26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Five wins on a variety of conditions, taking his form to a new level when winning the Class 3 Cartmel Cup (2m1f, good; 8-1) four weeks ago; competes from 5lb higher (up 21lb since February) but has shown (when fourth) that he can handle this sharp track. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive for new stable since the autumn, collecting four wins (2m-2m1f, good-heavy) along the way; below form when tried over 2m5f last week (no headgear) but was fourth in last month's Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces; refitted today) and is now 2lb lower. |

Interesting he was still staying on into fourth (about 23l ahead of Letterston Lily) at the end of a generously run Summer Hurdle last time, though remains untried beyond a sharp 2m4f; 7lb higher mark than for June's easy 2m1f win here leaves him with almost nothing in hand. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 1m4f/1m2f handicaps here in April, latterly under Harry Vigors off 2lb lower; then struggled at York's Dante meeting; back from a break with a second over hurdles last month; might just be vulnerable against rivals with lower mileage. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Dual C&D winner (good/soft); returned to form with two Flat wins in April, but was soundly beaten when back over hurdles here in June and contests a much stronger race today. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Has been running on the Flat, winning 1m4f/1m2f handicaps before a respectable effort in a competitive race at York; capable hurdler with winning form here and James Murray takes off a useful 7lb. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Quirky customer who sometimes races far too freely, but got career back on track with two come-from-behind wins (both 2m, good; soft also suits) under Beau Morgan this spring; probably still on a good mark if all goes to plan. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March but a return to very patient tactics paid dividends at Bangor (2m, good) last month, where he cut through the field to cause a 33-1 surprise; his tendency to race too freely remains a concern but a recent 7lb rise ought to be manageable. |

Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March; on a tempting mark now but his tendency to race far too freely remains a worry, and others are much less risky. |

11st 9lb |
Posted career-best performance when winning at Cartmel (2m1f) in May and also ran well when fourth over that C&D (again on good) last month; stays 2m4f pretty well but probably needs to find hidden reserves on this first venture beyond that trip. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Built upon pleasing stable debut when coming from off the pace for C&D (good) success under Leah Noreci in May, but wasn't quite in same form here last month and the forecast rain is another negative. |

10st 12lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who readily won Worcester maiden last month and ran well in defeat on subsequent handicap debut at Uttoxeter (also 2m); up in grade here and unraced on ground other than good, but should have more to offer. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Better known as a chaser now and has not really been firing on all cylinders for new stable here this season (three runs); reverts to hurdling on a good mark but still has something to prove. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |

Won twice over hurdles and once over fences for Dan Skelton; wasn't beaten far when third of three on stable debut here (2m1f, good) in May but he was well held in another small-field event over C&D last time; still lightly raced over fences but he needs to step up again after that last run; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Close third in consecutive C&D (good) races in June/July, latterly when two short heads behind Mojo Eho, and subsequent defeat in competitive Class 3 race at Cartmel can be overlooked; ought to make his presence felt. |

7th 14 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Close third at Worcester (2m, good) on both starts since returned to hurdling in June; not yet fully exposed over hurdles, but moves up from Class 5 today and the forecast rain may not be in his favour. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

A fair 1m2f scorer on the Flat who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m Stratford handicap last June; back from ten months off with a promising third of eight over C&D two weeks ago, finishing well having suffered a poor run from two out; very much one to consider. |

11st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat in France in his younger days; well beaten on last month's handicap hurdle debut for John Butler but caused 33-1 surprise for new trainer at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) a week ago and will be hard to beat under 7lb penalty if in similar form again. |

Placed on first two stable starts (2m1f/2m3f; both in February) but returned from break with two down-the-field runs in blinkers last month (2m/2m1f); goes beyond about 2m3f and tries cheekpieces for the first time. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |

Signed off for Micky Hammond with win at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November and was placed on both starts for new stable in February (2m1f/2m3f, good to soft); returns from 172-day break on career-high mark but is suited by this C&D and should be fine on the forecast good ground; cheekpieces (worn once on the Flat in 2023) are refitted; contender if fully tuned up. |

10st 10lb |
Last year's winner (from 14lb lower); went clear from the last to score at Haydock (2m Class 3, good to soft; from a similar mark) last December; more miss than hit (0-5) since, though, weakening quickly (pulled up) in the Cartmel Cup latest; risky proposition currently. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |
20/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form under both codes last year included a 1m4f course win; quiet return to jumping at Cartmel two weeks ago but that was after a lengthy break and he's on better Flat mark than he is over hurdles. |
