13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has done well since joining Nick Scholfield, making it three wins in last four starts in a small field at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); up another 4lb but he's the safest option here. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
He's produced a good body of work since joining Nick Scholfield, including a 3l defeat of Depalma over 3m at Bangor earlier this month; he's 14lb higher than that day but latest narrow defeat at Kelso was no backward step (3lb lower; 2m5f, good to firm); stays this far. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made all by 3l at Bangor (3m, good) on September 4 and won easily from the front against two rivals at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last week; under a penalty he's just 4lb higher than last time; could be tough to beat. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo; dual point winner who has not been with Dan Skelton for long, and his maiden hurdle win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month is split by two runner-up efforts over fences; turned over at 4-6 in a three-runner race last time but he looked stretched over 3m2f and he's still unexposed in this sphere; big player back in trip. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won two points in Ireland; beaten 3l by Limerick Leader on yard debut at Bangor (3m, good) but he's now 13lb better off with the winner and has since won a maiden hurdle here, albeit narrowly; interesting on that Bangor form. |
10/11 |
|
1st 2 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair maiden hurdler at 2m-2m4f and a dual Irish point winner who was in good form in that sphere in the spring; made a pleasing start for Dan Skelton when a 3l second to a subsequent winner in a handicap chase at Bangor (3m, good) two weeks ago; leading contender back in maiden company over hurdles. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
1-11 over hurdles in Ireland; 0-8 over fences but made a promising start for this stable when a staying-on third at Bangor (3m, good) two weeks ago; this step back up in trip could help and he's one to consider. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Five-time chase winner who bumped into a revitalised opponent when second in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and has solid claims if the ground is no worse than good to soft. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Good second over C&D (good) last September and ran pretty well in fourth over C&D (good) four weeks ago, when she was hampered three out on her second start back from a break; wears first-time cheekpieces and could get closer to the target this afternoon. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has only finished out of the first two twice in 11 runs over fences; should be sharper for her second at Stratford (2m7f, good) last month, following an eight-month absence, and holds place claims at least. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Chased home progressive rival at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in June, after a layoff, and has now made the frame over that trip in all three chases; will be suited by the forecast rain and could have untapped potential over 3m. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Only won a Sedgefield maiden in nine races over hurdles; won his only point and has finished third on both starts over fences; returns from seven-month break and not out of this. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Six-time winning chaser who will strip fitter for his first run in 554 days, when last of six finishers at Bangor (3m, good) last month; sports first-time tongue-tie and blinkers replace cheekpieces; may need another run or two before coming under consideration. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has pretty good 6-16 strike-rate over fences but all those wins (and his hurdle win) were gained on right-handed tracks and this is his first appearance since February 2025; entitled to benefit from this outing. |
9/1 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Inconsistent but she was reportedly unsuited by the return to fences when pulled up at Bangor recently and prior to that she went close over hurdles in a big field at Worcester (2m7f, good); strong claims if she's back on song now returned to hurdles. |
9/4 |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made underwhelming chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July but looked suited by step up in trip when close second over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; big player if first-time cheekpieces help her transfer that form to fences. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Can front-run; did well in May-July 2025; although well beaten, latest start (chase debut) was at least a step back in that direction; probably needs overall improvement stepping up from about 2m4f. |
