29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won two Hexham novice hurdles in May (2m/2m4f) and rewarded strong market support when winning from just out of the weights over C&D (also on good) last month, jumping well and making all; could still have a lot more to offer over fences. |

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. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Made it 4-5 over fences with 10l win in three-runner handicap at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good to firm) last month and beaten just a neck in a match at Perth (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; bumped into an unexposed winner last time and there is every chance that he will again be bang there. |

2nd 1 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive 6yo who comfortably beat two rivals at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 4-5 over fences; went up another 4lb for that but will be fine over this shorter trip and makes obvious appeal. |
8/11 |

1st 1 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won his first three races over fences (2m4f to an extended 2m5f) and, in first-time cheekpieces, ran well enough at Cartmel (2m1f; Krak 15l behind) to believe he's still on a workable mark; hard to knock. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who is 0-10 since his hurdles success in April last year, latterly in four starts over fences for this stable, although his close second at Bangor (2m1f, good) last time was encouraging; reverts to hurdles on a stiff enough mark and back up in trip but should still be competitive. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
A fairly useful ex-Irish winning hurdler; yet to score in a trio of runs over fences for his current yard this summer and failed to get home over 2m6f when second of three in Stratford handicap chase 19 days ago; not out of things though back in trip here. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Winning hurdler in Ireland and runner-up over hurdles on final run for the Twiston-Davies yard; back over fences (0-4) in two runs for Dan Skelton and didn't see either race out with much purpose (2m/2m1f), and those were after a wind operation; reservations for now and returning to further isn't an obvious positive. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Placed off 4lb higher in competitive handicap hurdle here (2m1f, good) in June, but weakened into fifth on chasing debut at Hexham in June and was pulled up in C&D race won by well-backed stablemate Passing Diamond last month; could still have a future over fences but has a point to prove. |

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. |
