22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual chase winner for Suzy Smith last season, latterly at Stratford (2m6f, good) in March; absent since a disappointing run over that C&D in May but it will be interesting to see what the market makes of him before this stable debut (same owners). |
7/2 |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
2-10 over fences, the latter win gained over C&D (good) in March; didn't run badly when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month and seems likely to be on the premises again. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed the benefit of a fourth wind operation when winning over hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May and only narrowly denied by an in-form Skelton horse off 3lb higher two weeks later; below par since but he returns to fences on a competitive mark. |
9/2 |
|
5th 1 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the benefit of a break and his latest wind op when making all at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; again ran well when close second of three over C&D (good) a fortnight later; respected. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
This front-runner didn't have it all his own way in a qualifier for this last month and, off this career-high mark, he inherited second place (beaten 8l by the winner); could be vulnerable again, though should run well provided he takes to the new visor (replacing cheekpieces). |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner who was granted an easy lead last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) and made no mistake by 3l; hard to grumble with the 3lb rise and if getting into a rhythm he should put up another bold show. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven chase wins, four under Gavin Sheehan; didn't get to the front at Southwell (2m, good) last month and never threatened the winner but shaped as though still in form; remains 7lb higher than for his latest win but could prove hard to catch if allowed an easy lead. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Triple winner over hurdles at up to 2m3f and goes well on a sound surface; 2lb lower than when last winning at Huntingdon 13 months ago; well below that level over fences/hurdles this season and down the field in 1m3f AW novice event in January when last seen; handy mark if revived. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles, but has lost her way over jumps; plenty to prove on belated Flat debut. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 6-23 over fences; not firing as he can this season but there's time yet and he's well handicapped. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual winner here (including C&D) who was second in this in 2024; built on seasonal debut when third over C&D (soft) in December but jumped right and disappointed at Exeter last time; contender to bounce back returned to this venue. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Well handicapped on his two chase wins this spring but he returned after a break with a laboured effort back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last month; has bit to prove again after that and his last hurdle win was two years ago. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Largely consistent 10yo who won three 2m4f chases last season; reverts to hurdling on a lower mark but has fitness to prove after 115-day absence and his usual cheekpieces are missing. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C&D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Looked a potential improver when convincing winner on second chase start, over C&D (good) last June; hasn't delivered on that promise since and was right off her game at Ffos Las in April; at least this is easier. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won readily at Worcester (2m4f, good) last spring and is still lightly raced over fences but her subsequent three runs (latest was over hurdles) were disappointing and she's 2lb wrong on first outing since December. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who build upon promising debut when winning by over 8l at Taunton (2m2f, good) in February 2024; not seen again since, though, and entitled to benefit from today's outing. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Went chasing late in her career but she's making a good fist of it and was going best from some way out when winning at Exeter (3m, good) in March; no blame attached for defeat next time and she didn't appreciate the 3m2f trip at Fontwell recently; a sharp 3m should suit; close up. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 7 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough over fences with 10l win at Exeter (3m, good) last month; was beaten by 10l when third of four at Plumpton (3m2f) last time but that was behind two progressive 6yos and her jockey went for home a circuit too soon; still has potential as a staying chaser and she's in the mix off same mark as last time. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
1-10 over hurdles and now 1-6 as a chaser after drawing clear for a 10l success at Exeter (3m, good); raised 7lb for winning that weak contest but there's no depth to this, either. |
15/8 |
