24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Gained both British wins at Bangor, latterly when making all (2m7f, good) four weeks ago; remains unexposed over this sort of trip and is probably still on a workable mark after recent 4lb rise; high on the list. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Suffered alarming dip in form after 2m3f course win (good to soft) last April but ran well from the front and was seemingly back in good nick when third over that trip here (good) last month; contender if able to build on that effort over this new trip. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a C&D handicap (good to soft) last April but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs and latest was back here in March; has some questions to answer and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back over hurdles just four days after a below-par chase run at Cartmel; twice runner-up in this sphere during the summer, including over C&D in refitted cheekpieces last month; major player if bouncing back to that level. |
10/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up twice over hurdles in recent weeks, latterly in refitted cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good), but was well beaten in both chases last year and needs to prove he can transfer his recent good form to fences. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

On a losing run but he got back on track with second of eight in 2m7f handicap at Bangor five days ago; now needs to back it up. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Exploited much-reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) and it was over 2m7f when not so good at Bangor; this should be more her trip but she is a hard mare to predict. |
8/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Out of form during light campaign last season but cashed in on much-reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) this month; not yet proven over this longer trip but recent 4lb rise ought to be manageable; respected. |
5/2 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Out of form since returning from long absence in December, albeit her seventh of eight at Aintree (2m4f, good; first run after wind op) last month was arguably more encouraging than bare form suggests; others have more pressing claims. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran quite well when third of seven (albeit well held in the end) on recent chasing debut at Hexham (3m, good) but is now 0-9 under all codes; 2lb wrong for this return to hurding; needs to find something extra. |

3rd 8 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Faring better since the switch to handicap hurdles, if again shaping as if the sharp course was against him when 12l third at Fakenham latest (3m, good); ought to find Hexham a better suit switching to fences, and one half-brother made a winning chase debut. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made fairly encouraging handicap debut when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month but was soundly beaten at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) four weeks ago and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; 2lb out of the weights. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Mostly out of form since joining current stable just over a year ago and was pulled up when upped to 2m7f for Bangor hurdle race last month, after a layoff; reverts to chasing in first-time visor; has too much to prove. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two claiming hurdes for Archie Watson (1m7f/2m) last spring but was 0-6 in handicaps for current stable afterwards; absent since heavy defeat over 2m3f in November and this reappearance run is his first venture beyond 2m5f; not the percentage call. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Eight-time hurdle winner, the last two in claimers in the spring; his three chase starts haven't been devoid of promise but he was only sixth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time and needs something extra. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins for Stuart Edmonds over 3m on heavy and soft ground at Southwell, the latest in February; changed hands for 2,400gns in April and now makes stable debut after 104-day break; tongue tied for first time; may find the ground too lively. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second in a small-field point in April but has not raced under rules since 70l defeat on handicap hurdle debut in November 2024 (2m7f); has tongue-tie refitted here; others have more persuasive profiles. |
