2nd 4 (10) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won in a first-time visor over hurdles in July (2m, good) on second stable start and he followed up in a small field on the Flat at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) last month; he's run well on soft ground over hurdles and may have more to offer in the headgear; chance. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Form for new yard comprises a staying-on third at York (1m4f; first Flat start since 2024) and career-best success, with visor applied, in notable 2m handicap hurdle at Market Rasen; may have more to offer in the retained headgear; respected. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |

Useful Flat performer and also 2-15 as a hurdler (regularly placed); left Harry Fry for £15,000 and was a 6l third over 1m4f at York on last week's stable debut (no headgear); first-time visored now (effective in tongue-tie/cheekpieces). |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
C&D winner (Class 4; from 22lb lower) last October; won well at Plumpton (2m; from 13lb lower) in April and posted a career best in a C&D Class 2 in July, run down only late on (not fluent at the last two); the task is even tougher from 4lb higher; certainly isn't discounted though. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Best on good ground as he showed when running away with the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton in April; however, that came at a cost to the tune of 10lb and he failed to fire behind Moon Chime in the Swinton; others might be better in here. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Didn't come off the bridle when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (2m Class 4, good) in June for his third win over hurdles; ran well when third over C&D subsequently (Indemnity second and a few of these rivals behind); latest Perth effort (fifth) was slightly underwhelming. |

5th 3 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat racer who won three of his first four hurdling starts and was creditable third in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) on latest outing four weeks ago; not yet fully exposed over jumps; must be considered. |
11/2 |

3rd 10 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
1m4f winner who has gone 3-4 over hurdles for Tom Lacey and easily won on handicap debut last time at Southwell (good; second run in this headgear combination), albeit against only four rivals; up 8lb but has momentum behind him. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Five wins on a variety of conditions, taking his form to a new level when winning the Class 3 Cartmel Cup (2m1f, good; 8-1) four weeks ago; competes from 5lb higher (up 21lb since February) but has shown (when fourth) that he can handle this sharp track. |

1st 6 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive for new stable since the autumn, collecting four wins (2m-2m1f, good-heavy) along the way; below form when tried over 2m5f last week (no headgear) but was fourth in last month's Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces; refitted today) and is now 2lb lower. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Interesting he was still staying on into fourth (about 23l ahead of Letterston Lily) at the end of a generously run Summer Hurdle last time, though remains untried beyond a sharp 2m4f; 7lb higher mark than for June's easy 2m1f win here leaves him with almost nothing in hand. |

10st 13lb |
4-8 over hurdles but yet to win above a Class 4; distant third to Morning Mayhem at Newton Abbot in June and only fifth (behind three of these rivals) over C&D the following month; pulled up on the Flat at Chester latest, so it's difficult to envisage him even making the frame. |
25/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Last seen on Flat in 2024 for Mick Appleby and has a chance if resuming in similar vein; 4-8 as a fairly useful hurdler (ran respectably on latest start) for current yard since; considered. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |

Record of 4-7 over hurdles but this is tougher than usual and he could have run a lot better back from a break at Newton Abbot; others appeal more. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Below par over hurdles at Market Rasen in July last time; however, he won the competitive Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (1m7f, good) in May and followed up in good style on the Flat at Kempton (2m, AW); lightly raced in this code and there remains potential in his mark judged on his bumper/hurdle form; effective on testing ground early in his career; could play a leading role. |
13/2 |
|
6th 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
2-3 in bumpers and 5-11 over hurdles after leading late on in the Swinton (good); that was in a first-time tongue-tie that was also on when winning a 2m AW handicap in late May; off just 4lb higher than at Haydock, he's very much in the mix. |
17/2 |

1st 10 (3) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bumper and pretty useful hurdle winner, including at Haydock in the prestigious 2m Swinton 18 days ago when tongue tied for the first time; Flat career of just four races, latest when fourth of eight from the back when joint-favourite on Flat handicap debut at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; has more to offer in this sphere and is one to note. |

Unexposed 5yo who makes his handicap debut after easy odds-on wins on good ground at Warwick and Stratford, posting an eye-catching RPR last time when barely put through the gears; could easily be on a lenient mark. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

Runner-up on first two hurdling starts and did not need to improve to win easily at Warwick (2m, good) a fortnight ago; bred to be suited by today's longer trip and has obvious claims. |

Close second in 15-runner Chepstow novice (2m, good to soft) on debut in October; absent until turned over at skinny odds at Southwell (2m, good) last month but the winner was a useful Flat performer who has since followed up; ought to go one better here. |

Defied an absence to win over C&D (good) in April and bounced back from Market Rasen disappointment to win at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; showed promise on soft ground earlier in career; this progressive mare is a solid contender up 5lb for last time. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism at Perth in April (2m4f, good) on return from a long absence but fared nothing like so well at Market Rasen a month ago; she's consistent in the main and could bounce back; 5lb higher than for that recent win; non-runner at Newton Abbot yesterday. |

11st 10lb |
Weakened quickly when tailed off in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (2m, good) in July; however, he was in good form previously (2m-2m4f, good) and drops back down in grade today; the hood (in which he's gained his last two wins) replaces the cheekpieces; not ruled out. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |

Three hurdle wins at around 2m; has been running well in defeat this summer (2m-2m4f), mostly in a hood but in no headgear last time; cheekpieces now added; others are more compelling. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has faced stiff tasks since arriving in Britain but has been disappointing even so and failed to improve for the drop to this level when a remote last of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f) last time; has come a long way down the weights but for good reason; plenty to prove at present. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Mostly stiff tasks since arrival in Britain but disappointing even so, posing zero threat in the Summer Hurdle latest; hard to entertain despite this easier grade, and winless on sound turf surfaces also. |

10th 7 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Useful Flat form in France; after winning a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins he was essentially disappointing under both codes and has got nothing going for Dan Skelton, with his latest run after wind surgery at Newton Abbot thoroughly underwhelming (8-1 and weak in the betting); very much the stable second string. |

Front runner; 2-8 over hurdles and returns to this discipline off a good mark having completed a hat-trick over fences three weeks ago off 4lb higher; has found his best form since joining this yard in January and this track should suit him well. |

Front-running 7yo who brings impressive stats, being 3-5 since joining new yard, 3-4 since dropped to 2m and wearing cheekpieces, 2-2 since returned to chasing (Perth double) and 3-3 under Oakley Brown; should make another bold bid, despite taking a 9lb hike for latest win. |

4yo who went close on handicap debut at Ascot (1m7f, good) last March and bounced back from July's flop at Market Rasen to win in fine style at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to firm) four weeks ago; 8lb higher in a better race today but open to further improvement and he's respected. |
