15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Caused 28-1 surprise in first-time hood at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) in November and remained in good form until end of last season (2m-2m7f); edging back down the weights and holds each-way claims at least. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Ridden throughout this season by 10lb claimer Dillon Butler; plenty of experience over hurdles and the one win, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in November in a first-time hood which has been kept since; good third last time but that was over 2m, which casts doubt over this new trip. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained all four hurdle wins over the extended 2m2f here (good/good to firm), the latest off 2lb lower in May; stays this longer trip but needs to bounce back from a 39l defeat over C&D last month. |
11/4 |
|
8th 5 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
All four hurdle wins have come over the extended 2m2f here, the latest in May; close fourth of six over 2m here the following month; has shown promise over this C&D in the past and could have a part to play. |
9/2 |

4th 1 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
All of his four hurdle wins have been at Stratford and latest was a front-running success over about 2m3f (good to firm) last month; remains feasibly treated off 3lb higher and this in-form 7yo is a major player on this drop back in trip. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when winning four-runner Fakenham maiden (2m, good) last month, his fifth start over hurdles; contests much deeper race on this handicap debut but probably still has potential; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish bumper winner who has finished second on two of his four hurdling starts for Olly Murphy, latterly in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; below that form on heavy ground in February but this much quicker surface ought to suit him better; good chance. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Overcame a slipping saddle to score on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; 18-1, from 5lb lower) in May; kept busy on the Flat at Chester lately, producing creditable efforts (fourth and runner-up); still low mileage as a hurdler, with the potential to rate higher. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time Flat scorer at around 1m2f in 2025; also successful over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May and back in good form in this sphere, when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here a week ago; very much one to consider. |
15/2 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles in May; runner-up over C&D in June but only sixth behind Nibras Gold the following month; could still go well, having finished second in a division of this last year. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Long in the tooth and no longer the force of old but bounced back from two poor chase runs with respectable effort over hurdles at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month and is now 5lb lower than when going close in this race a year ago; could have a say. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Very capable over fences but pulled up in that discipline on his last two starts following a break of 217 days; he did go close over hurdles at Aintree three runs ago so there's a big effort in him if he can get his act together. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 145y |
11st 10lb |
Unexposed 5yo who might have been stretched by 2m5f when third on handicap debut at Haydock in March; weakened quickly at Aintree on final run for Tom Lacey; market will reveal expectations on first start for Ian Donoghue; new headgear. |
16/1 |

6th 8 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Unexposed 5yo who might have been stretched by 2m5f when third of nine on handicap debut at Haydock (good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March; contender if combination of drop back in trip and switch to visor helps. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Began hurdling career with two inauspicious runs in the autumn but displayed significant improvement when third at Plumpton (2m, soft; winner followed up in recent handicap) in January; sports first-time cheekpieces and moves up in trip for this handicap debut; can progress again. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not entirely straightforward, but he did bounce back from a below-par effort (upped to 2m4f here) when going close at Bangor last time (2m1f, good) despite late hanging; 1-10 over hurdles and vulnerable to less exposed rivals, unless the cheekpieces can elicit a little more from him. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
A fair 2m winner last season; back to his best with third of six in 2m Stratford handicap in June before a non-staying fifth in 2m4f handicap at Uttoxeter last time; not out of things back in trip. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 |
26th Jul 2026 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned after six months off with a win in a Warwick handicap (2m, good) last November; back near that form when third of six at Stratford four weeks ago but he has not yet ventured beyond 2m1f. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice in blinkers on good ground last summer (2m/2m1f) but was given a break after two disappointing runs in the autumn and made a low-key return without blinkers last month; has blinkers back on today but needs to get back in the groove. |
20/1 |

7th 7 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two wins last summer (2m/2m1f, good), the latest off just a 1lb lower mark; form has dipped in his last two races, at Cheltenham and then Carlisle where he should have run better; absent since November. |
12/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Perked up by blinkers this summer, winning twice, but faded into third after setting the pace in run-of-the-mill Worcester handicap (2m, good) last month and is patently not the force of old. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair on the Flat when based in Ireland but unplaced all five hurdling starts there; made low-key stable debut (on the Flat) last month and has quite a bit more to prove than some of these. |
33/1 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who brings a long losing spell to this debut for new yard, as it's three years since his sole win; finished second in a Dundalk claimer (1m4f) when last seen. |
9/1 |
|
4 (17) |
29th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Losing run goes back to a turf success in April 2023; below form when sixth in a claimer at Roscommon in August; better when taking the same place at this venue 12 days ago. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
1m4f Flat winner in France last August when trained by David Menuisier but it's hard to get excited by his efforts on the Flat or over hurdles for current yard, the latest over hurdles at Uttoxeter 13 days ago; best watched unless the betting speaks in his favour. |
20/1 |

5th 3 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
1m4f Flat winner in France last August when trained by David Menuisier; 80-1 fifth of 13 to Uncle Remus over C&D (good) 19 days ago was easily the closest finish from his five runs over hurdles; needs to build markedly on that but his old Flat ability is not yet forgotten. |
8/1 |

5th 6 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won on the Flat in France last August when trained by David Menuisier; has shown little in four runs over hurdles for current yard. |
