10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 2m course winner in early part of last season; has mixed record since and is not yet proven over this far but seemed to have benefited from a wind operation when close third of five here (2m, good) last month. |

3rd 5 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner on good ground in early part of last season; below best on all three starts since returning from a break this spring, with his C&D run three weeks ago particularly disappointing, but he's well handicapped if a recent wind op proves successful. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won twice here last summer and some sign of a return to form when fourth at Warwick last week; this mark isn't a gift but has each-way claims. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Returned from break with two low-key runs this spring but looked back in good nick when third here (2m, good) last month and will be fine over today's longer trip; one to consider. |

3rd 1 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
C&D winner (three ran) last July and beaten a neck over 2m4f here (similar mark) last October; below par in two starts this year, lacking fluency when beaten 36l at Bangor (2m4f, good) latest; a possible on peak form. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Worcester (2m, good) last July and he ended last year with two close calls over 2m4f; well-held fifth on reappearance at Market Rasen last month but he may have needed that run and has claims if he can get back near best. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in two juvenile hurdles for Donald McCain in early part of last season and, following a layoff, belied 33-1 odds when placed on stable/hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June; struggled on soft ground in July but is back on a quicker surface here and could have untapped potential over the new trip. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won over hurdles at Bangor in August 2023; should strip fitter for his first run in 616 days when sixth of eight at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month but may be best watched for now. |

Consistent once sent into handicaps until disappointing on his final outing in September 2023; something was evidently amiss given subsequent absence and trainer can get them fit at home; on a good mark. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Proven winner who had lost his way but got back on track with a near miss at Worcester (2m, good) 20 days ago; just 2lb higher but the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) cast some doubts. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won handicaps at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) and Uttoxeter (2m, good) last autumn but he's been back in the doldrums since; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Won four times over hurdles between July and September last year, but lost his way in that sphere and showed nothing in two starts on the Flat (11.4f, 1m6f) last month; look elsewhere. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Fair hurdles form to win four in a row (2m2f-2m4f) last summer but lost his form in that sphere; debut under Flat rules when 17l sixth of ten in maiden at Goodwood (1m6f, good; 18-1) ten days ago, making most, which is something to build on but his turn on the Flat may not come just yet. |
25/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Completed a four-timer over hurdles when scoring at Worcester (2m4f, good) last September; below his best since (pulled up last time) and has the visor back on instead of cheekpieces for this first start on the Flat. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had wind surgery prior to posting one of her better efforts last time (2m4f) but isn't guaranteed to build on it, being an inconsistent maiden; again out of the weights. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled last May-August in her first four handicaps and 8lb wrong at the weights today; a transformation is needed following wind surgery. |
