Beaten favourite but ran creditably at Doncaster (2m3f) last time, taking form figures over hurdles to 222211142; that consistency gives him each-way possibilities back down in trip. |

held up in rear, mistake and pecked on landing 1st, steady headway from 3 out, switched right when bit short of room approaching last, pressed leader and kept on run-in, no extra final strides |

Came good for Sandy Thomson at third attempt, with comfortable win at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in February, and put a lesser run behind her when close at fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) last month; this move back up in trip will suit; may yet have a bigger run in her. |

11st 5lb |
Tailed off when back over hurdles at Sedgefield last month and something to prove after that; however, he's 2lb lower than for his ready win over fences here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and shouldn't be discounted. |

Won a handicap chase at Musselburgh in December (2m7f, good to soft); shapes as though this trip will suit, is 7lb lower over hurdles and could go well. |

Lightly raced bumper and maiden hurdle winner who caught the eye when fifth at Carlisle in October following a long absence; well beaten at Sandown since but he's in top hands and is not written off. |

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. |

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. |

12yo who exploited a career-low mark in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since) at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November and followed up there (3m, good to soft) in December, making all under Oscar Palmer each time; he's a player if resuming where he left off. |

Not the force of old but, following a wind operation, arrested decline and was placed twice at Hexham (2m4f; stays 3m) in the spring; absent since falling quite heavily there in May but has a fighting chance if ready to roll. |

Generally disappointing last season but showed the benefit of a wind op when making the frame on final two appearances (2m/2m4f); begins new campaign on a workable mark and will be suited by the ground; a possible. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Changed stables earlier in the season and has won twice since, both at Worcester (2m, good); not at the top of his game when fourth at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago but he was ridden more patiently than usual and is better than that; could be a contender. |
7/2 |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Prevailed in three-way photo-finish (that also involved Al Mootamarid) to win over C&D (good) on stable debut in July and added to his tally in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; might be a shade vulnerable after latest 4lb rise but can given another good account. |
