19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner from 20 attempts over fences; returned to form when second to It's A Breeze here last week where he wasn't unlucky despite some late interference; should run well with a repeat, but can be inconsistent. |
4/1 |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

0-18 under rules and although he has shown bits of form he doesn't appeal giving weight away here. |
10/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden is 0-6 over fences but shaped well when narrowly denied at Kilbeggan in July (2m5f, good); not a bad effort at Tramore last time when an 11.5l fourth of 13 (2m6f, good); not ruled out. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who is 2-4 for new stable this season, the latter win gained in conditional jockeys' race at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) a week ago; did that fairly comfortably by 7l and avoids a penalty here; obvious claims. |
10/11 |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Landed an Irish point in May and got off the mark over rules fences at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in July; made a crucial mistake two out when fourth of eight finishers at Worcester (2m, good) last month; likely player provided he avoids a similar error. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won over hurdles on rules debut in February 2025, but disappointing since switched to chasing in the autumn (six attempts); he was beaten 40l+ over about 2m4f on both outings in March. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-12 over hurdles and, while there have been hints of encouragement off a sliding mark, he hasn't looked like capitalising and now faces a stiff task from out of the weights on chase debut. |

11st 2lb |
1-21 under rules but took a step in the right direction when runner-up at Perth (3m, good) last month; drops back in trip but win record is off-putting. |
5/2 |
