1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
A fair 1m2f scorer on the Flat who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m Stratford handicap last June; back from ten months off with a promising third of eight over C&D two weeks ago, finishing well having suffered a poor run from two out; very much one to consider. |

3rd 3 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won with tongue-tie added in a Stratford handicap (2m, good) last June but he's been well held over hurdles and on the Flat in last two starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Chester last month but his form is patchy and he's still 6lb higher than for his hurdle win; others preferred. |

Won a low-grade handicap hurdle last summer but this is his first Flat run since 2024, and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 5lb |
Runs this track well and posted career-best hurdling performance when scoring over C&D (good to firm) a week ago; 7lb penalty gives her a big weight to carry today but, nevertheless, she has strong claims. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ran creditably switched back to hurdles from the Flat last time, taking Stratford record to 1423214; seems weighted to the hilt but holds a solid chance kept to this venue and back up in trip; 1-1 over C&D. |
11/2 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double over hurdles at Fakenham (2m, good soft) last October and she's done well back on the Flat this spring including a win on firm ground at Bath (11.6f); her last hurdle win was off 6lb lower but that was a comfortable success and she's in the mix back in this sphere. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |

Dual hurdle winner and only 2lb higher than for his win at Hereford in December; however, didn't look a natural on last month's chase debut and was pulled up. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Struck form with two 2m hurdle wins in December (Ludlow claimer and Hereford handicap) but three lesser efforts have followed, including a well-held third of five at Ludlow last month; still 4lb higher than for his last success and something to prove on this switch to chasing; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |

Struck form with two wins in December (C&D claimer/Hereford handicap) but two lesser efforts have followed and he was behind Aim Straight on more recent occasion; needs to kick on again. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

Inconsistent hurdler who's been off for five months since a poor effort here in the winter; nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh and it's tough to find any positives. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |

Progressive type who made it three wins in his last four starts in 2m handicap at Huntingdon 18 days ago; up another 9lb but he scored readily there so is not taken lightly. |

19th Feb 2026 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Went up 10lb for winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft; completing a double) but was still competitive at Wincanton (soft) where he had a subsequent winner just behind him; nudged up another 1lb but has the least to prove of these. |

9st 6lb |
Scored over hurdles at Stratford last May but below par on the AW over the winter, beating just one home in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford in February; more is required after a break in a change of headgear. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

C&D scorer but she's not proving the easiest to predict of late, tried in a change of headgear when only sixth of eight in 1m handicap here last month; others are preferred. |

15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

All three of her wins on the Flat have been over 1m2f; failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in November but she ran a better race when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 26 days ago; cheekpieces replace the visor but this is the shortest trip she has encountered since July 2023. |

Runner-up over 2m7f at Fakenham last month, since when she's finished 12l behind at Stratford; only 1-33 overall and others preferred for win purposes. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Fair hurdles form to win four in a row (2m2f-2m4f) last summer but lost his form in that sphere; debut under Flat rules when 17l sixth of ten in maiden at Goodwood (1m6f, good; 18-1) ten days ago, making most, which is something to build on but his turn on the Flat may not come just yet. |

Well beaten over 2m on last month's stable debut, after a layoff, and did not achieve a great deal when last of five finishers (albeit not beaten that far) over 2m5f 12 days ago; not yet exposed after only six starts but needs improvement over this new trip. |

Bled in her final two races for Dan Skelton and was 100-1 when beaten a distance on yard debut in a 2m handicap hurdle at Southwell (good), albeit after a year off; chance hinges on this longer trip making all the difference and her pedigree offers hope. |
