28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four good-ground chase wins this year, the latest from the front at Worcester (2m7f) last month; didn't fire at Perth a fortnight ago, though, and needs to kick on again to overcome this mark. |
13/2 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Made all for clearcut success at Worcester (2m7f,) last month and has now won four good-ground chases this year; should also be suited by this right-handed track but latest 6lb rise might leave him vulnerable. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
At the eighth attempt she comfortably opened her account as a chaser over C&D in early June and then defied a penalty at Fontwell (3m2f, good), though that was harder work in a four-runner race; 3lb higher this time but unlikely to be far away. |
4/1 |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
No match for Ballyfinn when having to settle for second place over C&D (good) last month, but opened her account over fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) on Saturday; shoulders a 7lb penalty and this looks tougher. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from break with 36l defeat in April but last month's Fontwell fourth (3m2f, good) was more encouraging and the cheekpieces (worn for the second of last year's two chase wins) are now back on; won't mind if the ground is quicker than good; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Battled well for narrow win off today's mark at Hereford (3m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) in the autumn but was given break after disappointing effort in December and again ran poorly when reappearing (without cheekpieces) last month; the cheekpieces are missing again here; stablemate Prince Cleni has much stronger claims. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nine-race maiden under rules; his third on chase debut two runs back was quite remote and then tailed off on his return to hurdles; 3lb out of the weights. |
25/1 |

5th 8 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran quite well when third of seven (albeit well held in the end) on recent chasing debut at Hexham (3m, good) but is now 0-9 under all codes; 2lb wrong for this return to hurding; needs to find something extra. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden hurdle winner; 0-12 over fences but placed a good few times but took a backward step last time when beaten 45l at Fontwell (3m2f, good); first-time visor replaces cheekpieces with tongue-tie retained; has a bit to prove. |
12/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won two modest 3m2f chases (one here) last autumn and has performed respectably on both appearances this season (2m5f/3m); has his limitations but is effectively 3lb lower than last time; probably won't be far away. |
5/1 |

5th 13 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won two modest 3m2f chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) and returned from break with encouraging run at Cartmel (2m5f, good) in May but others in this line-up look a bit stronger; 1lb wrong. |
