his chance today. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

Doubled his hurdle tally over nearly 3m at Hexham this month and that was on the back of good runs in defeat; raised 6lb but has placed form under the returning Rebekah Duffy who claims 7lb. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
C&D winner on stable debut in August and mainly fair form since; closely matched with Wee Alki on their clash over 3m here 17 days ago and the drop back in trip is maybe more in his favour; respected. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish; won over 2m4f here on stable debut in August; mainly fair form since; interesting on first try at this trip (has run well over 2m6f). |
10/1 |
Betting Forcast
9/4 Campaign Trail, 12/1 Billy Boi Blue, 12/1 Pinot Rouge, 7/4 Supreme Yeats, 11/2 Lets Mingle, 20/1 Beny Nahar Road, 16/1 Wee Alki, 12/1 Divilabother
Verdict
Hat-trick seeker Supreme Yeats is an obvious starting point, especially with his stable in excellent form, but he may have to settle for second best here with CAMPAIGN TRAIL still open to further progress and a 6lb rise looking manageable. Lets Mingle and Divilabother also enter calculations. [Tim Mitchell]
