5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
11yo who is 1-16 over hurdles as opposed to 9-36 over fences but has a lower mark in this sphere and ran respectably when 12l second of six back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to firm) latest; not discounted. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Better chaser than hurdler and forgiven latest heavy defeat in a strong handicap; his last hurdle run was four starts back when beaten a neck at Wincanton (2m5f, good); could run well, though some stamina reservations over quite this far. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
This front-runner didn't have it all his own way in a qualifier for this last month and, off this career-high mark, he inherited second place (beaten 8l by the winner); could be vulnerable again, though should run well provided he takes to the new visor (replacing cheekpieces). |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner who was granted an easy lead last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) and made no mistake by 3l; hard to grumble with the 3lb rise and if getting into a rhythm he should put up another bold show. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven chase wins, four under Gavin Sheehan; didn't get to the front at Southwell (2m, good) last month and never threatened the winner but shaped as though still in form; remains 7lb higher than for his latest win but could prove hard to catch if allowed an easy lead. |

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 |
|
4th 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. |
5/2 |
|
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 May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; ran big race from the front when close fourth over C&D (good) on stable debut in October but was beaten when falling on next outing and was pulled up when last in action; needs to have been refreshed by 139-day break. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite a year since he won off a 20lb higher mark at Perth (3m, good); insufficient encouragement on last two stasrts, even allowing for the inadequacy of the trip, and hopes rest with the return of the cheekpieces worn for last four wins. |
8/1 |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Well handicapped on his two chase wins this spring but he returned after a break with a laboured effort back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last month; has bit to prove again after that and his last hurdle win was two years ago. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Largely consistent 10yo who won three 2m4f chases last season; reverts to hurdling on a lower mark but has fitness to prove after 115-day absence and his usual cheekpieces are missing. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C&D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled when a big-priced outsider at Southwell (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and is now 0-18 over fences; 12lb wrong here; can't be recommended. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

0-17 over fences and winless in well over four years; well beaten again from out of the weights last week and a similar fate likely awaits. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice over hurdles in spring 2021 but has been in the doldrums for a long time; 8lb out of the weights today and very difficult to enthuse over. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

2m5f good-ground winner last summer off 6lb higher; hardly consistent though and never went a yard at Warwick last month; now tries cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

5th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Scored at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last June and was in contention before penultimate-fence fall at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in December but last season's record was rather mixed and we haven't seen him since a poor performance in January. |
