14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Bangor (2m7f, good) last month and another good run when second at Hexham (2m7f, good) last time; this front-runner can make another bold bid. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 |
2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Need not dictate to win but did enjoy having things mostly his own way in victory at Bangor latest (3m, good); 6lb rise to a career-high mark asks a stiff question, and rain might stir the pot further as he did not appreciate ground slower than good when last trying it a year ago. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
A fair 2m6f hurdles scorer for Eoin Doyle in Ireland in 2024; made a winning start for his current yard on the Flat at Thirsk in May and posted a good third back in this sphere at Worcester (2m4f) since; very much one to consider. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Thrived for his new stable this season until something amiss on penultimate start; back-to-form third under Isobelle Chalmers at Chester (2m, soft; acts on good to firm) three weeks ago and probably won't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 10 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Thrived for his new stable this season until something amiss at Carlisle on latest start; his preceding two starts were a 1m4f win here (good to soft) and 2m second here (good) and the form gives him an each-way chance here despite position 2lb out of the handicap; 7lb claimer is recruited too. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Thriving for his new stable and gained a third success in 1m4f Chester handicap in June; backed that up with a good second of seven in 2m handicap there since; big player off the same mark here. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time winner at about 1m4f on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott, reaching a fairly useful standard (RPR 87); sold for 20,000gns since last run; possibilities assuming he takes well to hurdles. |
11/10 |
|
10th 1 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Four-time winner (all 1m4f on a sound surface) with three of those in blinkers, latterly at Catterick (good; made all) on his penultimate start; overdid it in the lead before beating one home at Goodwood 12 days ago but could bounce back; cheekpieces (second on all three attempts) are reapplied. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progress 4yo; won at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April and added to that success at Catterick (1m4f, good) 29 days ago, making all under Poppy Scott; can't be dismissed off this 2lb higher mark. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won on first outing for Dan Skelton at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and third on both starts since (2m2f/2m3f, good) in races that have worked out extremely well; this 4yo is firmly in calculations. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Scored on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and was placed behind Ballynoe Boy over similar trip to today's at Market Rasen (good) three weeks ago; 5lb better off with that rival here and seems fine on slower ground; likely contender. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Left Jedd O'Keeffe for £21,000 in May and given wind surgery; first run since when justifying 5-6 favouritism in 11-runner handicap at Uttoxeter three weeks ago (2m, good); he did that narrowly but he was delivered late, so the 7lb rise could be very manageable. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Battled well to shade a tight finish over 2m in the mud at Beverley under Jake Dickson at the end of August but beaten upwards of 13l in his five other starts this year; only 1lb higher than Beverley but it's hard to know what to expect. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has failed to beat a rival in five of his six runs this season but he battled well when winning in the mud at Beverley (2m, heavy) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form but he needs to bounce back again after a laboured effort at York. |
14/1 |
|
12th 11 (2) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Failed to beat a rival on his first three starts this season but returned to form with a bang for short-head win under Jake Dickson in an apprentice handicap at Beverley (2m, heavy) last Sunday, the front two miles clear; escapes a penalty today and has to be firmly in calculations. |
6/1 |
