4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Newton Abbot (2m, good to firm) in August and followed up in another small field at Stratford (2m1f, good), again under Chad Bament; in a better race here but progressive and could play another leading role. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
His good progress since coming back in June includes a commanding win at Newton Abbot (about 2m, good to firm) last Thursday; 6lb rise leaves him on a career-high mark but he's been on the up for over a year now and there's no reason to think his climb up the ladder has halted. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 3-11 over fences and two of those wins were gained over C&D (good/good to soft); held in small-field events in last four starts but he was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last time and he could be dangerous back at this track; stablemate of Gore Point. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Course bumper winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but went close over C&D (good) last September and was a good second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; every chance she'll be bang there; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

2nd 3 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual bumper winner who was competitive in last year's first four starts over hurdles, from 2m to 2m5f; absent 298 days and cheekpieces removed when his form dipped slightly at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f) one month ago but he may have needed that run and the headgear is back; a leading contender. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual bumper winner who has been competitive in all four starts over hurdles, from 2m to 2m5f; cheekpieces worn on last two starts are removed; off since October but he's the standard setter. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not beaten far when fifth of eight on stable/hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July but never really looked dangerous there and was soundly beaten when reappearing at Kelso this month. |
33/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Held every chance before falling just after final fence in good-ground Irish point in May 2023 but this rules debut comes after a long absence; probably best watched. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
6yo whose form has been patchy in his light career but he won at 4-1 on his handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in August, which was his second run for Olly Murphy (July's stable debut came after a long absence); unexposed and an 8lb rise may not stop him today. |
3/1 |

1st 7 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-3 over hurdles for three different stables; not beaten far when seventh of eight at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on last month's debut for Olly Murphy and now moves back up in trip for first handicap; improvement possible. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Three 1m4f wins on the Flat for Ed Walker; made a winning debut for Tim Vaughan over hurdles last summer but two subsequent runs (wind op before latest) haven't been so good; not sure what to expect back on the Flat. |
10/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play. |
5/2 |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Useful Flat racer who was creditable second of 14 at Cork (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut for Joseph O'Brien in November; became rather disappointing for that stable afterwards and was sold for 10,000gns in March but makes debut for Tim Vaughan in a modest race. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not beaten far when sixth of eight on rules debut here (2m, good) in July but that race was slowly run and he never looked dangerous. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Unable to land a telling blow when fifth of ten in good-ground maiden point in March; significant improvement is required on rules debut. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts for Georgina Nicholls and absent since 41l defeat in first-time cheekpieces in the autumn; tries new trip and headgear on this stable debut; considered only if lively in the betting. |
14/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in her first two handicaps (2m6f/2m7f) and competes from 3lb out the weights here; needs combination of first-time cheekpieces and switch to slow ground to enable huge improvement. |
14/1 |
|
8th 10 |
14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Glimmers of promise in novices (2m-2m3f) and reportedly resented the fast ground when tailed off on handicap debut (2m6f); only 11-1 for that and could be given another chance. |
