26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Tenth-time lucky over hurdles, winning at Newton Abbot (2m1f novices' handicap; 11-8 favourite) recently; slightly more required from this 5lb higher mark but he's consistent enough, so should give a good account. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Three-time AW winner who is yet to score in nine attempts over hurdles, but was placed on his last two starts in this sphere before a below-par Flat run at Redcar last time; this looks a good opportunity to open his hurdles account. |

Not seen on the Flat since narrow AW win over this trip in October but placed twice over hurdles in recent weeks; probably won't be far away. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Winning chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May but progress stalled when beaten 53l at Market Rasen in July; shaped well when runner-up back over hurdles here (2m1f, good to firm) 11 days ago and resumes over fences in a first-time visor; has more to offer in this sphere. |

2nd 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a bright start to his chasing career when scoring at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and bettered that when third off 5lb higher at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; reverts to hurdles after a disappointing run at Market Rasen last time but not out of this if bouncing back. |
13/2 |

7th 4 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but he won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May before a creditable third at Uttoxeter 11 days ago; did well to hang in there after being pestered for the lead last time and he's been an improved performer since switched to fences; respected. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Went close in a 2m1f course handicap in June and ran respectably when third the following month, but she's now 0-14 over hurdles and has a lesser effort to forgive last time; stamina to prove over the furthest she's been, although pedigree offers some hope. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Went close in low-grade C&D (good) handicap in June and didn't run badly when third of five over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but is 0-13 over hurdles now and faces tough task at these weights. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
12-race maiden over hurdles but has some solid placed form, most recently when a neck second over C&D in June (Linden Line 1l back in third); disappointed next time and was comfortably held in a C&D maiden under James Robottom last time, but she's a major threat if returning to her best. |

11st 4lb |
0-15 but went close when third over C&D in June and his follow-up effort was respectable; disappointed back here over 2m3f last month but could play a part if returning to his earlier form. |
13/2 |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-14; close third over 2m1f here in June and wasn't beaten that far on his return visit; could be a factor. |

5th 8 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
0-13 over hurdles but bounced back from a poor run when close third of six over C&D (good) 11 days ago and remains on a good mark; no surprise if he's on the premises again. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Hasn't beaten a rival on the Flat this year and was well held in three hurdle runs before pulling up on handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; new cheekpieces and tongue-tie combination needs to spark a revival. |
25/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't beaten a rival on the Flat this year since switching stables and has been well held in three hurdle starts, although he wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine here (2m) in May; moves up in trip for handicap hurdle debut with something to prove. |
33/1 |

7th 1 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
7f win for Ed Walker as a 2yo; modest form on Flat and over hurdles for new yard this year; Royal Ascot was fanciful latest and although this is more realistic, others still bring more compelling claims. |
