16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Made it four wins from his five starts for this yard when scoring by 10l at Perth (2m, good) in July last time; on that evidence an 8lb rise may not be enough to stop him, provided he resumes where he left off following a two-month break. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All four wins have been at Hexham and it was never in much doubt there three weeks ago (1m7f, good); hard to grumble with the 8lb rise but now has to continue his good work on a very different track, and he was a lot lower in the weights when second to Garde Des Champs in this 12 months ago. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Smart bumper performer but wasn't as good over hurdles and hasn't reached the same heights on the Flat either (well beaten on handicap debut at York last time). |

8th 9 (7) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Grade 2 bumper in 2023 and he's a useful hurdler; some respectable efforts switched to the Flat this year (1m3f/1m1f) and he could take a sizeable step forward now up in trip on his Flat handicap debut; certainly has potential off this mark given his hurdling ability; upset in stalls and withdrawn from Flat handicap last time (11-4 at the time); a hood is added. |

2-19 over hurdles; still 7lb above his last winning mark; tends to race freely and his chance would be enhanced if the race is run at a strong pace. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Won two of his first three starts (good to firm and good) this time last year for new yard, including over C&D; not obviously ahead of his mark since but it was a fair effort back here (hood discarded) 16 days ago and he's unlikely to be far away. |

Two Flat wins at 1m3f/1m6f in 2023; missed most of 2024 and has needed two recent runs; open to improvement in his second handicap with Brian Hughes replacing a 10lb claimer; cheekpieces added latest, now discarded. |

Two-time Flat winner who has been an encouraging third on his two hurdle starts a year apart, the latest at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in December; open to improvement in this code and is in with a chance on handicap hurdle debut; cheekpieces return (no positive impact on the Flat). |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to win by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has performed fairly well on all three outings since (2m-2m1f); worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to score by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has also performed well on both subsequent outings (once over C&D); refitted cheekpieces are the headgear of choice today; probably won't be far away. |

Below form sole start here, when upped to 2m last September on latest Flat outing (yard debut); 80-1 win on handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December, followed by two respectable efforts but he was soundly beaten on latest start; others are a bit more persuasive. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |

Dual C&D winner (good/soft) at around this time last year but generally disappointing in the meantime; just a respectable fifth here (2m4f, good) 17 days ago and needs to up her game. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Generally disappointing since her two 3m course wins at around this time last year; hinted at possible return to form before last-flight fall here (3m) in July but needs to build on that performance today and the drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

16th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Signs of ability in bumpers; poor form over hurdles and 7f likely to be sharp enough now her attentions are switched to the Flat. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |

Hasn't shown much among her three hurdle starts but she has potential off this lowly opening mark in view of her placed form in bumpers towards the end of 2022; no surprise if she's in the shake-up. |

Verdict
This looks a good opportunity for Grade 2 bumper winner FLORIDA DREAMS to get off the mark over hurdles. Better could have been expected on his hurdle debut at Ayr four weeks ago but he still showed enough to suggest he’ll be tough to beat in today’s company. Perhaps point-to-point runner-up Jet Patrol will be best of the rest on his hurdle debut, while others who may run well include Wholeofthemoon and hurdling newcomers Muzaffar and Spit Spot.[Ben Hutton]
