15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back-to-back hurdle wins in May (2m-extended 2m2f) on good or quicker ground, but was most disappointing when a remote third of three on handicap debut at Stratford last month; that effort was too bad to be true and he's not ruled out if bouncing back. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful on the Flat in 2024 and a dual hurdle winner last month, latterly here (2m2f, good to firm); ought to make a bold bid from the front on this handicap hurdle debut. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Hard-fought win back over hurdles at Hexham (2m) before a 10l defeat returned to fences; no great significance in the return of cheekpieces (blinkered last two races) but entitled to have some say. |
14/1 |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race off today's mark a year ago (good; first-time blinkers) and reverts to chasing after hard-fought hurdle win here (2m, good; refitted blinkers) a fortnight ago; obvious contender. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Well beaten on last month's chasing debut but quickly got back in the groove on return to hurdling last week, winning readily by 7l at Stratford (2m2f, good; second run in cheekpieces); avoids a penalty and has obvious claims. |

1st 3 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Well beaten on last month's chasing debut (first-time cheekpieces) but ran well on consecutive hurdling starts beforehand, more notably when clear second at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) on first occasion; has tongue-tie added for this return to hurdling; dangerous if quickly back in the groove. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only win in 12 hurdle starts was a maiden; likes to crack on with things and probably went off a bit too hot when a well-held fourth at Cartmel (2m1f; after 99 days off); has another front-runner to deal with in Hello Sweety, but the ability is there to win off this mark. |
8/1 |

4th 4 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Only 1-11 over hurdles and the win came in a maiden; however, this mark shouldn't be beyond her and she was quite free after a break when beaten 13l into third at Sedgefield (2m1f, good); has form here. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Resurgent 10yo who led close home over C&D (good) last month and has now won three of his last four; probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 5lb rise but must be considered in current mood. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
The booking of Patrick Mullins was a likely factor in him going off 6-4f last time at Hexham where he raced freely and didn't last home over 2m4f; had made steady progress for this yard and, back over shorter with Joshua Thompson taking off 5lb, he should be involved. |

3rd 1 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Steady progress since joining this trainer, resuming winning ways over 2m here (good; 7-2, with Malangen third) latest; raised 7lb since, and tackles 2m4f for the first time; noteworthy that Patrick Mullins travels over from Ireland to ride. |
