23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has proved unreliable but he resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m) in July and followed up with another 2m handicap win there 30 days ago, overhauling Ocean Heights late on; not taken lightly in his current mood. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways (in a change of headgear) in C&D handicap 17 days ago; he's not always proved the most reliable so needs to back it up now from a 5lb higher mark. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Proven winner who had lost his way but got back on track with a near miss at Worcester (2m, good) 20 days ago; just 2lb higher but the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) cast some doubts. |

Inconsistent but has frame possibilities provided latest effort (ran creditably) is backed up; one of only two runners who already have winning form over fences. |

No better for cheekpieces or this headgear combination in his last three races and he's now 0-15; unconvincing. |

Is 0-14 and he underwent a breathing operation before coming in only tenth of 12 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 22 days ago; visor is reached for now. |

0-11 over hurdles and absent since pulled up in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) last summer; needs subsequent wind op to have made a big difference. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gave good account when close fourth over C&D (good; also suited by soft) in November but was below that form at Taunton last month and is now 0-16 over hurdles; 1lb wrong; others preferred. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Made the frame twice (2m, soft/good) in spring 2024; now returns from a lengthy absence but he'll have possibilities if ready to roll. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Asserted readily on run-in at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday and is now 2-3 for Nick Scholfield; effectively only 6lb higher under 7lb penalty here and won't mind the forecast rain; respected in current mood. |
3/1 |

1st 7 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice for Paddy Butler in the spring of 2024 on soft; made an immediate impact when scoring for the first time since at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) last month on stable debut in returning cheekpieces (retained since); not disgraced when runner-up back there on Saturday and remains in decent form; claims. |
3/1 |

2nd 11 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Returned to form with a C&D win on last month's debut for Nick Scholfield, having a few of these in behind and scoring a shade cosily; remains well treated despite a 5lb rise and is the one to beat if backing up that effort. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Reeled off a four-timer in May/June (1m2f-1m4f on ground ranging from good to soft to good to firm); those wins came at Class 6 level and she has been beaten twice in a higher grade since; 12lb higher than when winning this race in 2024; cheekpieces back on for the first time since February. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Retains plenty of vitality aged eight but completed his May/June four-timer in Class 6 and was soundly beaten when back up in grade last time; current mark leaves him in a difficult spot. |

11st 12lb |
Fell in his first two handicaps but got off the mark with clearcut success in first-time blinkers at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground here but may still have potential; tongue-tie fitted for first time. |
