20th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time course winner, twice over C&D, who was runner-up here three times in succession in May/June; found one too good again over C&D (Les's Legacy third) this month on his return from a break but that was a solid comeback and another bold bid looks on the cards. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up three consecutive times here (2m-2m4f, good) in the spring; two lesser efforts followed but he can pose a threat off this mark if back on song after 76-day break. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; first switched to Flat in late July, racing over 1m initially before his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 14 days ago; duly raised his game when stepped up to 2m here yesterday, making most and beating all except the easy winner; big player if he's in the same form today. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; has had only five races on the Flat, with 1m looking inadequate on first four occasions and 1m2f the same with his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 13 days ago; dropped 2lb and it's not hard to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the much longer trip. |
8/1 |

6th 17 (17) |
12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; only had four races on the Flat and a 1m has looked inadequate; however, even 1m2f might not be far enough for him. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Useful five-time winner for Peter Fahey who changed hands for 25,000euros last November; two handicap chase runs for this yard well below best, as was recent 3m Listowel handicap hurdle effort; questions to answer on ground on the soft side for the 9yo. |

7th 3 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Useful five-time winner for Peter Fahey who changed hands for 25,000euros last November; two chase runs since, unseating early and tailed off; something to prove, including her stamina, but she won over hurdles in the reapplied visor last October; interesting to see what the market makes of her. |
12/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 40y |

Useful five-time winner for Peter Fahey; changed hands for E25,000 in November but unseated at the first on stable debut at Galway eight days ago; tongue-tie and cheekpieces left off now; enjoys nice ground and definite claims. |

sweating, took keen hold, led, headed but prominent before 5th, mistake and lost position 8th, rallying when mistake 4 out, weakened before 3 out |

9th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October and has run well in second the next twice (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good); he's fine at this trip (and on a variety of ground) and was effective here over hurdles; can make another bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
8th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Winning hurdler who has taken well to fences, beating Caithness by a head over C&D on debut last month before fair second off this 4lb higher mark at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); should go well again. |

20th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently twice over C&D in 2025 but he has struggled to reproduce that form; down the weights and latest 2l third over C&D on his return from a break was more encouraging, so he could figure if backing that up. |
8/1 |

3rd 10 |
2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Gained four of his five hurdle wins here (two over 2m4f); seemingly on the downgrade now but didn't run badly when fifth at Perth (3m, good) in early July and ought to be better suited by this shorter trip; returns from a break on a tempting mark; dangerous to ignore. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Continues to slide in the weights, now 10lb below his last winning mark (2m4f, Hexham); Kelso fourth (2m5f; in first-time blinkers) was okay but his latest Hexham effort (2m) was a poor one; plenty to prove, particularly over 3m. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won over hurdles for three different yards, most recently at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July, but he's been pulled up in three starts for this stable and drops into a seller with masses to find at the weights. |
100/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Worcester winner for Ben Pauling last July (2m7f, good) but has been pulled up on both starts for Victor Thompson since, the first in a point, the second in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle; bit to prove. |
50/1 |
|
9 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
With Ben Pauling when taking advantage of a light weight at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; changed hands soon after; pulled up on comeback at Friars Haugh (2m4f point; first time over fences); better to look elsewhere. |
