29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Placed off 4lb higher in competitive handicap hurdle here (2m1f, good) in June, but weakened into fifth on chasing debut at Hexham in June and was pulled up in C&D race won by well-backed stablemate Passing Diamond last month; could still have a future over fences but has a point to prove. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Slightly disappointing when weakening fifth on last month's chasing debut at Hexham but now 2lb lower than when close third over hurdles here in May and will be dangerous if able to transfer that form to fences. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Best effort this season when second, behind a rival who was completing a hurdles four-timer, over C&D (good) on penultimate start; reasonably interesting on that form and remains favourably treated, being 3lb below last winning mark. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A three-time 2m hurdles winner last season; back on song when second of three in 2m1f handicap at Sedgefield 22 days ago; not out of things off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 3 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

3lb below last winning mark in October; only real effort of note in five runs after a wind operation was when second on the Flat in June; likely to go from the front. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Irish challenger whose sole success came in a Limerick maiden on his hurdles debut in May 2024; placed five times last term and returns to this discipline after a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences this month; win record is offputting. |
8/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Sole success came in a Limerick maiden hurdle in May 2024; placed several times since and made a promising debut over fences when fourth of 12 at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) 16 days ago; should win races but up against a serious rival here. |
9/4 |

4th 2 |
7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Sole win came in 2m Limerick maiden hurdle two years ago; consistent placed form in handicap hurdles last year, well below best last month at Plumpton; straight into handicap company for chase debut and inexperience a concern. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
2-6 in cheekpieces for new stable since the summer, having won at Musselburgh (2m, good) and over hurdles; fourth in good-quality handicap hurdle last month and this return to Tapeta won't be a problem; ought to make his presence felt. |
9/1 |

4th 11 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Ex-Jedd O'Keeffe; campaigned on the Flat (3218) by this trainer until returning to hurdles with a bang in Class 4 at Perth (2m, good; won by just over 2l, 15-2); 6lb higher in a more competitive contest but, as the Morebattle Hurdle has shown, this trainer isn't fazed by aiming high. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Disappointed on the Flat a fortnight ago but had been in good form in that sphere for new stable beforehand, most notably when winning over 2m two starts ago; reverts to hurdling on a good mark; high on the list. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Still up to winning races, having found only one rival too good at Fakenham (2m) on his penultimate start; others are preferred, though. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran who may still be up to winning races, having found only one rival too good at Fakenham (2m) last time; fighting chance off same mark. |

2nd 6 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Losing streak nearing three years, and he folded pretty quickly after a mistake at Doncaster latest; 19lb lower than when well held in this race in 2023, but wouldn't be certain he could capitalise. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Last year's winner (from 7lb lower); form figures here (2m-2m4f) this year read 544343; finished in front of two of these rivals (Try Them and Nobotheratall) when a keeping-on third to Inappropriate over C&D latest; eased 1lb, and is back on her last winning mark (Hexham). |

3rd 6 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
C&D winner who was placed off 1lb higher in a bunch-finish here (2m4f, good) in July and was respectable fourth in Class 2 C&D contest last month; each-way claims at least. |

C&D winner who was seemingly back in good form when close third in bunch-finish here (2m4f, good) five weeks ago; up in grade today but remains on a good mark; no surprise if she features. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Very productive in 2025 but has gone the opposite way this year; pulled up in last two outings and, although 1lb below last winning mark, he is best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |
20/1 |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Last year's winner (from 14lb lower); went clear from the last to score at Haydock (2m Class 3, good to soft; from a similar mark) last December; more miss than hit (0-5) since, though, weakening quickly (pulled up) in the Cartmel Cup latest; risky proposition currently. |
25/1 |

4 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |
20/1 |
