3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double (2m6f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when winning here for Dan Skelton last August; she's run some reasonable races since for this yard but was a well-beaten second of two finishers at Fontwell recently. |
10/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Led close home to land quite valuable prize for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer; not at same level on any of three subsequent starts for new stable but ran well for long way when fourth of five at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month, after a break, and may be better suited by this shorter trip. |

5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |

Signed off for Dan Skelton with two wins last summer (about 2m6f); shaped well on stable debut when third at Newcastle in November but pulled up at Chepstow three weeks later, both at about 3m; off 150 days but she's won off similar breaks in the past and not ruled out if back on song. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
6yo who made it 2-12 over hurdles when winning in good style here in June; up 9lb but it was even more emphatic when disposing of 11 rivals on his chase debut back here (also 2m4f, good) on Sunday; same mark today and he stays this trip; the one to beat. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
6yo who made it 2-12 over hurdles when winning in good style here (2m4f, good) in June; also effective on soft/good to soft; not bred for fences but he's in good hands and is respected on his debut in this sphere. |
5/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Mark over a stone in excess of that for last June's Uttoxeter win (2m4f, good) is owed to some good runs in defeat since; 142-day absence won't be an issue judged on last October's effort after similar. |

30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent gelding who won by a comfortable 3l at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft; won on good) last time and the runner-up has since filled the same berth at Newbury; this 7yo was ideally positioned that day in what developed into a sprint finish but a 5lb rise could have been worse; Murray Dodd rides again claiming his 7lb. |
9/4 |

1st 2 |
4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Mostly consistent in his six runs for Stuart Edmunds, winning twice (2m4f/2m7f); a well-held third over C&D last month but Murray Dodd takes off 7lb and drying conditions are a further bonus. |
6/1 |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has won two of his five starts since returning to rules action in September, the latest by a wide margin at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft); a 10lb rise asks questions of him but he's strongly considered. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
19-race maiden who has been absent since some underwhelming chase runs in the autumn (bled from nose on latest outing); not the most obvious answer on this return to hurdling. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 |
19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Failed to win in 12 starts over hurdles; his chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) was respectable and was pulled up early at Perth when only 9-2; could feature with the cheekpieces back on (visored for last three races). |
11/2 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
0-12 over hurdles but made quite pleasing start to chasing career last week, finishing third in race won easily by a handicap blot at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); has a fighting chance here if able to build on that performance. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |

0-14 under rules and 0-2 in points but returned from break with two respectable runs at Wetherby (both 2m3f, soft) in December and should be okay on this right-handed track; could have a say. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |
15/8 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Sole success came when wide-margin winner over hurdles at Fakenham just under one year ago but he's finished runner-up on 12 occasions, including five times in succession over fences between September and November; had wind surgery after heavy defeat over hurdles at Windsor over five months ago; market might guide on this return. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in June and was runner-up in two chases last month, latterly behind King Of The Story at Warwick (2m4f, good); also ran well back over hurdles at Fakenham on Friday, but the forecast rain is a worry. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
0-12 in Flat handicaps but she was placed here in November on two occasions (including C&D); behind Shipshape at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on his first start for 131 days but the returning cheekpieces should be a positive. |

0-11 in Flat handicaps but bang there on three of her last four starts (2m here and Southwell 1m6f); that puts her firmly in the picture but there is a bit to prove after 131 days off. |

Rarely seen over hurdles away from Market Rasen, his last win coming there (2m3f, good) from well out of the handicap in September last year; unexposed over this far, but his form has an uneven look to it; others stronger; stable also runs Fox's Socks. |
