Picked up a weak race on stable debut at Stratford (2m5f, good to firm); subsequent thirds were remote and this race doesn't look a great deal easier. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Successful stable debut at Stratford (2m5f, good to firm) but that was a weak race and he was a remote third over C&D a fortnight ago; that was perhaps too bad to be true but it still leaves him with a bit to prove. |

10st 4lb |
Recorded his third chase success on his stable debut at Stratford (2m5f, good to firm) last month; that looked a weak affair and he has been hit by a 7lb rise but he may still have more in his locker for his new yard. |

11st 8lb |
Not yet proven over this far but ran quite well when third (albeit well held in the end) at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in August and is now back on same mark as for narrow course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; no surprise if he features. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor run in June but has largely consistent record since switched to fences last autumn and seems versatile regarding trip; raced mainly on good ground but handles good to soft; could have a say. |
8/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran with five wins over fences; inconsistent nowadays but returned to winning ways at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July off 6lb lower; beaten 48l back there last time and he may find this too competitive. |

11st 2lb |
He was off his last winning mark when always prominent and doing it readily over C&D last time; should be a factor off 6lb higher. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't always needed as many as two runs back to hit his straps, so arguably has a bit to prove now having posted only well-beaten thirds on his two starts this summer; has returned to his last winning mark, though. |

10st 8lb |
Won two Stratford chases last year (2m1f/2m3f) and has rediscovered some form on last two outings; travelled well for a long way when second to progressive rival over C&D (good) three weeks ago; contender off same mark. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Won two chases at Stratford (2m1f-2m4f) last summer, latterly off 3lb higher, but lost his way afterwards; took a step back in the right direction when third there last time, running well for a long way before fading late; needs to back that up but won't be inconvenienced by this drop back in trip. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won this contest last year off the same mark on the back of another win here, but has pulled up on his last three starts; not in the same form as last year so difficult to enthuse over. |
