26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Five wins on a variety of conditions, taking his form to a new level when winning the Class 3 Cartmel Cup (2m1f, good; 8-1) four weeks ago; competes from 5lb higher (up 21lb since February) but has shown (when fourth) that he can handle this sharp track. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive for new stable since the autumn, collecting four wins (2m-2m1f, good-heavy) along the way; below form when tried over 2m5f last week (no headgear) but was fourth in last month's Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces; refitted today) and is now 2lb lower. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Interesting he was still staying on into fourth (about 23l ahead of Letterston Lily) at the end of a generously run Summer Hurdle last time, though remains untried beyond a sharp 2m4f; 7lb higher mark than for June's easy 2m1f win here leaves him with almost nothing in hand. |

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. |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good for Chris Gordon at third attempt, with emphatic win in Class 2 handicap at Perth (2m, good) in August; raced too freely and managed only fourth of five when favourite to follow up over C&D last month but remains of strong interest. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Second in this last year when trained by Alan King and he won at Perth (2m, good) last month on his third start for this yard; hit with a 7lb rise for last time but 5lb claimer Fern O'Brien retains the ride and his trainer has won two of the last three runnings of his race; he's one to consider. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took this in 2025 but winless since and came in a well-held seventh of eight at Uttoxeter (2m4f) in May; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
All five wins over hurdles have been at 2m; hasn't won since his return to action in October and ran poorly when eighth of nine finishers at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; handicapper is at last relenting but his best chance of success in the short-term may be back at 2m. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Flat/hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien; pulled up in two hurdle runs for his new stable and hard to know what to expect now back on the Flat. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year; 12-1, pulled up in a Fakenham handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, now removed) on stable debut in March; best watched. |
