Isle Of Sark (G)
[BT]
Won over hurdles at Sedgefield in October for Mickey Bowen. Made hard work of things on first chase start for this yard when third of 7 in handicap chase there (21f) last month and didn't go with much fluency at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago. O…

Defence Witness (G)
[TP]
Best effort as a chaser when landing second success over fences at Catterick in January and finished runner-up at Sedgefield on 2 of his 3 starts since, the latter coming towards the start of April. Won the 21f handicap on this card last y…

Thehairyfella (G)
[P]
Scraped home when opening his account at Downpatrick (3m, good to firm) in July. More like it after a pair of poor runs when second of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (3m, heavy) in October and though he's not the most reliable, the booking o…

Jakana (M)
Increasingly temperamental mare who looked regressive over hurdles last season. Seemingly stopped the slide when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Perth (3m, good) on debut over fences 30 days ago but doesn't strike as likely to build on it.

Kaviar Wood (G)
Maiden pointer produced several good efforts in handicap hurdles over the winter and was in the process of making a successful debut over fences when stumbling and coming down at the last at Hereford in February. Open to improvement if non…

Lights Are Green (G)
Out of sorts since winning at C&D in July 2024 and return to this venue will need to bring about a change of fortunes.

Jet Light (G)
[P]
Runner-up on second of 3 starts in Irish points, but went with very little promise over hurdles. Similarly unpromising start to his chase career after a year off when eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Hexham (3m, good to soft, 28/1) 40 day…

Mistymal (G)
Irish point winner who made a winning chase debut at Hereford (25f, good) in October 2024 but more miss than hit subsequently. Bit to prove returning from 11 months off having undergone a breathing operation.

Halfway House Lad (G)
FAV
[T]
On a winless run for Maurice Barnes but he was right back to form to make a successful debut for this yard in a 13-runner handicap chase at Hexham (3m, good) 21 days ago, travelling and jumping fluently. Should go well again with fitness a…

Croagh Patrick (G)

Scored at Carlisle in December 2024 but off the boil subsequently that season and he's opposable returning for new yard (left Sam England) after more than a year off.

Fast Deal (G)
Poor strike rate (1-65 overall, taking into account the Flat and jumps) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
