6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just 1-8 over hurdles but was placed on seasonal debut at Haydock (3m, good to soft) and his subsequent Uttoxeter fifth (2m4f, soft) was perfectly respectable; probably won't be far away |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A very lightly raced 10yo who has been competitive in all his handicap hurdles from 2m3f to 3m and Haydock last time was a higher-grade race; dropping back to 2m4f is probably a good thing. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 |
24th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Very lightly raced 9yo who won a bumper here on debut in 2021 and returned from a long absence to score on his handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, heavy) 65 days ago; up 5lb but could have plenty more to offer. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Some good runs in plating hurdles in the spring but soundly beaten back in handicaps on his last four starts, most recently when reverting to fences; lots to prove. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a selling hurdle for James Owen in March but was safely held in two handicap hurdles for new stable last month (2m/2m4f) and needs to raise his game on this first chasing start since January 2024. |
25/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Last win for James Owen came in a seller and was sold on for £5,500; 66-1 and tailed off on stable debut at Worcester. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Placed on first two stable starts (2m1f/2m3f; both in February) but returned from break with two down-the-field runs in blinkers last month (2m/2m1f); goes beyond about 2m3f and tries cheekpieces for the first time. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Placed on both starts for new stable in February (2m1f/2m3f, good to soft), but returned from break with low-key run at Perth (2m, good) a fortnight ago and needs that outing to have brought him on. |
14/1 |

7th 4 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Signed off for Micky Hammond with win at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November and was placed on both starts for new stable in February (2m1f/2m3f, good to soft); returns from 172-day break on career-high mark but is suited by this C&D and should be fine on the forecast good ground; cheekpieces (worn once on the Flat in 2023) are refitted; contender if fully tuned up. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner; only his third run over fences when second here a month ago but never went a yard here on Saturday and was pulled up in this new aids combination. |
12/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
9yo whose losing sequence goes all the way back to September 2022 but he returned to form when second over C&D (soft) last month and is also fine on good ground; a tongue-tie is added; possible player. |
9/2 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner who was useful on good ground in his prime; launched chasing career with two very respectable runs here (2m1f/2m5f) in May and was not disgraced in competitive 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Saturday (albeit finishing behind Sea The Clouds); could have a say. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Took big step back in right direction when 40-1 third at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month but has generally been very disappointing since returning from long absence in October 2024; has first-time blinkers added to cheekpieces today; tongue-tie removed; others preferred. |
7/1 |

28th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Promising novice hurdler for Olly Murphy during 2021-22 season but, following a long absence, has been unplaced in three handicap hurdles for new stable this term; ran well for a long way at Haydock (2m3f, heavy) on second occasion but was tailed off last time; sports first-time cheekpieces for chasing debut; the others all have much less to prove. |

Won two in a row at Perth (3m, good) in July but this 11yo has gone off the boil there subsequently and needs to turn things around. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Veteran who enjoyed a revival in July, winning twice over C&D (good); seems quickly to have gone off the boil since though, and was tailed off here 17 days ago. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Two hurdle wins last season, the latter over C&D (good ground; soft also fine) when upped in trip in April; still unexposed as a stayer but was safely held on last two appearances and returns here with a point to prove. |
12/1 |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Two hurdles wins last season, the latter when upped to 2m7f at Bangor (good) in April; still unexposed over this sort of trip but was tailed off when dropped back to 2m4f last month; hard to predict. |
8/1 |
|

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Completed a double, five months apart, when successful at Bangor (2m7f, good) in April; this is tougher off 7lb higher but may have more to offer in search of a three-timer. |
