18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Clearcut winner on chase debut (2m4f, good) on final run for Rebecca Menzies and similar sort of form in defeat in two runs for the Skeltons, last time pushing earlier-race contender Newton Rambler all the way back over 2m at Uttoxeter; returning to further looks a plus and this hold-up performer should have this run to suit him. |

2nd 6 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Has taken his form to a new level since switched to fences, winning by wide margin at Hexham (final start for Rebecca Menzies) then creditable second at Worcester, both over 2m4f on good ground; likely to be as effective back down in distance and remains open to further progress in this sphere; respected. |

2nd 2 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back to form and kept on stoutly to win by 17l on chasing debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month, after which he was bought out of Rebecca Menzies' stable for £25,000; makes stable debut from 8lb higher mark but it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 across all disciplines but she's been placed nine times, including when third in both her chases this term (2m, good and soft); often hangs right for pressure but the cheekpieces go on for this return to hurdles and this represents a drop back down in grade; big player. |

3rd 6 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
0-12 under all codes but made pretty good start to chasing career when third in race won by progressive subsequent winner at Leicester (2m, good; also suited by soft) last month and is 2lb lower here; a possible. |
7/1 |

7th 1 |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Yet to win and unproven at the trip but has often run well, including on last season's reappearance and when keeping on for third at Hereford (2m, good) in April when last seen; could have a part to play on her return. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Managed only third when odds-on for modest 2m Huntingdon maiden last month (albeit form was recently boosted by the winner) and is now 0-8 over hurdles; should be fine over today's longer trip but needs to up his game on this handicap debut; tongue-tie added. |

3rd 2 |
19th Feb 2026 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner who is 0-7 over hurdles and hasn't progressed, but he's finished in the first three on five of his seven starts in this sphere (including on soft ground) and holds leading claims in this weak race. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase last November but pulled up in his final chase and has finished last in two subsequent Flat starts; capable hurdler but hardly returns to this discipline at the top of his game. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last November; finished a long way behind Sea Of Kings at Doncaster on his return to the Flat four weeks ago; others appeal more. |

9st 8lb |
Ended his time with Adrian Keatley below par last autumn but a winner over fences at Southwell for his new yard before being pulled up at Market Rasen in December; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |

8th 10 (4) |

Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner; second on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in February and she's been a fair fifth in double-figure fields at Down Royal (2m4f, good) and Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) the next twice; it was a 0-120 last time and she's tackling a 0-100 today; could be involved back down in grade. |

11th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Remains a maiden after 17 starts but just five of those have been over hurdles and she ran well from the front on her handicap debut in this code when second over C&D (soft) in February; fair fifth of 19 at Down Royal (2m4f, good) since when inconvenienced by jumping to the left, and she could play a leading role now back at a left-handed track. |

C&D winner last summer; seemingly back in good form when second of 13 here (1m, good) in April, but disappointed on both outings last month and has become hard to predict. |

19th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Enters calculations on the form of his second in 1m Musselburgh handicap in April but he beat only one over 7f there 12 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

Beaten over 19l when third over C&D last month and now 0-8 over hurdles but ran big race when second over C&D (good) on stable debut in May and has strong claims if judged on that performance. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

0-15 under rules but showed improved form on his stable debut when runner-up over C&D (good) last month, following five months off; should come on from that outing and run well. |

2nd 8 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-6 over hurdles when trained by Maurice Barnes and absent since heavy defeat in 2m4f Newcastle maiden in December; has better chance at the weights on this stable/handicap debut but fitness/stamina taken on trust. |
