28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Six hurdle wins, including two over 2m4f here; yet to score over fences, but in the frame on all three starts this season, last time (July) finishing runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good); a possible. |

2nd 1 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle winner who is rated 12lb lower over fences and he rediscovered some form when beaten 2l at Cartmel three weeks ago (2m5f, good); should be bang there if repeating that effort. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three on the bounce over hurdles in February (2m-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but has lost his form in the blink of an eye and finished last on his recent return to chasing (0-8). |

Lightly raced in recent seasons and hasn't shown his best form since returning from a long break this term; 5lb out of the handicap; others appeal more. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Flat/hurdle winner; hasn't threatened in two runs since returning from a long absence and he's 3lb out of the weights. |

7th 4 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Versatile 7yo who gave fairly good account when fifth in 1m2f handicap here last month, after a 556-day absence; that run might have brought him on but this is his first 7f start since 2022. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won four-runner race by 19l at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) in February and showed better form when second in competitive races on final two starts last season (2m, good to soft/good); could still be on a good mark after latest 2lb nudge; must be considered. |

2nd 6 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Can be hit and miss in the jumping department but his profile over fences is generally progressive and he backed up February's Sedgefield romp with good second in fairly valuable series final at Carlisle (also 2m, good to soft) one month ago; respected. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Can make mistakes but not last time at Sedgefield when beating three rivals with ease (2m, good to soft); that race rather fell apart and he's up 7lb; could be vulnerable. |

29th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Held on gamely to win heavy-ground maiden at Carlisle (2m1f) in February but was soundly beaten in both handicaps since, the latter his seasonal/chase debut last month; reverts to hurdling with a point to prove. |

11st 9lb |
Hasn't kicked on since winning a novice hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good) in December 2023 but he showed spark in a first-time visor (retained) in a handicap at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last month, before fading, and is not written off now back down in trip. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Big improver who won five consecutive good-ground chases in May/June, the latest over C&D; slightly disappointing when only fifth behind Sean Og here last month and will probably have slower ground to contend with today but further progress is not yet out of the question. |
5/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Major improver who made it 5-7 over fences when completing a five-timer over C&D (good) three weeks ago; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and this tough 7yo could continue on the upgrade; big player. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |

The tongue-tie has made a difference and he completed a Hexham four-timer five days ago (2m4f, good); only two others got round but he's on a roll and might be well in with a penalty. |

Always behind when a big-priced outsider for recent Stratford handicap and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts; 1lb wrong here; cheekpieces refitted; difficult to enthuse over. |

0-22 when trained in Ireland (raced mainly on the Flat), and soundly beaten on both starts since reverted to hurdling for new stable; has lowly mark for this handicap hurdle debut but still makes only limited appeal. |
