1st 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Cut little ice over hurdles last season, but he's been progressive over fences this summer and made it three wins from his last four starts when scoring at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and could be a major force again. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has left his hurdle form behind over fences and he beat the odds-on winner with the pair clear at Stratford last weekend (2m3f, good to firm); carries a penalty for that in what looks a winnable contest. |

2nd 2 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Six hurdle wins, including two over 2m4f here; yet to score over fences, but in the frame on all three starts this season, last time (July) finishing runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good); a possible. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle winner who is rated 12lb lower over fences and he rediscovered some form when beaten 2l at Cartmel three weeks ago (2m5f, good); should be bang there if repeating that effort. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three on the bounce over hurdles in February (2m-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but has lost his form in the blink of an eye and finished last on his recent return to chasing (0-8). |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won twice over fences within a week last December; some minor honours since and edging back down the weights for this first hurdle race since February 2025 but trying this longer trip on penultimate start resulted in his worst recent performance; 10lb claimer is recruited. |
16/1 |

3rd 3 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice over fences within a week last December but has essentially struggled off his new mark and still 6lb higher than for those two wins; still commands some respect in this weak a race. |
9/2 |
|
5th 9 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent either side of two wins at about 2m4f last December (good to soft and heavy) but there's nothing eyecatching about his mark now and he needs to find extra for the new trip. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Struggles for consistency and has gone backwards since finishing third at Hereford in March (3m1f, good); first-time blinkers did nothing for him last time and they're retained. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Hasn't won for three years and struggles for consistency; made an encouraging return when third at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March but couldn't back it up when well beaten at Bangor in refitted cheekpieces last time; blinkers now replace them but others appeal more. |
66/1 |
|
9th 2 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has become bitterly disappointing but handicapped accordingly and his third at Hereford was better (3m1f, good); cheekpieces are back on but they'd done little for him previously. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Unplaced in all seven Irish points this year and made low-key return to racing under rules when well beaten here (2m4f, good) on last month's stable debut; drops back in trip with cheekpieces tried today. |
33/1 |

5th 6 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Eight defeats under rules include seven as a chaser; forgettable form in Irish points this year. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Record of 1-14 in Irish points; 0-9 over hurdles (was placed); made a quiet stable debut in that discipline and he was pulled up in a hunter chase on one previous run over fences. |
20/1 |

5th 6 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-8 over hurdles (last seen in this sphere in 2024) in Ireland and 1-14 in points; has changed hands and left Thomas Britten; chance rests on form in 2023. |
40/1 |
|
7 |
5th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 50y |
12st 0lb |
Record of 1-8 in points and was a close runner-up last time in a winners' race; maiden over hurdles is rated 106 in that sphere; will need to find improvement to score. |
