20th May 2024 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles and absent since a disappointing run in December 2022, but was runner-up on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and is now 6lb lower; will be dangerous if ready to roll. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Took form to new level when scoring by 10l over C&D (good to soft) in March but his two hurdle runs in May were disappointing and, following a wind op, he was soundly beaten on the Flat 12 days ago; has a point to prove. |
5/1 |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
50-1 winner of this race last year off 4lb lower; following 228 days off; 10l winner over hurdles this March, followed by two modest shows in May; had wind operation (his second) in July and needs a second look. |
14/1 |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and career-best form to win by 10l at Fontwell two runs ago (2m5f, good to soft); went up 8lb for that and was back down to earth on his return visit when beaten 20l; hard to know entirely what to expect from him. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up when 40-1 for handicap debut in February but, having changed hands for £4,000 during the summer (was with Karen Jewell), it will be interesting to see if the betting market predicts improvement on this stable debut; hood removed after one use. |

6th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Kept on for third in modest Fontwell maiden (2m1f, heavy) on hurdling debut last March but returned from break with two dispiriting runs in December (2m/2m3f) and has questions to answer on handicap debut. |

Tailed off in a bumper and suffered the same fate on her switch to hurdling here last month. |

Verdict
Light Em Up Nigel has a fighting chance if judged on his best form but we haven’t seen him since a disappointing run on Boxing Day 2022 and by far the most obvious answer is YALLA HIBIBI, who looked very unlucky not to win a stronger maiden hurdle than this at Hereford last month, having been badly hampered by a loose horse between the final two flights.[Chris Wilson]
