3rd 9 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
2-3 over fences after his workmanlike 3l win at Perth (3m, good) where he was returning from wind surgery and wore first-time blinkers; went up 7lb but gets in here off a low weight and there could be further progress in him. |
5/1 |

1st 1 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Profited from a final-fence mistake from Defying Gravity to make winning C&D chase debut (good to soft; 7-4 favourite, from 6lb lower) in May; didn't jump with fluency when runner-up at Worcester (beaten over 8l) next time; back from wind surgery, with headgear also tweaked. |

2nd 2 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Broke his duck over hurdles after a few near misses and made a winning start to fences at Perth (3m) on his return from a break last month, albeit narrowly with the second making a costly error at the last; lacked fluency there but kept on well and, although a 6lb higher mark asks a question, another bold bid can be expected. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Best hurdles form (two wins) on soft or heavy; placed in two of his three starts over fences, albeit weakening at Uttoxeter (3m; beaten over 13l) 19 days ago; reportedly bled from the nose at Fontwell on penultimate start; task isn't impossible. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has won twice over hurdles; never threatened when third of four finishers on his second chase start, at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month in cheekpieces (left off here); needs to do more. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner on slow ground; safely held on chasing debut in November and well beaten when back over hurdles in February; back from another three-month break with cheekpieces refitted; others have much less to prove. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner (2m5f/2m3f) this spring, after a break; didn't see out 3m on latest outing but drops back in trip for this switch back to hurdling and his current mark is workable; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Continued his progress, turning over an odds-on stablemate of The Flying Poet at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; from 6lb lower; fences in the home straight were omitted) three weeks ago; his win in a small field there the time before was over nearly 2m7f; looks hard to beat in hat-trick mission, if proving equally effective over 3m. |
13/8 |
|
1st 3 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Knuckled down to get the better of the favourite in a tight finish here (2m6f, good; 7-2) a fortnight ago; that was his first win since his bumper days, so a nominal 3lb rise seems fair; dropping back in trip is unlikely to pose too much of a problem. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Maiden (0-19); runner-up at Kelso (3m, good) last October but out of form since; in rear throughout over 2m4f at Hexham (beaten 27l) latest; it isn't easy to build a compelling case for his chance. |
25/1 |
|
7th 2 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-18 under rules; just failed at Kelso (3m, good; beaten a neck) last October, but has had issues since, twice pulling up at Newcastle (bled from the nose on both occasions), and beaten 83l at Perth (3m) over three weeks ago; best watched. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Ex-Irish pointer; good second in a Kelso novice handicap chase (2m7f, good) last autumn but has pulled up on his two outings since (reportedly bled latest); something to prove. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-25 strike-rate; runner-up to Burgundy Man over C&D (soft) last October; underwhelming in two starts this year, beaten 47l at Downpatrick (3m, good) 19 days ago; blinkers are now added. |
7/1 |
|
10th 8 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 150y |
10st 11lb |
Sole win came over C&D last year off 3lb lower; was hit and miss since but can improve from recent comeback at Cartmel when beaten 15l; a player. |
3/1 |
|
4th 3 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Had a below-par Defence Witness behind when a C&D third off today's mark last June, and belatedly off the mark next time out back in Ireland; can go well after a break without necessarily being able to threaten a win. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden over hurdles (0-21); nothing positive to draw upon since scoring over fences here (3m, soft; 7-2) last October; tailed off post wind surgery here (chase) 44 days ago; a risky proposition. |
20/1 |
|

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Kept on to account for Thehairyfella over C&D (soft) last October; fortunes have dipped markedly since and he weakened quickly when beaten 45l over C&D (hurdle) latest; wind surgery and an added tongue-tie could prompt a revival from what is a workable mark; consult the market. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-20 over hurdles but won here (3m, soft) on chase debut last October; three major backward steps this spring prompt caution on this return to hurdling, with cheekpieces (tried often as hurdler last year) reinstated. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-8; scuppered his chance by making a final-fence mistake over C&D (The Flying Poet took full advantage) in May; unseated rider early over fences at Kelso next time and far from fluent back over hurdles at Cartmel latest; risks attached. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 6yo; in this new headgear combination when a late mistake (and some wandering) cost him a 3m chase at Perth and again he showed some quirks when ducking right and unseating at the first fence at Kelso on Sunday; capable of having a say on this return to hurdling but comes with an element of risk. |
13/2 |
|
5 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who advanced his form on his chasing debut (in a first-time hood) when a short-head second of eight in 3m handicap at Perth 11 days ago, looking probable winner until blundered last; up 6lb but merits serious consideration in retained headgear. |
