1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
A three-time chase winner (at up to 3m2f) last season; pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase here in May, so has it to prove on his first run in this sphere since April 2024. |

Ran well in defeat behind a progressive mare at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in May but her form has dipped in the meantime and she's now 0-13 over hurdles. |

Fell heavily mid-race on latest outing and now 0-11 over hurdles but was second to a big improver at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) two starts ago and is a contender if judged on that performance. |

16th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Posted two fair thirds this autumn (2m7f/3m, good to soft/good) but needs something extra today and she was only sixth at Hereford last time. |

21st Nov 2023 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |

Two wins over hurdles at Worcester for previous yard; 0-5 for current stable but ran respectably in C&D event (good) most recently, finishing third, and remains on a workable mark; one to consider. |

Won back-to-back 2m7f handicaps at Worcester last year when good ground seemed to suit her; only third there on good to soft last time and conditions could be similar here. |

2m winner in this sphere; stayer on the Flat; not disgraced over C&D (good) returned to hurdles but his effort rather petered out after pulling hard; chance partly depends on whether he settles better. |

Returned from eight-month break in excellent form three weeks ago, winning comfortably by 10l over C&D (good); 8lb higher in higher-grade race today but still considered. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Won this two years ago after a 157-day absence when 3lb lower and has won two more since; she wasn't in great form when last seen but could easily stage a revival. |

May not have achieved much when beating three rivals at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time blinkers) in September and has been well held in both starts since; 3lb drop not enough to tempt. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Arrested decline when third in first-time blinkers at Perth (3m, good) last month but this 12yo remains without a win since 2023 and it's hard to tell whether the new headgear will continue to have a positive effect. |
11/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Second of four on stable debut here last May (3m2f, good); hasn't run quite as well since but is now on a career-low mark; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Returned from layoff with quite encouraging C&D fourth (albeit well held in the end) on soft ground last month but is getting long in the tooth and today's faster ground is probably not in his favour; headgear refitted. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Five-time hurdle winner, most recently off today's mark at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) in November; has become inconsistent, though, and dropped out quite tamely after making the running at Fontwell in May. |
10/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by good) in November but has become inconsistent and was pulled up on latest outing seven weeks ago; not easy to predict. |
8/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
5-27 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (extended 3m1f, good to soft; 2lb higher today) in November; has a shout on that showing but there have been backward steps in his two starts since. |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Threatened off higher marks as a hurdler but she remains a maiden and has been tailed off in two runs since returning from a break; looks worth taking on now sent over fences for the first time. |

6th Nov 2023 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |

Winning pointer; best run over fences when close third at Perth two runs back (3m, good); this is a belated first run over hurdles but clearly on a fair mark and his new trainer is doing well; interesting. |

13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won back-to-back here (3m) in August 2023; 0-10 since and well beaten over 2m when last in action in January; is very lowly weighted if factoring in the 10lb claim of regular rider Roisin Leech. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Returned from long absence with fairly good third in selling handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in September but ended last year with a poor run over 3m and the slow ground here is probably not ideal. |

Dual 3m hurdle winner in summer 2023; hasn't run too badly in 2m2f/2m4f handicaps following a long absence but being 8lb out of the weights is not ideal. |

Wants better ground than when second at Sandown (2m, soft), so that was a fair run over a trip too short for all that the race fell apart at the seams; back off her correct mark here and returned to 3m, she's one to consider. |
