15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
2-19 over hurdles; still 7lb above his last winning mark; tends to race freely and his chance would be enhanced if the race is run at a strong pace. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two of his first three starts (good to firm and good) this time last year for new yard, including over C&D; not obviously ahead of his mark since but it was a fair effort back here (hood discarded) 16 days ago and he's unlikely to be far away. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did well for Tom Lacey in early part of last season, winning three times over hurdles, and reappeared with fairly encouraging chase debut in May; failed to build on that when well-held fourth over C&D last month but still enters calculations in this lower grade. |
7/1 |

4th 7 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Much improved for Tom Lacey last season when a three-time 2m hurdles winner; off six months and made a promising start in this sphere with third of five in 2m1f handicap at Stratford 32 days ago, running on late under a patient ride; one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) in July; 5lb higher in a stronger ace here but arguably posted her career-best Flat performance when winning at Brighton a fortnight ago and is evidently in good nick. |
4/1 |

11 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won here (11.6f, firm) in May and over hurdles in July; runner-up on last two appearances, losing out only by a head over C&D (good) 11 days ago, but moves up from 0-55 grade today and might be vulnerable. |

Yet to hit top gear after three runs this year (suffered heavy fall on penultimate outings) but won twice at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer and is back on a good mark now; could have a say. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Fair third from out of the weights in a C&D handicap (good to firm) 12 days ago; 2lb lower today but this looks tougher than last time and she's now 0-22 over hurdles. |
14/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-21 over hurdles; safely held when sixth at Worcester (2m, good) ten days ago and effectively 4lb higher from further out of the weights here. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Four-time Flat winner who scored over hurdles last month; down to a career-low mark and there's a good chance he can make his fitness tell. |
9/2 |
|
4th 6 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Four-time Flat winner who came good over hurdles at the 12th attempt, with ready success here (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; carries 7lb penalty today but is due to go up by that amount anyway, and this drop back in trip won't be a problem. |
11/2 |

1st 3 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham and four-time winner on the Flat for current stable; has been placed five times in this sphere; steps up in trip off his lowest mark over hurdles but others make greater appeal. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won this race off 2lb lower a year ago (good to soft) and arguably showed career-best form when second at Worcester (2m, good) in June, after a layoff; two lesser efforts have followed but it won't be a surprise if he runs a big race. |
4/1 |
|
9th 3 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
A dual hurdles winner (including over C&D) last season; shaped well on his return when runner-up over C&D in June but failed to beat a rival back here last time; the sort to bounce back though. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Two of his five wins over hurdles have been over C&D; has a decent record fresh and made a solid return when runner-up over C&D (good) last month; 5lb higher than his last winning mark though and a career-best is required. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Off the mark on 35th start under rules when scoring over C&D (good) in July off 2lb lower; fourth of 13 to Uncle Remus here on latest outing and she's pretty consistent, even if the now 1-38 strike-rate is offputting. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Got off the mark on her 35th start under rules when scoring over C&D (good) in July off 3lb lower; is generally consistent but her win record suggests she is unlikely to go in again. |
18/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up twice at Stratford before finally making her breakthrough at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, her 27th start over hurdles; well beaten back at Stratford since, though, and probably won't be favoured by rain here; others preferred. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Progressive type who made it three wins in his last four starts in 2m handicap at Huntingdon 18 days ago; up another 9lb but he scored readily there so is not taken lightly. |

19th Feb 2026 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Went up 10lb for winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft; completing a double) but was still competitive at Wincanton (soft) where he had a subsequent winner just behind him; nudged up another 1lb but has the least to prove of these. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by new cheekpieces when placed twice at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in the autumn; has claims if judged on those efforts but finished tired on soft ground last month and is now 0-11 over hurdles. |
6/1 |

2nd 5 |
23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden who is struggling to gain a foothold in handicaps and these aids when worn separately have offered little previously. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Unplaced all six hurdle starts for Micky Hammond last season and tailed off for new stable at Stratford (2m, good to firm; tongue-tie added) last month; needs this much longer trip to show her in a much better light. |

10st 2lb |
Pulled-up 100-1 shot when making handicap debut for Tom Gretton at Stratford (2m good to firm) in August and effectively on same mark for stable debut; moves up in trip; considered only if much stronger in betting this time. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Showed no significant promise in his three qualifying races (all 2m, good; latest in May) and is 3lb wrong for this handicap debut; considered only if lively in the betting. |

10th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Tailed off in good-ground novice hurdles at Hereford and Ludlow; the new tongue-tie will need to make a huge difference. |
