18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Had been in good form before opening account at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month, his ninth start over hurdles; 5lb rise demands a bit more from him here but he ought to make his presence felt. |

12st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles but runner-up twice over C&D on fast ground since returning from a break in May; won't mind if there's rain about and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
7lb higher than for 9l win in a five-runner Uttoxeter handicap in June (2m, good), after which he was second on chase debut (long odds-on off same mark as for that win); stopped quickly and pulled up back over hurdles in July; bit to prove now but hard to rule out. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Readily won over C&D in June on his second start for the stable and, switched to fences, ran well when runner-up off the same mark just eight days later; 7lb higher now but it remains early days for this stable and in handicaps and he could have more to offer. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2024 (2m5f/2m4f) but seemed badly to lose his way in spring 2025 and returned from 411-day absence with another poor run this month; drops back in trip with a lot to prove. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Has two wins over hurdles but was below his best in his last three starts, in 2025, and is still higher than his last winning mark; returns from a 411-day absence and may need to come down in the weights. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Justified good support when off the mark over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in May and, after a solid second next time, doubled his tally over 2m4f here last time despite meeting interference; up 6lb and comes back in trip but he's open to further progress and this looks a good opportunity. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Off the mark on his fifth attempt over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in May and made the winner pull out all the stops when second over C&D (good) last month; in decent nick at present and looks sure to give a good account. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not at best when well-held third at Market Rasen this month but won off 2lb lower at Hexham (1m7f, good) in the spring and is also suited by this track; seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |

3rd 4 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Now in his fourth stable, for which he won a 2m handicap chase at Hexham in June; beaten 8l next time at Cartmel and he has form there; mark just okay but couldn't rule out as this isn't a strong race. |

Advanced his form when gaining a first win at Stratford (2m) in June and easily doubled his tally in four-runner novice (2m1f) at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; must enter calculations back in handicap company. |

On a good mark and best run for a while when a rallying 2l third behind Getaway Jewel in another qualifier for this series at Worcester (good) latest; player. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Now 1lb lower than when winning at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last summer but has not been at his best this season, and was behind Getaway Jewel when fourth at Cartmel last month; needs to up his game. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended last year with a brave win at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) but he's not gone on from that in two runs this summer; needs to raise his game but he's now only 1lb higher than for his last success and his first two chase wins were over C&D (good). |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Market Rasen regular, with three wins, two of those in a visor over fences (2m1f); just did enough to prevail at Catterick (2m; from 2lb lower) in December and looked in need of the comeback run at Cartmel (weakened quickly) 16 days ago; don't discount. |

10st 9lb |
A number of defeats at short prices over hurdles and fences in the first half of 2025; reappeared after a wind operation last week when he didn't get the clearest of runs on the AW; could have a part to play. |

Absent since a string of defeats at short prices over hurdles and fences in the first half of last year (undergone wind surgery); not run on the Flat since 2022 and is entitled to need this; watch the market. |
