18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Progressed well this summer, winning four of seven starts, including a comfortable defeat of It's A Breeze over C&D in August; improved again in defeat when upped to 3m and finishing a 4l second to another progressive type at Bangor two weeks ago; likely to be involved but further improvement is needed off a 3lb higher mark. |

2nd 6 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Fast-improving 6yo who competed a hat-trick when easily beating three rivals at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) eight days ago; carries 7lb penalty in higher-grade race here but should cope if the ground ends up good to soft (unraced on slower) and is 3lb ahead of the handicapper. |

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. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up after losing a shoe in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time, having finished in the frame in his five previous races this term, all off much lower marks over fences; went up 19lb when completing a hat-trick in handicap hurdles last season, so although conditions suit, faces a stiffer task now back hurdling. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Three hurdle wins at up to 2m4f last season (all with some give in the ground); fair form over fences at up to 3m2f this term (second over 2m3f here two runs back); wouldn't rule out. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Six-time hurdle winner; 0-11 as a chaser and unproven over this far, but he's running well and a late mistake perhaps cost him here last time (2m3f); chance if he can see this out. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
In fairly good form over fences this season and ran big race when third in C&D (good) hurdle 16 days ago, looking likely winner until succumbing in closing stages; up in grade today but still on a good hurdle mark; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor; can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won two chases on ground slower than good in December (2m4f/2m3f) and has been running fairly well over fences this season; well beaten when reverting to hurdling last month but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is on a good mark. |

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. |

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. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

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. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |

Unplaced in all seven Irish points this year and barely sighted in two runs back under rules; hard to fancy. |

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. |

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. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

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 |

5th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 50y |

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. |
