25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
0-9 over hurdles but consistent since switched to handicaps, and created good impressive when drawing clear to win easily here (2m4f, good) on last month's chasing debut; hiked up 9lb for that but still unexposed over staying trips; makes obvious appeal. |
7/4 |

1st 8 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten nine times over hurdles but runner-up in four of those, including last time here over 2m4f in this new headgear combination; 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but he should make a chaser. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-8 over hurdles but made the frame on all three starts since switched to handicaps, most recently at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f; just in front of Estacas) in June with a tongue-tie added; looked hard work there and cheekpieces are now tried, but Sean Bowen returns and he's a leading contender. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
This front-runner didn't have it all his own way in a qualifier for this last month and, off this career-high mark, he inherited second place (beaten 8l by the winner); could be vulnerable again, though should run well provided he takes to the new visor (replacing cheekpieces). |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner who was granted an easy lead last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) and made no mistake by 3l; hard to grumble with the 3lb rise and if getting into a rhythm he should put up another bold show. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven chase wins, four under Gavin Sheehan; didn't get to the front at Southwell (2m, good) last month and never threatened the winner but shaped as though still in form; remains 7lb higher than for his latest win but could prove hard to catch if allowed an easy lead. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

0-17 under rules and yet to convince in four runs over fences; on the plus side his handicap mark continues to drop but he doesn't look ready to win. |

3rd 10 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

0-8 over hurdles and 0-3 as a chaser; well behind At The Oche at Uttoxeter last time when the new cheekpieces made little difference. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in February but has mixed record since; lacklustre when well-beaten when last of three at Fontwell (2m5f, good; cheekpieces removed) last month; needs to be in a much better mood here. |

3rd 2 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |

Record of 2-17 over fences; he's capable and not badly handicapped, but his profile is very up and down; finished tailed off last time at Worcester. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Capable chaser on his day having won two of his 16 races in this discipline but he's very up and down; others are safer. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Regressive 9yo who was soundly beaten on both starts this summer (2m6f hurdle/2m4f chase) and is not yet proven over this far; due to be dropped 4lb; needs to turn a corner. |
25/1 |

5th 2 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Third over fences at Bangor on May reappearance (2m1f, good) but that mini revival was still well short of his peak efforts in 2025 and he ran no race back over hurdles at Cartmel (2m6f); unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Well below best during five-race campaign last season but took step back in right direction when third over fences at Bangor (2m1f, good) two months ago; remains on good mark for this hurdle return and could plausibly be better suited by this sort of trip nowadays; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

All four chase wins came around 2m when trained by Dan Skelton; ran well on yard debut in December but little to show for his eight subsequent runs; has dropped to a dangerous mark, however. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three places and 59l ahead of Betty's Tiara over C&D last week (good), though still well held himself and simply isn't coming very close at present to recording a first win beyond 2m1f; 5lb badly in compared to future mark. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran with five wins over fences; inconsistent nowadays but returned to winning ways at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July off 6lb lower; beaten 48l back there last time and he may find this too competitive. |

7th 7 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

He was off his last winning mark when always prominent and doing it readily over C&D last time; should be a factor off 6lb higher. |

1st 3 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't always needed as many as two runs back to hit his straps, so arguably has a bit to prove now having posted only well-beaten thirds on his two starts this summer; has returned to his last winning mark, though. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Fairly treated on some of his form but was very disappointing when dropped into a Class 4 here last time and his previous run was no better. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Fairly treated and some fair efforts at 2m4f/2m5f before struggling back over 2m in a Class 2; that's readily forgiven and he'll probably run well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |

Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a maiden hurdle and competitive in handicaps for former yard; after £22,000 sale and wind surgery, he made a winning chase debut at Uttoxeter in July (solid form for the level); made mistakes but might still have finished second had he not been brought down last time; every chance on this return to hurdling; fine from 2m to 3m. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Maiden hurdle winner and competitive in handicaps for his previous yard, which he left for £22,000 and then underwent wind surgery; built for fences so no great surprise to see him justify favouritism at Uttoxter four weeks ago (2m4f, good); beat an in-form horse and would have done so more easily but for one notable mistake; big chance despite being raised 9lb. |
2/1 |

1st 7 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won a maiden hurdle (2m, good) last year and was runner-up in all his three handicaps (1m7f-3m) in 2026; has joined the Skeltons for £22,000 and had wind surgery; now goes over fences and he has the scope and pedigree for it; Harry Skelton's chosen one from three stable runners. |

Bumper and dual hurdle winner; second to a Skelton horse on his chase debut and last run here over 2m7f wasn't too bad as the front-runners never came back; each-way claims. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and dual hurdle winner; made a promising start over fences when runner-up over C&D (good) in May; may have had his stamina stretched when last of four at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month and may warrant another chance. |
7/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Bumper and two-time novice hurdle winner who built on a solid sequence of placed form in staying handicap hurdles when switched to fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago, jumping soundly and finishing second to a Dan Skelton-trained favourite; main concern is the forecast rain, as he has been confined to good ground. |
