4 yo Colt

OR: 73

Form & Verdict
Disappointing in the main since promising debut second in February 2024 (9.4f, AW) but he returned to form with an encouraging third at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) last month, when denied a clear run; can play a leading role if backing up that performance and handling the forecast fast ground.

Flat winner for David O'Meara was tailed off when 50/1 on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; hard to fancy.

J: Shane Fitzgerald

Bought for 10,000gns after losing his form in two starts following a breakthrough Flat win at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) in August for David O'Meara; others more likely.

6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent sort who has won just one of his last 23 starts; however, he went close over C&D (good to firm) on his reappearance and was back on song when second at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last week; possible player.

J: Amie Waugh

T: Tim Easterby

C&D winner in 2022 but his latest success came nearly two years ago; third on his first two outings this season (1m4f) and did enough to suggest he's still in form when fourth of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago; drop back in trip may not be ideal.

It has been nearly two years since the last of his four wins but his two starts in 2026 have seen him finish third; conditions won't be an excuse and he's more solid than some.

J: David Allan

Defied a much higher mark at Beverley in 2022; poor strike-rate since but he ran encouragingly when favourite at Catterick (1m4f) on seasonal debut and has possibilities back here, being so nicely weighted.

Form & Verdict
Won five times last season at about 1m4f (various ground), with three of them here; flopped on first two runs this term but returned to form with close second at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; unbeaten over C&D and has plenty in her favour.

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.

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.

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.

Form & Verdict
Made all when back on the Flat for stable debut over C&D (good) in April; had been headed but was still bang there when badly hampered inside the final furlong at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month; could still have more to offer for this yard and he's firmly in calculations.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: James Owen

Dual Flat winner for new stable in the spring before reverting to hurdling with commendable third behind Cavern Club in C&D Summer Hurdle (good) in July; only 1lb higher today and ought to be right in the thick of things.

6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Won here last June and consistent on the Flat since, running well in defeat here on his last three starts (two of them over C&D); can give another solid account but may again find one or more too good, unless the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) gives him a boost.
