20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Delivered on promise shown in Irish points/bumpers when making all twice over hurdles in novice company at Hexham (2m/2m4f, good) in May; respectable third on handicap debut there (2m4f, good) last month and looks quite interesting on this chase debut, even from 4lb out of the weights. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Return to forcing tactics has reaped dividends, both recent course wins (2m/2m4f, good) gained making all; starts handicap life in a higher grade than he absolutely has to, and the early lead will likely be contested, but his mark isn't punitive by any means; remains of interest. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Dual Irish point winner; showed marked improvement on what he'd previously achieved in three runs over hurdles when winning a maiden hurdle here over 2m this month, keeping on well; has to concede weight all round under a penalty, but his experience will help and it's likely there's more to come now going back up in trip. |

2nd 1 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won novice hurdle in April and is 3-3 over fences since, the latest win gained in three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; may still have more improvement to come if aided by first-time cheekpieces but contests a stronger race here and the drop back in trip is not sure to suit. |

1st 1 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon. |

1st 1 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Comes into this in good form having won a novice hurdle over 2m4f on good ground at Newcastle in April and on chase debut at Southwell 13 days ago; still feasibly treated; contender. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Signed off for Twiston-Davies stable with creditable second behind a next-time-out winner over hurdles in May, having made the running in first-time cheekpieces; last throughout on stable debut without headgear in four-runner Newton Abbot chase this month but the cheekpieces are back on here and it will be interesting to see whether connections revert to more positive tactics. |

4th 2 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Recently sold out of the Twiston-Davies yard for £27,000 and has since had a wind operation; failed to fire in two previous chases but ran well in his final race over hurdles, beating all bar a talented and revitalised winner; he's of obvious interest. |
7/4 |

2nd 2 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made winning handicap debut in Ireland in April 2025 but had disappointing campaign for new stable last season; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces here; needs to turn a corner. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Slightly disappointing when weakening fifth on last month's chasing debut at Hexham but now 2lb lower than when close third over hurdles here in May and will be dangerous if able to transfer that form to fences. |

5th 3 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-3 in French bumpers and 2-8 in British hurdles; ran big race from the front when third of ten at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month and could take some catching if she gets into a good rhythm on this chasing debut. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Has made a positive start for her current yard, scoring at Market Rasen (2m4f) in November and backing it up with a good second of 11 at Carlisle (2m1f) in February; well in the mix after a break with few miles on the clock. |
