3rd 3 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Came good over fences with back-to-back C&D wins in July but was firmly put in his place when runner-up to Thickthorn Tom here in August; faces a stiff task from 8lb out of the weights. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Failed to complete in two of his first three chase starts but he's really got his act together with comfortable wins over C&D (good to firm) in his last two runs; up another 8lb but that was an emphatic success last time and he's open to more progress; key player. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
0-9 as a hurdler but only his fourth run over fences when making light work of The Gypsy Davey over C&D (add 23yds) six days ago; penalised accordingly but Paddy Hanlon's claim takes care of 5lb of that. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Record of 4-8 in points but 16 defeats under rules include eight chases; ran no race last time and she's 2lb wrong. |

6th 10 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Better known as a pointer, adding two more in the spring, and her challenge didn't last long over C&D three weeks ago; up against it from out of the weights. |

4th 10 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won two four-runner points this spring but has poor record under rules (0-14) and makes only limited appeal here. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1lb out of the weights; 1-23 over hurdles and 1-15 as a chaser, so finds winning difficult; again out of the weights last time at Stratford and ended up tailed off; probably up against it once more. |
9/1 |
|
7th 10 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has his limitations but he's running creditably at present, 4lb out of handicap when third of eight over 2m5f here 11 days ago; again out of the weights but has each-way hopes once more. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
8yo who has a poor strike-rate and is 4lb out of the handicap this evening; however, he ran pretty well when 10l third of eight at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2-21 over fences and hard to predict, as recent efforts illustrate; returned to form over C&D in July before a heavy defeat six days later, which admittedly may have come too soon; given a break since but his inconsistency remains a concern. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner from 20 attempts over fences; returned to form when second to It's A Breeze here last week where he wasn't unlucky despite some late interference; should run well with a repeat, but can be inconsistent. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Two small-field wins since returned to racing under rules this summer, one over C&D (good to firm) and the latter by 29l in first-time cheekpieces at Sedgefield (good) ten days ago; commands respect in current form. |
7/4 |

3rd 4 |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Left clear at penultimate fence (looked likely winner anyway) to open account under rules in four-runner chase at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to firm) last month and also ran well when close second over that C&D (good) on Friday; respected in current form. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who has come a long way down the weights and he's had a sticky period since finishing second at Market Rasen five runs back; however, coming back from 3m could be a good move. |
7/2 |
|
6th 2 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Difficult times since back from absence last June but he's dropped a long way in the weights and there have been some signs of life; non-stayer over the extended 3m3f at Stratford recently (Carpe Diem runner-up) but he didn't run badly and better is expected. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back with his former trainer on his last five starts; landed a four-timer for this yard in 2023; hasn't won since and has failed to complete on his last two starts; visor worn last time is left off; well handicapped if able to return to anywhere near his best form. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won on the Flat (2m, good to firm) and over hurdles (2m2f, good) last summer but he's been tailed off in all completed starts under both codes this year; has a lot to prove and he needs a major revival back on the Flat. |
25/1 |

No wins in 14; ran better in his third chase over C&D in May, beaten about 13l behind one having a good summer; 2lb out of the weights. |

3rd 6 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
13-race maiden who has been pulled up in both runs over fences (2m3f) and was tailed off back over hurdles at Exeter (2m, good) last time; opposable. |
33/1 |

5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Placed in a bumper and a novices' hurdle (heavy) when with Seamus Mullins; has failed to complete in all three starts for his current trainer. |
