4th Oct 2026 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
6yo who made it three wins for the season when scoring at Perth (3m, good) last month; respectable third there (3m, good) since; he was 6l behind Upfordebate last time but is 7lb better off today and this course winner could be thereabouts. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Returned to positive tactics here 17 days ago and stuck on well to beat a reliable yardstick by 5l; couldn't grumble about the 4lb rise. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Front-runner who was in good form in the spring (including over C&D on good to soft) and he made all in a small field at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) recently on his second start after a break; could make another bold bid. |
11/2 |

1st 2 |
29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner; won a 2m chase off 14lb lower mark here in March (good) and mainly decent runs at up to 2m4f since; should come on for latest outing (had been off for 107 days); a possible. |
9/4 |

5th 5 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to open chasing account at Sedgefield (2m1f, good; also suited by soft) in March and was still in good form when last seen in the spring; resumes on career-high mark but sports refitted cheekpieces and has a fighting chance if fully tuned up. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 under rules but ran his best race over fences when runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good) eight days ago in first-time visor (retained) when attempting to make all; 3lb higher in future chases and should run well. |
100/30 |

2nd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Still unexposed under rules and was seemingly aided by new cheekpieces when second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was well held when third at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now tries a visor; forecast rain probably not ideal. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who was in and out last season but returned to form when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in March last time; could have a part to play if conditions are suitable (he's unraced on good ground under rules). |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up over fences in May following a break but has reached the frame in all three starts since fitted with a visor this summer, latest back over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) when third to a subsequent winner; shaped as though well worth a try over this longer trip and is a leading contender. |

3rd 4 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Not seen over hurdles since 2024 but was clear second to a progressive rival over fences here (2m4f, good) in July and switches back to this code on the same mark; no surprise if he features. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
His sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off 2lb higher; didn't offer a great deal once headed when third at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month in a first-time visor (retained) but has dropped to a career-low mark with Sean Bowen on board so all is not lost. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has won twice since December (2m5f/2m7f) and kept on pretty well for second of five at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month but he's too inconsistent to rely upon heavily; others preferred. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
14th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Led close home in first-time cheekpieces here (2m5f, soft) last December and was also successful in four-runner race at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to firm) in May; too inconsistent to rely upon heavily and came to grief here last month but he's on a good mark if all goes to plan. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Two chase wins, the first over 2m5f here (soft) in December, the second at Huntingdon in May (2m7f, good to firm; four ran); decent third at Market Rasen last time; one with a chance. |
