29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |
20/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form under both codes last year included a 1m4f course win; quiet return to jumping at Cartmel two weeks ago but that was after a lengthy break and he's on better Flat mark than he is over hurdles. |
4/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ran with some credit on his return from 100 days off when fourth of 11 at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) seven weeks ago, but now 0-27 and is well out of the weights. |
20/1 |

Regressive maiden who did his racing in the winter over further on the AW; not obviously fancied back from a few months off. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner when trained by Tom Tate (1m2f/1m4f) but he's mostly struggled following slow starts since joining this stable; has plenty to prove at present. |
25/1 |
|
12th 4 (5) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins have come here (1m2f-1m4f); yet to recapture his best for this yard and he looked to wonder whether he fancied leaving the stalls on his return from 146-day break at Catterick a fortnight ago. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
All three wins have been on the AW at Newcastle (1m2f/1m4f) and his best efforts on turf have been at Haydock; never dangerous at the former track over 1m2f in March and may need this first outing since. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level. |
8/1 |
|
2 (8) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unraced here; goes particularly well at Pontefract where he just failed to catch Star Start over 1m2f last time; stays this far and should be on the scene. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won back-to-back races at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but he's been generally disappointing since; on dangerous mark on this step back up in trip but needs to turn things around; tongue-tie added. |
9/2 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Won back-to-back at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but has been below par of late; paid the price for doing too much too soon when a weakening fifth to Stellarmasterpiece (1m4f, here; beaten 2l) on penultimate start; easing mark helpful. |
11/2 |
|
6 (6) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Made all when winning in a small field at Musselburgh in April (2m, good) and he followed up in Jersey 19 days later; poor run at Doncaster last month but he bounced back with a solid effort at Catterick last week (1m4f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Three Flat wins during his time with Kevin Ryan, including beating Roland Garros in this race (good; also won on good to soft) off 3lb lower under Henry Callan 12 months ago; has struggled badly over hurdles for Lizzie Quinlan in 2026 so his hopes are pinned on a recent wind operation and a return to the Flat sparking a revival. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fair Flat racer with three middle-distance wins on his CV; yet to show any significant promise after four hurdle starts this year but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and some of that Flat ability may yet transfer to this discipline; watch the betting. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time Flat winner at 1m3f-1m4f but has yet to replicate that form over hurdles, being soundly beaten in both completed starts, on good ground; may do better in time but can only be watched at present. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |

His last two wins were over 2m and back in early 2024; comfortably held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ran well for a long way when third of seven on latest hurdling start, at Doncaster (2m, soft) in February, and will be fine on the faster ground here but recent Flat form has been underwhelming; others appeal more. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won over hurdles off today's mark in 2023 and was placed on the Flat last autumn, but returned from a layoff with a heavy Flat defeat last month and he's tricky to weigh up on this first hurdling start for 603 days; tongue-tie (last used last May) is refitted. |
10/1 |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 175y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ridden last six starts by Poppy Wynne, first past the post at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) last July but disqualified for whip offence; solid sequence continued but there may be a question over his readiness today after a break; market may guide. |

The last three of his ten wins were last May-September (two over 1m4f then one at 1m6f) and he's 6-18 at Catterick, unraced here since two placed efforts in 2020; well beaten at three other tracks this term but he's now back to his last winning mark. |
