Always Busy (G)
Thorough stayer twice successful in the first half of 2025, latterly taking a 4-runner Southwell handicap in May. Struggled for consistency since and he jumped badly out to his left at Musselburgh last time, but he drops markedly in grade …

Express Surprise (G)
[T]
Winner of 3m soft-ground handicaps at Wetherby and Uttoxeter in December. Continued in good form when fourth of 16 at Windsor (29f, soft) 53 days ago and he holds leading claims faced with a less competitive scenario now.

Court At Slip (G)
[B]
More than 2 years have passed since his last success but he's dropped to a mark he can compete from and arrives on the back of 5 consecutive placed efforts, running creditably when second of 8 in 3m handicap chase (5/1) at Wetherby 14 days…

Streamsforth Lad (G)
[TP]
Placed twice in handicap hurdles in the autumn and though he's yet to complete in 4 starts over fences so far, he looked set to go close when falling 2 out at Stratford on Monday. Turned out quickly and he's interesting if none the worse f…

Raceview Road (G)
Encouragement when fourth of 19 in a handicap hurdle at Ayr in January but failed to build on that when only mid-field back over fences at Carlisle last month. A while since he's threatened to win a chase and others are preferred.

Swallows Song (G)
[BT]
Bumper winner on debut but has looked a weak finisher in 16 winless attempts over hurdles/fences, failing to justify market support after a breathing operation when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Ayr 30 days ago. Finished tired there an…

Ballydangan (G)
Had a productive summer/autumn, winning twice over C&D, but seemingly gone off the boil of late and was well beaten at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago.

Eveque (G)
Veteran capitalised on a reduced mark when springing a surprise over C&D in November but little to shout about in 3 starts since.

Gibberwell (G)
[B]
Hard to catch right but did at least win this race last year. Has ran poorly on 3 of his 4 starts this season and return to Hexham needs to work the oracle.

West Lawn (M)
Both of her hurdles wins came here back in 2022 and though she's a long-standing maiden over fences, she came as close as she ever has done to shedding that tag when second of 4 at Catterick (25f, soft) last month. Out of the weights again.
