9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 13lb |
Dual-purpose 7yo who won C&D handicap hurdle last summer off 92; absent since November so may need this, but jockey/trainer going well and any market strength worth noting. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 10 |
2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Dual-purpose; won off 5lb lower at Downpatrick in June (2m2f, yld-sft) and followed up on the Flat at Newcastle 13 days later; below par in three runs on the level since; career best needed off current mark on return to this sphere. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Went close in April and won at Doncaster (1m4f, good) in June next time; her two runs since (Newbury) have not been great, though. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (9) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two turf wins, which came last June and at Doncaster (1m4f, good) almost exactly one year later on penultimate start; two seconds earlier this year but she needs to bounce back from a poor show here (1m3f; co-favourite) six weeks ago. |
6/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
24th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Bounced back to winning form when successful under Fred Daly at Doncaster (1m4f, good) 18 days ago, winning with a great deal more in hand than the margin would suggest; 5lb rise may prove lenient. |

8st 12lb |
Dual AW winner in France (1m/9.5f); beaten 12l when second of five at Catterick (2m, good to firm) last month and he's struggled in both starts since; this drop back in trip may help but others are preferred. |
16/1 |

8th 6 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Dual AW winner in France (1m/9.5f); beaten 13l when second of five over this C&D (good to firm) last month and was well beaten at Newcastle (2m, AW) four days ago; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Dual winner on the AW in France (1m, 9.5f); mainly disappointing for new yard, although fair third of five in first-time visor at Beverley two runs ago (1m4f, good to firm); on a fair mark, but beaten more than 8l on two tries at this trip. |

Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March; mainly in good form subsequently but not at his best when sixth of seven in 1m6f handicap here last month; the sort to bounce back. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Set plenty to do in a muddling race for amateurs when third at 8-15 at Catterick on latest Flat start (1m4f, good to firm); bit below-par over hurdles last time; first try at 1m6f. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Was attempting this far for the first time on the Flat when third of eight at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) at the start of the month, but only fourth of seven back there (1m4f) six days ago; worth another go at the trip and holds each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Cattrick (1m4f, good) in April off a mark 3lb lower than today's and he caught the eye finishing strongly into third here over 2m a week ago; the drop back in trip doesn't look an obvious plus on that evidence but has to be respected. |

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. |

Productive on Flat and over hurdles since early last summer; creditable second, one place in front of L'Eagle Aid who admittedly came from a poorer position, over C&D most recently; major contender. |

2nd 6 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Went up 29lb for his four wins last season; wasn't at his best on first Flat run this year when last of five at Ripon (had been running well over hurdles); bit to prove. |
9/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |

Notched four Flat wins last year, including over 1m3f here on good; returned from a break to win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month; only a fair fourth at Aintree since but still respected back on the Flat. |

Record of 0-4 this term for new yard but was placed under Shay Halton at Ripon on penultimate start and latest race didn't pan out favourably; has slipped to an attractive mark. |
10/1 |

8 (13) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark but that was from August 2023; third at Ripon ten days ago was his best result this term but he needs much better than that form if he's to turn the tables on Spartan Times. |
16/1 |

1 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |

Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark, but his abbreviated career since the start of last year (including two starts for this yard) suggests he hasn't been easy to train; needs the switch to a visor to help him get back on track. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |

Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who picked up the latest of his eight wins when scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good) last May; hasn't threatened in three starts this year, latterly in cheekpieces, and his powers of destruction may finally be on the wane; blinkers back on for the first time in over four years. |

Veteran who has picked up a race or two up to 1m2f in most seasons but has had just two runs this term, well beaten; won off 1lb higher last May; now tries cheekpieces (first headgear since 2021) and he's only once been over this sort of trip (2019). |

Won slow-ground hurdle in France in February but unraced over jumps since pulled up in Listed handicap later that month and, barring one close second in a low-grade handicap, this year's Flat form is rather uninspiring. |

Well held after racing too freely at Haydock (11.6f) recently and now 0-20 but ran quite well when fourth under Lauren Frost on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), and his jockey (three wins from 35 rides under rules) is by far the most experienced in this race. |
