24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Back from six months off with success in 2m1f handicap chase at Stratford (2m1f) in May; only seventh of ten in 2m handicap hurdle here 17 days ago but no surprise to see him bounce back reverting to this sphere. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All three defeats over hurdles have been in maidens; has since gone 5-9 over fences, last time making all at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) after wind surgery; off the same mark for his handicap debut as a hurdler. |

11st 2lb |
Won four times over fences last spring/summer but was beaten 25l at Lingfield (2m, good) when last seen in November; has had wind surgery since and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; must hold claims from good yard if ready to roll. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who flopped over hurdles in June but has had a break since and was a good second over fences here (2m1f, good to firm) in May; ran well in 2m5f novice hurdle in March and should be fine back up in trip; could bounce back with a bold bid under regular rider Amber Jackson-Fennell. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual point winner; still seeking first rules win (0-6); likes to race prominently, weakening on the run-in when last seen over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) in April; went down fighting over fences at Stratford 12 days ago; player. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A dual winning pointer, he was runner-up twice over hurdles this year but disappointed when beaten 20l over fences at Bangor (2m4f, good) last Saturday; drops back in trip and may be worth another chance. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did well for Tom Lacey in early part of last season, winning three times over hurdles, and reappeared with fairly encouraging chase debut in May; failed to build on that when well-held fourth over C&D last month but still enters calculations in this lower grade. |
7/1 |

4th 7 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Much improved for Tom Lacey last season when a three-time 2m hurdles winner; off six months and made a promising start in this sphere with third of five in 2m1f handicap at Stratford 32 days ago, running on late under a patient ride; one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Four-times winning hurdler making a belated debut over fences after six-month break; hard to fancy unless there is a move in the market. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice here last season, the second time over this trip following a break and off a pound lower (good); handles fast ground and was in fair form when last out (June); good chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Front-runner whose two wins last year came at Sedgefield when making all; has had excuses since returning from a short break in May, possibly stretching his stamina over 2m5f first time and finding the race coming too soon latest; only 1lb higher than for his latest win but needs to step up. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner whose two wins last year came at Sedgefield when making all; his suspect stamina gave out in a match at Hereford (2m5f, good) 18 days ago but this track back down in trip should play to his strengths; regular hood returns after being omitted last time. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Sole success over fences when trained by Dan Skelton over two years ago; plenty of water under the bridge since but was still in with a chance when falling at the last fence over C&D (good to firm) in May; looks the obvious alternative should the favourite slip up. |
9/2 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice for the Skeltons; showed his best form for his current yard when fifth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) 26 days ago; his mark continues to drop and he should find another opening at some point. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won twice for Dan Skelton but opposable on what he's shown in last four races, all handicaps divided between hurdles and fences. |
