Lester Mail
LESTER MAIL wasn't able to justify support when a never-nearer fourth on handicap debut here last time, but with this longer trip promising to suit he could still have more to offer given his bumper form. He is preferred ahead of Joto, whose third at Catterick on penultimate start has been boosted since, with William Yeats also one to note.

Back on track at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and built on that effort when finally opening account in 15-runner handicap at Newcastle in March. Back up 7 lb in the weights but could be in the mix again in his current form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/15Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood to SoftHurdle4/8Sedgefield2m 5f 34ySoftHurdle4/6Sedgefield2m 3f 188ySoftHurdle2/10Newcastle2m 190yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle7/11- 4Livano BelloJ: Joshua ThompsonT: Micky Hammond223532-Age 57/210/33/1

Remains a maiden but soon left behind a lesser effort when third of 5 at Market Rasen in March. Again ran well when second to an unexposed rival at Fakenham a month ago and he can give another good account.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFakenham2m 4f 1yGoodHurdle2/7Market Rasen2m 2f 140yGood to SoftHurdle3/5Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/6Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood to SoftHurdle3/8Sedgefield2m 5f 34ySoftHurdle2/6- 1Abbey ScopeJ: Danny McMenaminT: Nicky Richards/3572P-Age 64/14/17/2

Successful at this course only start in bumpers and got back to something like his hurdling debut form when runner-up on handicap bow at Catterick in January, despite again making mistakes. Pulled up at Musselburgh last time, though drops back in grade here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 3f 171yGood to SoftHurdlepu/10Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle2/7Ayr2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/13Musselburgh2m 3f 171yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/6Market Rasen2m 125yGood to SoftHurdle3/8- 5Lester MailJ: Bruce LynnT: N.

Fair bumper winner who was prominent in the betting on handicap hurdle debut but shaped as if needing emphasis more on stamina when fourth of 9 at this course (2¼m) 16 days ago. Yard knows this family well, so he's interesting upped further in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 2f 25yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/9Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/11Kelso2m 51yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/11Kelso2m 51yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle11/14Kelso2m 51yGoodBumper1/5- 11JotoJ: Alice StevensT: John Dawson/8333U-Age 67/17/115/2

Remains a maiden but produced best effort in handicap hurdles when third of 6 at Catterick in February, the winner and second both scoring next time. Unseated early at Newcastle last time, so she's worth another chance to build on her Catterick performance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdleur/9Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/6Doncaster2m 3f 88ySoftHurdle3/11Newcastle2m 190yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/8Sedgefield2m 178ySoftHurdle8/10- 8Larkfield LusiveJ: Peter KavanaghT: L J Morgan2/1176-Age 715/215/27/1

Belatedly off the mark at Perth (2½m) in May last year and followed up at Market Rasen (23f) the following month. However, not quite in the same form both subsequent outings, sixth of 11 back at Perth (3m) when last seen in August.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPerth2m 7f 207yGoodHurdle6/11Cartmel2m 6f 31ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle7/9Market Rasen2m 7f 16yGoodHurdle1/7Perth2m 4f 35yGoodHurdle1/8Hexham2m 4f 28yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/12- 3Disco AnnieJ: Nathan MoscropT: Rebecca Menzies536530-Age 89/110/111/1

Bred for chasing but failed to progress over fences in 2025/26. Fitted with cheekpieces, ran well back over hurdles when third at Carlisle (17f) in March, though was reported to be in season when well held last time. Has had breathing operation ahead of return to chasing.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 1f 87yGood to SoftHurdle14/14Carlisle2m 1fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/9Market Rasen2m 1f 43ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/9Aintree2m 4fGood to SoftHurdle6/7Ludlow1m 7f 212yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase3/6- 7Cher TaraJ: Callum BewleyT: Daragh Bourke573368-Age 716/116/118/1

Formerly with Dan Skelton/Gordon Elliott but signs of promise in pair of third-place finishes for current yard in January/February.

Fair winning hurdler for Joseph O'Brien who offered more than previously for current yard when fifth in 10-runner handicap at Wetherby on Boxing Day. However, after 4 months off he ran poorly at Market Rasen 22 days ago.

Point winner but only poor form in varied events over hurdles.

Sedgefield bumper winner at the second attempt when trained by Rebecca Menzies. Yet to match that form over hurdles, fitted with tongue strap when third of 5 back at Sedgefield (17f) on handicap/stable debut last month. Could yet do better, especially if market vibes are strong.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSedgefield2m 178yGoodHurdle3/5Wetherby2mSoftHurdle3/12Kelso2m 51yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/10Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/9Sedgefield2m 178ySoftBumper1/5
