18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Progressed well this summer, winning four of seven starts, including a comfortable defeat of It's A Breeze over C&D in August; improved again in defeat when upped to 3m and finishing a 4l second to another progressive type at Bangor two weeks ago; likely to be involved but further improvement is needed off a 3lb higher mark. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Fast-improving 6yo who competed a hat-trick when easily beating three rivals at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) eight days ago; carries 7lb penalty in higher-grade race here but should cope if the ground ends up good to soft (unraced on slower) and is 3lb ahead of the handicapper. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Cut little ice over hurdles last season, but he's been progressive over fences this summer and made it three wins from his last four starts when scoring at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and could be a major force again. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Came good over fences with back-to-back C&D wins in July but was firmly put in his place when runner-up to Thickthorn Tom here in August; faces a stiff task from 8lb out of the weights. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Failed to complete in two of his first three chase starts but he's really got his act together with comfortable wins over C&D (good to firm) in his last two runs; up another 8lb but that was an emphatic success last time and he's open to more progress; key player. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
0-9 as a hurdler but only his fourth run over fences when making light work of The Gypsy Davey over C&D (add 23yds) six days ago; penalised accordingly but Paddy Hanlon's claim takes care of 5lb of that. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won a match race on stable debut in May and put a poor performance behind him when respectable third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft; first run after wind op) in August; not one to rely upon heavily but has possibilities if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |

3rd 1 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Had a spell in the doldrums for previous yard, so was well treated on debut for this one at Hereford (2m5f, good) in May when having a match in safe keeping from a fair way out; on similar mark here but he was tailed off at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month and needs to bounce back after another wind operation. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Had a spell in the doldrums for previous yard, so was well treated on debut for this one at Hereford (2m5f, good) in May when having a match in safe keeping from a fair way out; that form amounted to little (second well below best then and since) but this one has gone back up just 2lb and should stay this first attempt beyond 2m5f under rules. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Three hurdle wins (Hereford and twice at Newton Abbot); she's still finding her way over fences, having unseated on Stratford debut and made a respiratory noise at Newton Abbot; improved fourth (beaten over 12l) at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago, however; it's likely she'll sit handy dropped back to 2m. |
