24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Gained both British wins at Bangor, latterly when making all (2m7f, good) four weeks ago; remains unexposed over this sort of trip and is probably still on a workable mark after recent 4lb rise; high on the list. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Suffered alarming dip in form after 2m3f course win (good to soft) last April but ran well from the front and was seemingly back in good nick when third over that trip here (good) last month; contender if able to build on that effort over this new trip. |
9/2 |

3rd 9 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a C&D handicap (good to soft) last April but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs and latest was back here in March; has some questions to answer and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |

Ex-Chris Gordon; two fair runs over fences on first two starts for this yard and sound third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces when reverting to hurdles last time; a possible. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden over hurdles, but he's thrived since switched to fences this season, winning two of his three starts and arguably unlucky not to be 3-3 after a costly mistake at the last proved his undoing at Haydock in December; the 6lb rise demands more, but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet. |

3rd 9 |
24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Came back in good form after a three-month break with two sound runs last month, better effort when third at Catterick in a race that has worked out well (2m3f, good); didn't fare as well dropped back to 2m last time (didn't jump as well); definite contender back up in trip. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Only won over fences and he made it 0-10 over hurdles when beaten 12l at Kelso a month ago; however, was running fairly well in this discipline before that and certainly has each-way claims. |
4/1 |

5th 8 |
17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Chase winner who is 0-9 over hurdles but he went close over C&D in May and has been placed at Bangor (2m) and Stratford (2m2f) in his last three starts; usually races prominently and has each-way claims again back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Battled on well for second over C&D before a heavier defeat at Stratford, where again runner-up but beaten 11l; only 1-20 overall and vulnerable to horses on handier marks but one of the more solid contenders nonetheless. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Needs to rebound from last month's poor hurdle run but was second in two good-ground C&D chases last summer (including this race) and has slipped to a good mark; will be dangerous if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Not seen over hurdles since 65l defeat on handicap debut in April 2025 but pretty consistent over fences since; reverts to this code with trip/ground suitable; might be the answer. |
6/1 |

4th 1 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Was going okay when whacking the third last at Southwell (2m, good; beaten 15l) in June, a race he won the previous year off 11lb lower; he does look a shade high in the weights but can run well. |

12st 0lb |
Unexposed; has run a couple of fair races over hurdles, notably when third in a Uttoxeter maiden in December (2m, soft); however, beaten 47l on handicap debut over C&D last time (good; 33-1) and needs to improve markedly on that to take a hand. |

May have been placed but for penultimate-flight fall on hurdling debut in October and again showed promise next time; final run was disappointing but that's not done his mark any harm and has to be of interest on handicap debut; all hurdles runs on soft ground. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Finished a close third on handicap debut over 2m3f here in March but off colour since then with and without a tongue-tie; goes up in trip and there are stayers in the family. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Absent since running as though something was amiss in April but was creditable third on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in March and may still have potential. |

Third in two Ludlow novice hurdles in February (2m, good to soft) before finishing a creditable third at Hereford on handicap debut on first run at this trip (good; form not worked out); tongue-tie now tried; each-way chance. |

4-24 over hurdles, with all wins (2m4f-3m) in spring 2025; latest was off 15lb higher than today, as he's usually not shown much spark since; cheekpieces (last tried seven starts back) return. |

Gained all four hurdle wins on good ground during purple patch in spring 2025 (2m4f-3m; wore cheekpieces); out of form during the winter and again well beaten this month, after a break; revival needed. |

Longstanding maiden who hasn't been showing much for a while now; plenty to find with Kellebelle on latest run; visor now tried. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Maiden who is out of the weights and can hardly appeal on recent efforts but she did at least finish close up over C&D last April and has dropped a long way in the weights since; visor added (often wears cheekpieces). |
