24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Regressive 9yo who has modest strike-rate in recent years and made a low-key reappearance this month (2m4f); tries a new trip here; not the percentage call. |

Without a win since September 2024 and needs to be at full strength to win this back from a break. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
No win from 14 races, all over hurdles in Ireland for Ross O'Sullivan; 800-day absence before beaten over 30l in his three starts this spring; tongue tied first time on this debut for new connections and, although best efforts at up to 2m1f, could be interesting if strong in the market. |

10st 11lb |
Winless from 14 but went close on several occasions in 2023; beaten 34l in both starts since returning from 800-day absence; good ground and addition of blinkers need to transform him. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
The last of his four hurdle wins was in late 2023; well beaten in this discipline before pulling up on last week's belated return to fences. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Had lots of racing over hurdles and without a win since late 2023; comfortably beaten in two runs after a break and has steered clear of fences since trying them once before over two years ago (tailed off). |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Twice placed in 2m4f hurdle races here last summer (good) but ended last year's campaign on a low, achieving little on October's chasing debut; can't be certain he will hit the ground running in 2026. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Third in a handicap hurdle here in May 2025; however, well beaten in two other handicaps on either side of a brief but successful stint in points; it's hard to make a compelling case but Sean Bowen has been booked. |
5/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-10 and came in a remote fourth of five in 2m2f handicap hurdle at Exeter in October; in winning form in points last month though so she's not totally out of things. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed little in three hurdle runs last year but returned from a break with a more encouraging effort when fifth on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good) recently; needs another step forward but has place claims. |
20/1 |
|
5th 11 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three maiden hurdles last August/September and makes handicap debut after a 255-day absence; 2lb wrong; of interest only if attracting market support. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten when 66-1 for handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) in February but remains unexposed and could plausibly be seen in a much better light on this forecast quicker surface. |
25/1 |
|
9th 11 |
19th Feb 2026 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
No worthwhile form on the Flat or hurdling; makes handicap debut from 6lb out of the weights and Joseph Stevenson has claimed 7lb in his three previous races. |
33/1 |
Betting Forcast
12/1 Bannister, 11/2 Bound For Glory, 7/2 Crafty Gael, 7/1 Royal Rhythm, 20/1 Boskill Borden, 9/2 Ghost Jury, 13/2 Brooklyn Lullaby, 50/1 Cosmic Spirit
Non-runners
Usyk, Onehundredneighty
Verdict
A few of those warrant consideration. Crafty Gael could quite plausibly build upon last month’s encouraging stable debut but the answer might be BROOKLYN LULLABY, who bumped into a progressive rival at Stratford in June and remains lightly raced. Handicap debutant Bound For Glory is next on the list, while this move back up to trip ought to suit Onehundredneighty on his second start for Ben Pauling.[Chris Wilson]
