4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Launched chasing career with two small-field wins in June (2m6f/2m4f, good) and held every chance before unseating rider on latest outing; may not be ideally suited by the forecast rain but might still be on the upgrade and could plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip. |

11st 10lb |
Switching to fences has reaped benefits, backing up his opening Stratford win with an authoritative display under 5lb claimer at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; evens favourite); another 5lb higher today; Sean Bowen is back aboard; strong likelihood of better to come, and stable won this last year, so he is the one to beat. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Five-time chase winner who bumped into a revitalised opponent when second in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and has solid claims if the ground is no worse than good to soft. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Good second over C&D (good) last September and ran pretty well in fourth over C&D (good) four weeks ago, when she was hampered three out on her second start back from a break; wears first-time cheekpieces and could get closer to the target this afternoon. |
6/1 |

4th 6 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has only finished out of the first two twice in 11 runs over fences; should be sharper for her second at Stratford (2m7f, good) last month, following an eight-month absence, and holds place claims at least. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
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. |

1st 3 |
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. |

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. |
7/4 |

2nd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won twice over C&D last summer but has been beaten off this mark three times this term and likely needs to come down the weights before he can be seriously considered. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Easy to disregard latest Stratford outing (rider lost irons early) but form of his previous second there has a shaky look to it; remains 7lb higher than for the second of two C&D wins last summer (good). |
10/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual chase winner at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer; gave good account when second over C&D (good to firm; first-time hood) last month, after a break, but the market principals in that race disappointed and the form is of questionable value; others look better handicapped. |
