30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Generally disappointing since winning off 4lb higher on AW in February but was denied a clear run when midfield in competitive Haydock handicap (1m, good) three weeks ago and enters calculations in this lower grade. |
7/1 |

6th 14 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Unplaced last five starts, not really finishing his races; carries obvious risks but his three turf wins came over 1m on good to firm ground and he now returns after a wind operation; he's well handicapped if the surgery has had a positive effect. |

10st 1lb |
Scored off current mark on reappearance (1m2f, AW; in February) but hasn't been in the same form since, latterly back on turf, disappointing favourite returned to 1m most recently. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Narrow C&D winner (Class 4; 12-1) in November and, broadly speaking, has acquitted himself respectably since; stamina was likely overstretched at Wolverhampton (1m4f) latest; it's interesting that Jack Callan (1-1) returns to the saddle from just 1lb above that winning mark. |
4/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
1m2f and 1m4f AW winner, including on Tapeta; backed up November's Newcastle success with a respectable third at Lingfield last month; was below that level at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) latest; drops 1lb and can be competitive if he acts at this track. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time winner over 1m2f at Newcastle last year; returned from wind surgery with a good second of five at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in July but well below form there last month; drops in grade needing to bounce back. |
33/1 |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Three 1m2f wins on Newcastle AW towards the end of last year and he returned from a break and wind surgery to finish second over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was no match for the winner Jez Bomb but is 7lb better off today and is not ruled out. |

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. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 2-33 on the AW but proved game when scoring by half a length at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; only 2lb higher and likely to go well again. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
Modest strike-rate of 1-32 on the AW, and that was at Newcastle, but he does act well over this C&D, having been involved in tight finishes in two of his three attempts and placed in the other; weighted to go well. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |

Only 1-17 and it's been a while now since he ran a positive race; readily opposed. |
33/1 |
|
9th 7 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on old form but well below best for new yard earlier this year and has since finished well held on debut over hurdles (following a wind op), though did run well to a point; others safer. |
