11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won this race last year (good to firm) in good style and has a 1lb lower mark today; 2026 build-up has been far less auspicious than last season's, however, and the first-time visor of latest start is now replaced with a first-time tongue-tie. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won here (2m, good to firm) in July but an 8lb rise signalled a reversal in his fortunes and he's beaten one horse in both starts this term; nothing wrong with this mark if the visor prompts a turnaround, though. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Won Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts in handicaps over a wide range of trips this year. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |

Sole win came in a maiden here but over 2m4f; three modest runs in handicaps since returning from a break and has stamina to prove. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |

Gained sole success in Sedgefield maiden; holds weak claims on his form since switched to handicap hurdles; yard appears to have a better chance with Mandarb. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner last autumn (good/soft); ended last season with some disappointing efforts, though, and looked badly out of sorts on both Flat appearances this spring; leap of faith required to support her today. |

5th 4 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 3m hurdles last autumn but has lost her way over jumps this year and was well beaten here (1m4f) when back on the Flat a fortnight ago, after a wind op; this longer trip ought to suit better but it still takes a leap of faith to support her. |

Won twice on AW in her youth; three hurdle wins since joining this stable, the latest at Perth last October; not so good this spring and a wind op last month needs to turn things around. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time Flat winner; 0-10 as a hurdler but first run for this yard when faring quite well in a 2m1f novice at Cartmel; has shown she can be competitive off this mark. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

0-9 over hurdles and seemingly exposed now but she was consistent on good/good to soft ground last season and won't be far away if conditions remain suitable for her here. |

Both hurdle wins were in novice company over C&D last summer; best of two runs since wind surgery when third over 2m6f here last time (May); interesting. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Heavy-ground chase winner when based in France; just a respectable sixth over hurdles here (2m1f, good to soft) on British debut but last month's 3m1f chase run was better and he has a big role to play on these terms. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
27th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won over fences in France and appeared to perform below expectations on stable debut in a 2m1f novice hurdle here; this should be more his game and quite likely is a 5yo with more to offer; unraced over this far but there's stamina in his pedigree. |

Won a heavy-ground chase in France in October and wasn't beaten far when fifth of 15 in claiming hurdle at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) six weeks ago; makes British debut in a modest race; market likely to guide. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was tailed off when 66-1 for last month's handicap debut over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces); huge improvement needed. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Pretty poor in points and three runs over hurdles from 2m to 2m4f; handicaps are now a better option and he goes in cheekpieces, but there are plenty of risks to consider. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Improved form after being switched to this yard, winning handicaps last December at Ayr and Hexham at around 2m4f on heavy; two moderate runs since including a fifth here; rated 92 over timber so has a bit to find on chase debut but hails from top yard. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken quite well to hurdling, winning then third over 2m1f at Cartmel in the summer; carries a penalty but should be thereabouts. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken well to hurdling, just shaken up to beat six rivals over C&D (soft) last month; open to improvement and should go well under a penalty. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Signed off on the Flat for Jane Chapple-Hyam with 2m AW win in January (RPR 80) and was very much in contention before final-flight unseat over C&D (good to soft) on stable/hurdle debut in May; Richie McLernon presumably had the pick of the two stable runners in this race; shortlisted. |
