18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Clearcut winner on chase debut (2m4f, good) on final run for Rebecca Menzies and similar sort of form in defeat in two runs for the Skeltons, last time pushing earlier-race contender Newton Rambler all the way back over 2m at Uttoxeter; returning to further looks a plus and this hold-up performer should have this run to suit him. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Has taken his form to a new level since switched to fences, winning by wide margin at Hexham (final start for Rebecca Menzies) then creditable second at Worcester, both over 2m4f on good ground; likely to be as effective back down in distance and remains open to further progress in this sphere; respected. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back to form and kept on stoutly to win by 17l on chasing debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month, after which he was bought out of Rebecca Menzies' stable for £25,000; makes stable debut from 8lb higher mark but it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Bumper and dual hurdles winner; disappointing in last two appearances but may tap back into earlier progress, provided he takes well to chasing; by no means written off. |

21st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice in novice company towards end of last year (2m1f/2m3f) and came second on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in March; disappointed when upped to 2m5f for latest run but may still have potential. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |
9/2 |

3rd 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Too strong for his rivals in a Class 6 over a mile here last month; reportedly finished lame when disappointing (13-8f) behind Golden Strike here four weeks ago; revised 3lb higher mark has now kicked in. |

9th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two bumper runs 819 days apart for Willie Mullins, best form when second at Killarney on debut (2m1f, good; 6-4 favourite); not so good next time and sold £3,500 in August; quite interesting on stable/hurdles debut. |

5th 4 |
11th Aug 2024 Good 2m 2f 185y |

Has a long absence to overcome but was only narrowly denied on his debut at Killarney and the winner is now a five-time winner under rules; market confidence would be welcomed. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won a bumper in May 2024; 0-15 as a hurdler for Gillian Boanas but had his share of seconds and thirds, including over 3m; £12,500 sale in March was quickly followed by wind surgery and, although usual headgear is dispensed with, new trainer Dan Skelton has something to work with; one to note. |
7/4 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Lost out in a tight finish over C&D (soft) in December and creditable third to Big Storm Brewing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; fine on good ground) on latest outing; hurdles score has gone to 0-14, though. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Sedgefield bumper winner (2m1f, good) in May 2024; runner-up (beaten 2l) in a division of this last year, and lost out in a tight finish at Musselburgh (3m) in December; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) next time; must enter the thinking in a weak race. |

Respectable fifth over C&D (good; first run after wind op) last month and didn't run badly on the Flat a fortnight later (first-time tongue-tie) but he's 0-26 under all codes now and is 6lb out of the weights today. |

A dual runner-up in points, she cut little ice over hurdles but found her mark over fences, winning twice over an extended 2m3f at Market Rasen (good to soft/soft); flopped, however, as favourite trying 3m at that track six weeks ago. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |

8th 10 (4) |

Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |
