19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Arrested decline when third over C&D (good) on last month's hurdle return and has possibilities if in the right mood again but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
7/1 |

3rd 8 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
The last of his four hurdle wins was in late 2023; well beaten in this discipline before pulling up on last week's belated return to fences. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won twice over fences within a week last December; some minor honours since and edging back down the weights for this first hurdle race since February 2025 but trying this longer trip on penultimate start resulted in his worst recent performance; 10lb claimer is recruited. |
16/1 |

3rd 3 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice over fences within a week last December but has essentially struggled off his new mark and still 6lb higher than for those two wins; still commands some respect in this weak a race. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Generally disappointing in handicaps since winning 2m maiden a year ago and steps up in trip off a career-low mark; worth a look in the betting. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
0-14 over hurdles in Ireland but ran well in some big fields last year; campaigned mainly at about 3m but interesting to see what Chris Gordon can do with him; changed hands for £9,500; market could be informative. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
No match for comfortable winner when second of five on stable/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; reportedly made respiratory noise) in June but that was his first run for 462 days and he now has a tongue-tie fitted; improvement possible. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won on the Flat for Hughie Morrison in 2024 but was soundly beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles for Sheila Lewis in 2024-25 season; makes stable/handicap hurdle debut after 462-day absence; could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Point runner-up who is only five and it's still very early days over fences; however, he's been soundly beaten on both outings in this sphere and needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Maiden who has form figures of 0FP706 over hurdles and was a remote fifth at a big prices on his recent chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good); has a lot to prove and he needs a tongue-tie to make a big difference. |
33/1 |
