28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Often inclined to pull hard, under both codes, which is something to bear in mind as he goes beyond 1m4f for the first time; otherwise, he'll rightly be popular under Billy Loughnane, having won well over hurdles early in the month. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Competitive on the Flat this summer and again on his return to hurdling here 12 days ago when finding one too good (hood returned); due a 1lb rise but this is a step up in grade. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |

11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 36y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has won three of his last four races, all on good/good to firm, from 2m1f to 2m3f; 13lb higher than at the start of his winning run and although beaten by Sir Tivo and In The Air at Stratford in July, has thrived since and should go well again. |

Won his first two starts over fences in May and has advanced his form with two more victories, latest in 2m3f handicap chase at Stratford 19 days ago; up 5lb but he looks the one to beat. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has modest 1-11 strike-rate over hurdles and was well beaten when tried in first-time blinkers eight weeks ago; that said, he's now back on same mark as when winning in pretty good style here (2m1f, good) just under a year ago and will be dangerous if back on song in refitted cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Sedgefield winner in September under Freddie Keighley; that form has some substance but he failed to build on it in a higher grade next time; ran well enough on his return at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in first-time cheekpieces last month and blinkers are now tried, but he remains on a tough mark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Off since below-par run in October but the form of his breakthrough win at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in September worked out quite well; cheekpieces (worn once last summer) are given another whirl; contender if fully tuned up. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won twice on the Flat (1m2f-1m4f) for Ollie Sangster and once over hurdles (2m2f, Kelso) for Rebecca Menzies; beaten 22l and 76l in two starts for new trainer; easing mark isn't enough to recommend. |

10th 11 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won at Kelso last May (2m2f, good) when with Rebecca Menzies; well beaten on stable debut last time and perhaps best watched for now. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

1-8 over hurdles, the win gained off 1lb lower mark at Kelso (2m2f, good) in May; disappointed on both recent Flat starts, though, and arrives here with a point to prove. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Flat win here (1m) two years ago and added a juvenile hurdle to his tally in November 2024; 2025 campaign was a damp squib but there were more promising signs when fourth at Ayr (1m, good to soft) on last month's return to action; failed to back it up over C&D 23 days ago. |

Now 9lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) last August but his form has slumped since and a revival is needed. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made all to score by 13l over C&D (good) in April and has remained in good form since; current mark is workable; ought to give this a good shot. |
6/1 |
|

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to win by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has performed fairly well on all three outings since (2m-2m1f); worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to score by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has also performed well on both subsequent outings (once over C&D); refitted cheekpieces are the headgear of choice today; probably won't be far away. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hampered early last time, but unlikely judged on this year's struggles for both her former and current handlers that this would have cost her significantly better; cheekpieces hurriedly replace the visor. |
25/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Safely held on both recent starts for new stable (2m2f) and now 0-12 over hurdles; faced fairly tough assignment when third of five from out of the weights last time but still needs a boost from the new visor here. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Left Dan Skelton after some below-par efforts this spring/summer and was tailed off on stable debut at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; 12lb out of the weights and has a lot to prove. |

11st 8lb |
Two wins this year, at Newcastle in March (2m4f, good to soft) and over 2m4f here last time (good); yet to prove conclusively that he stays this far (faded late on only previous attempt). |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Won off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle in March (2m4f, good to soft); fair run when fourth stepped up to 3m at Southwell last time; each-way chance. |

4th 9 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, but ran poorly when dropped back to 2m last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on first attempt at 3m under rules. |

Pulled up in all three handicap hurdles, the latest over 2m7f last October; drops back in trip and swaps blinkers for first-time cheekpieces here; 5lb out of the weights; can't be recommended. |

Poor form in two Irish runs and a similar tale for current yard; the ground was heavy on handicap debut four weeks ago but has a lot to prove. |
