2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced over this far but a step back up to 1m6f did the trick at Ffos Las (soft; acts on good to firm) 11 days ago for first win this term; pretty consistent but the 5lb penalty means that he probably needs better than his 2026 form. |

1st 4 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win this season but has been pretty consistent and is edging down the weights; once ran quite well on soft ground but confidence in him would be higher on a quicker surface, particularly over this trip. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
On a losing run but he's proving consistent this season and posted a solid third of six in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; this course winner ought to be thereabouts once more. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won five times last year, one of those over C&D, but below form since finishing second of five at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this June; she has dropped in the weights and is dangerous to dismiss back here. |
4/1 |
|

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has five wins including one over C&D; ran well when second over C&D in June off 4lb higher mark but has been below that form in four runs since; has possibilities if a return to this track works the oracle. |
9/2 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won five times last summer and went the best part of two stone up the weights; patchy this time and often takes plenty of driving but is 2lb lower than when last successful and will find this a touch easier. |

Four wins in Britain for Ian Williams at 1m2f; never better than fifth in nine Irish appearances; down the field over 1m here on Wednesday; third reserve. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |

Four wins in Britain for Ian Williams at 1m2f but yet to reproduce that level of form for current connections, from 7f to 1m5f. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Recent form has been patchy, but he's now 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in May; each-way claims if he can reproduce that sort of form; stable also runs Hosanna Power. |
16/1 |

2 (10) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins at 1m2f, on good to firm and the AW; third at Beverley last month before struggling in a Class 4; could go well, though has mostly steered clear of slow ground. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Didn't come off the bridle when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (2m Class 4, good) in June for his third win over hurdles; ran well when third over C&D subsequently (Indemnity second and a few of these rivals behind); latest Perth effort (fifth) was slightly underwhelming. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat racer who won three of his first four hurdling starts and was creditable third in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) on latest outing four weeks ago; not yet fully exposed over jumps; must be considered. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 10 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
1m4f winner who has gone 3-4 over hurdles for Tom Lacey and easily won on handicap debut last time at Southwell (good; second run in this headgear combination), albeit against only four rivals; up 8lb but has momentum behind him. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Easy win at Bath (1m2f, firm) when dropped into a Class 6 in May; not so good since but edging back down the weights and he holds each-way claims in this field. |
11/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not far off career-best form when coming from the rear for clearcut success at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May but not seen to same effect on either subsequent outing; chance may depend upon others setting a strong pace. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; ran creditably sole start here (2024); latest of his two wins came when dropped into Class 6 at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May, before a Class 4 at Yarmouth saw a lesser effort; should be competitive in this race. |
9/1 |
