29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual C&D (good) winner this season, latterly when keeping on too strongly for Mr Lincoln last month; subsequent 4lb rise does not look excessive and capable 10lb claimer Leah Noreci is booked but the forecast rain is a worry. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to win C&D (good) selling handicap for George Bewley in May, her tenth hurdling start, and also ran well when third here (2m6f, good) on last month's stable debut; this drop back in trip is probably the right move; ought to make her presence felt. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat three weeks ago and now 0-13 since joining Iain Jardine but was second to Alvesta over C&D (good) on latest hurdling start and is also suited by slower ground; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Did well to finish third after stumbling at the start at Carlisle (1m1f, good) last month and has since run well over hurdles; no issue with track, trip or ground conditions and has possibilities for a trainer who has won this three times since 2021. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed behind Alvesta over C&D last month and kept on for fourth behind Zamond over C&D (also on good) two days later but his career strike-rate is now 0-43; 2lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |
12/1 |

4th 8 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Swapped usual cheekpieces for refitted visor and gave good account when third from 3lb out of the weights over C&D (good) on Saturday; will effectively be 1lb lower if he turns out again but his 0-42 career strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ran well to a point when fourth in C&D selling handicap won by Alvesta in May but was beaten about 19l in the end and has been safely held in two subsequent chases; 3lb wrong today and now 0-40 under rules. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Launched handicap career with two respectable runs (both 2m, good) towards end of last season but, following a wind op, took backward step when safely held at Uttoxeter on Wednesday; sports refitted hood here; improvement required. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Hinted at ability in three novice hurdles and didn't run badly when third on handicap debut, albeit beaten 18l; failed to back that up at Taunton the following month but has since had wind surgery; returns from a break with a tongue-tie added and could have more to offer. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Showed promise in her bumpers but had only hinted at that ability in three novice hurdles before stepping up on handicap debut when a keeping-on third from off the pace at Stratford (2m, good) last month; open to further progress and one to consider off 1lb lower. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Set plenty to do in a muddling race for amateurs when third at 8-15 at Catterick on latest Flat start (1m4f, good to firm); bit below-par over hurdles last time; first try at 1m6f. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year on good to soft (also successful over C&D on good to firm); another decent C&D effort when third in a higher grade in May and creditable third over hurdles since; likely to go well. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fair Flat racer with three middle-distance wins on his CV; yet to show any significant promise after four hurdle starts this year but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and some of that Flat ability may yet transfer to this discipline; watch the betting. |
8/1 |

6th 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time Flat winner at 1m3f-1m4f but has yet to replicate that form over hurdles, being soundly beaten in both completed starts, on good ground; may do better in time but can only be watched at present. |

His last two wins were over 2m and back in early 2024; comfortably held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; others are preferred. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ran well for a long way when third of seven on latest hurdling start, at Doncaster (2m, soft) in February, and will be fine on the faster ground here but recent Flat form has been underwhelming; others appeal more. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-11 over hurdles and prone to clumsy jumping; belied 33-1 odds when second at Perth (2m, good) last month and didn't run badly over 2m4f there 16 days ago but others look less risky. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Ran one of his best races since going handicapping when second to Betteryouthanme (who's now 4lb worse off for just over 1l) over 2m at Hexham last time (good; 33-1); has run creditably at this trip; a possible. |
8/1 |

2nd 11 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Placed off 5lb higher at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April but has very mixed record over hurdles and is sometimes a clumsy jumper; safely held on last two outings; others look much safer. |
