2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Winner of a bumper and three novice hurdle races, most recently a Grade 2 here in February 2025; chasing didn't work out but he mostly ran with credit in defeat back over hurdles and three Flat races have been thrown in (1m3f here latest) in which he's shown some ability; it's not clear what his ideal Flat trip is but he's now qualified for a Flat handicap mark and it's a highly attractive one compared to his hurdles figure. |

9st 9lb |
Bagged a bumper and three hurdles, including Grade 2 Dovecote last February; acquitted himself well in two big spring festivals of late; should have a future on the Flat but will likely get a mark after this third start; no headgear. |

10st 13lb |
Tailed off on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month; has had wind surgery since and sports first-time tongue-tie; hard to fancy. |

Irish point winner; failed to offer a great deal over hurdles, including on handicap debut last time after wind surgery; hard to be confident ahead of this chasing debut. |

Made the frame in Irish points; hasn't fared so well in two hurdles attempts and should find handicaps (or chasing) more suitable. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a C&D handicap in April and was runner-up at Southwell last month but he's not easy to predict and was well below form at Stratford last time; that took his chase record to 1-15 and he needs to bounce back again. |
9/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 1-14 over fences but that win came at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April and he was a front-running second behind a major improver at Southwell (2m, good) last time; this is a different test but his hurdles win was over 2m4f and he still looks feasibly treated; interesting contender. |

2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt, but needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run there 12 days ago. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Maiden hurdler who was never that threatening in handicaps but his breeding offers plenty of hope that he'll do better over fences and over this longer distance; tongue-tie added; hard to dismiss. |

Soundly beaten in 2m2f bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle for Shark Hanlon; has modest form claims on debut for new connections. |
