2nd 13 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
10st 8lb |
Looked very limited until springing a 40-1 surprise at Fairyhouse over hurdles (3m2f, yielding) in January, form which has worked out well; fell four out over fences next time but made no mistake in scoring at Limerick 16 days ago, beating Cullenwaine by 0.75l; 5lb rise fine and he should relish this extra distance. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |

Won Fairyhouse handicap hurdle (3m2f, yielding) in January and was in contention over the same trip when falling four out over fences at Down Royal last time; raised 4lb for that. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Winning Irish pointer; yet to score under rules but she is proving reliable and comes here after a good second of 13 in 3m handicap chase at Hexham 22 days ago; very much one to consider off an unchanged mark. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Saw it out well to get off the mark over fences (C&D), beating Out On Her Own by 7l 18 days ago; a 5lb rise looks fair - competitive off similar marks over hurdles - so he'll be a live contender. |
7/2 |

1st 3 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Second in three hurdles in early 2025 but is still 0-10 under rules; pulled up here (3m, good) 17 days ago on second chase start in first-time tongue-tie (retained); the jury is out at present. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

3rd 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has won four chases, including over C&D in May 2024 (good); best recent form has been at Musselburgh and he was below par over C&D last time (good). |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Back on the lowly mark off which he snapped a long losing run in December 2024 at Carlisle (3m2f, soft); remains to be seen what ability remains on this stable debut following 14 months out. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Got back to winning ways at Carlisle (3m2f) in December but well below par both runs since at Uttoxeter and back at Carlisle; this course winner has something to prove. |

10st 5lb |
Won a point in 2023 but unseated mid-race on chase debut a year ago and recently returned from layoff with ordinary run over hurdles (0-7); tongue-tie is now added. |

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

Point winner in May 2023 (2m4f, good); mainly modest form over hurdles and fences; best watched having been off since last May (bled from the nose). |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made fairly encouraging handicap debut when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month but was soundly beaten at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) four weeks ago and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; 2lb out of the weights. |
11/2 |

6th 11 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed much more when fourth of nine finishers up in trip at Stratford (3m2f, good) 13 days ago on his handicap debut following wind surgery; has place claims if he can repeat the dose. |
14/1 |
Betting Forcast
3/1 A Year Older, 7/4 Killybegs Jet Lady, 9/4 Passengerontheship, 10/1 Dr Shirocco, 33/1 Croagh Patrick, 25/1 She Wont Mind, 12/1 The Kings Soldier

Jet Light
Verdict
All three of the form horses are racing off their highest ever marks. Killybegs Jet Lady didn’t look to the manner born even in victory at Kelso last time, whilst Passengerontheship needs to prove able to transfer recent good cheer back to a stayers’ trip. A YEAR OLDER has at least looked a far more assured conveyance win or lose latterly, and gains narrow preference. An improved showing by The King’s Soldier around this stiffer track wouldn’t surprise. [Jeremy Grayson]
