22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Ran away with a 2m2f handicap here last April; not quite so good since, including when well held back on the Flat at Ripon last month. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Arrives fit from hurdling and some of his best Flat form last year came in April, winning at Pontefract before second over C&D (both good). |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden over hurdles but has placed form and he won six on the Flat; made a bright start over fences in January but didn't fancy it at Huntingdon and refused early; the cheekpieces are off but wouldn't be a surprise to see him run well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Didn't set the world alight in his three handicap hurdles (won his two previous hurdle starts); those handicaps were at up to 2m1f and he's much more of a stayer on the Flat, but his two Flat runs at Chester (where he won last season) this term were disappointing; tongue tied first time. |
14/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Soundly beaten in last month's Chester Plate (2m2f) but this race is easier and he's now only 1lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last summer; versatile regarding ground; contender if back on song. |
12/1 |

13th 13 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
His only appearance at Chester was a successful one in eight-runner handicap last August (2m, good to firm) off 3lb lower than today, in a manner that was encouraging for this test; absent since a lesser show in September but scored in 2024 after a 113-day layoff and needs a close look. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time Flat winner; ended losing run when winning a small-field novice handicap hurdle three weeks ago; has the ability to play a big part but breaking on terms is an issue for him. |
3/1 |

1st 2 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |
100/30 |

3rd 11 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Lowly rated these days on the Flat and has shown little in three runs over hurdles; makes handicap hurdle debut up in trip and needs to show significant improvement. |

2m winner on fast turf last summer, her sole success in 18 appearances; competitive on occasions on the AW since then but not last time when tried in the visor that is retained. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ran well for a long way when third of seven on latest hurdling start, at Doncaster (2m, soft) in February, and will be fine on the faster ground here but recent Flat form has been underwhelming; others appeal more. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time Flat winner for David O'Meara but hasn't really threatened to add to tally on the Flat or over hurdles for this yard, including back on the level last month. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time Flat winner, the latest in May 2024, and he ran okay in February on his last hurdle start; he may have needed the run when back on the Flat three weeks ago and is not ruled out off a reduced mark. |
16/1 |
