20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home over C&D (good) last month and has now won three of his last four; probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 5lb rise but must be considered in current mood. |
4/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Exposed multiple winner; he would have found the ground too soft when beaten by King Sacre at Hexham and then dug deep to win at Kelso (2m, good; 5lb lower); entitled to have some say. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Improved to cause 25-1 surprise in C&D (good) novice last month, her fourth start over hurdles, but the value of that form is open to question (market principals disappointed) and her opening handicap mark probably demands further progress. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four hurdle wins, including this race in 2022; well held in C&D selling handicap in May, after a break, but last month's keeping-on second here was much better and he remains on a workable mark. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
He has competitive form here but not last month when tailed off in a selling handicap; that was after 167 days away but he had to show more. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Absent since December but that was a good run at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) and he has competitive form here on good ground; one to consider. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Took a while to get off the mark for current stable and had become expensive to follow but exploited much-reduced mark when winning stylishly at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) a week ago and still looks well treated under a 7lb penalty. |
13/8 |

1st 6 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Still chasing a first British success since his French 2023 hurdle win and, while he has posted a few placed efforts, he has failed to quite see out his races over trips beyond 2m; another 3lb lower but needs to raise his game. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Yet to add to his French hurdle win in 2023 and didn't find much for pressure when fourth off this much-reduced mark at Worcester (2m, good) on Thursday; that certainly wasn't a bad run but others appeal more. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ran well for a long way when third at Kelso (2m2f, good) in April but two lesser efforts have followed and he's now 0-7 for current stable; sometimes races too freely; others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Naas winner (2m4f maiden hurdle) for Stuart Crawford in December 2024; 0-6 for this trainer, beaten 25l at Hexham (2m, good; 9-1) six weeks ago; mark continues to slide, now 11lb lower than three starts back; others are more obvious. |

6th 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 for current stable since the autumn but seemingly aided by refitted hood and/or first-time tongue-tie when respectable third at Kelso (2m2f, good) last month and has dropped another 3lb since. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Out of form for new stable this year and needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not threatened to supplement March 2025's lucky Catterick novice success (2m, good) in five starts since almost a year off, including over this C&D latest; tongue-tie returns. |
40/1 |
|
6th 3 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-French mare; fortunate to win small-field Catterick novice (1m7f, good) for Paula Smith on British debut in March 2025 and soundly beaten in all five subsequent handicaps, the last four times for new stable this year; drops back in trip (from 2m4f). |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Now 9lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) last August but his form has slumped since and a revival is needed. |
12/1 |
|
9th 10 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Won at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but form has slumped badly since and he has shown no sign of a revival in two runs since returning from a break in April. |
66/1 |

8th 10 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but his form has nosedived since, beating just one after a lay-off at Sedgefield (2m1f) 13 days ago. |

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. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden who often races freely and he's 3lb out of the weights for this second run over fences; he was well held in the first. |
25/1 |
