26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
An improved third in a novice hurdle on final run for Paul Nicholls, whom he left for £21,000; made an immediate impact for James Owen when making all on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good; by 3l off 7lb lower); in deeper here but remains something of an unknown quantity. |

1st 2 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Pulled up on first two hurdling starts for Paul Nicholls but seemed to be getting his act together when close third of five at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) in May; subsequently changed hands for £21,000; open to significant further progress in handicaps for new stable. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Second in a point and his bumper run wasn't devoid of promise; however, has stopped quickly in two maiden hurdles, with and without a tongue-tie. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
In excellent form this season, winning three times on good ground (2m4f-2m7f; once here); last month's clear second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was another career best but he's 5lb higher today and the forecast rain is a likely negative; goes beyond about 3m for first time; tongue-tie added. |

2nd 8 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Has done well since arriving from Ireland and was delivered late to win handicaps at Hexham (extended 2m7f), Cartmel (2m6f) and here on Friday (2m4f) when he sat last for a long way but won easily in the end; huge chance if turned out quickly with a penalty. |
9/2 |

1st 5 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; thriving for Tristan Davidson and bids for a hat-trick following handicap wins at Hexham (2m7f) and Cartmel (2m6f) last month, getting up late each time; up another 5lb but this likeable sort is a player once more. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Hasn't had all that much racing for an 8yo and he's a four-time winner over hurdles; not far off his best when runner-up in a small field over 2m4f at Worcester and he needs further than that ideally; player. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
4-14 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in September; absent since a lesser effort over 2m7f in October, though, and might not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 |
11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3-14 over hurdles, having battled well to beat two next-time-out winners at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) last month; effectively 7lb higher here if Freddie Keighley's reduced claim is considered; still enters calculations. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from long absence with two respectable runs this spring (2m4f/2m7f); has a point to prove after a lesser effort last month but will be favoured by the forecast rain here and is Olly Murphy's only runner on the card; worth a second look. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Has had only four races for Olly Murphy, the last two after a long absence; held his own in a 2m7f Worcester handicap last month won by the progressive Sunray Shadow who contests the previous race; fair shout off just 1lb higher. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Took a step forward on just his second run for Olly Murphy when landing 3m1f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in October 2024; went without his usual cheekpieces after 17 months off when a never-dangerous sixth in 2m4f Hexham handicap last month; can strip sharper now with headgear refitted. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up at Worcester before another disappointing run over fences (0-3); no surprise to see him back hurdling but the first-time visor is a grey area; others perhaps safer. |
9/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Two hurdle wins in 2025, at about 3m on good and soft, and his recent second here was a return to form; has lower chase mark but hard to assess back over fences, having weakened on chase debut then unseated rider three out at Ludlow (still led sole remaining rival) that month; shade to prove. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
In career-best form when winning twice over today's trip in October but out of sorts this season; cheekpieces didn't help much at Uttoxeter six weeks ago; blinkers are tried here; revival needed. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Trip/ground is ideal but that was also the case when he finished tailed off here 19 days ago after wind surgery; that was his third underwhelming run on the bounce; tongue-tie tried last time is joined by cheekpieces. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

Won three 2m7f handicaps (all on good) in early part of last season, two over C&D; has failed to fire in two runs after a break but could be dangerous if all the better for a wind operation and new tongue-tie. |

Won Listed handicap at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding to soft) for Willie Mullins last November, but ended last season with some below-par efforts and was well beaten on both starts for new stable this summer (2m1f/2m7f). |
