22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improver over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien, winning at Taunton (2m) and Market Rasen (2m4f) in the first half of 2025; 14-1 for his return to the Flat at Yarmouth last month (11.5f, good to firm) and dropped away having been hassled up front; today's longer trip should be in his favour given stamina over hurdles. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Big personal best over hurdles in June when running away with a 2m5f Market Rasen 0-100 (good; RPR 111); no Flat runs since 2021-22 in France and only ever once beaten under 20l, but British Flat mark appropriately realistic and he's a danger to all if recent cheer translates to this code. |

Won in pretty good style at Taunton (2m, good to firm) in April, having rejoined Fergal O'Brien, and will be fine over this trip, but disappointed when warm favourite at Worcester last month and now has a point to prove. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Beaten 12 times since her last win in June 2025 and her recent form has been patchy, this season hasn't been devoid of promise and she's dropped to a dangerous mark; not discounted. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Six-time hurdle winner; lurks on a good mark but was just a respectable fourth in C&D (good) mares' race on Wednesday and will need to better that effort. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Back-to-back C&D wins in June and July under William Maggs but never travelled in his hat-trick bid at Cartmel two weeks later, when he may not have been suited by the track; remains 3lb above his most recent success but worth considering back at his favourite venue. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In-form 7yo who comes here after two narrow wins at Market Rasen (both 3m+, good); latest 4lb rise ought to be manageable and this drop back in trip won't be a problem; big player if suited by this different track. |

Both wins here, the latest 16 days ago when holding on grimly off a 6lb lower mark; can be inconsistent. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has thrived since returning to action this summer, landing two wins over fences before registering her first hurdles win, over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; 4lb rise may not be enough to stop her winning again. |
2/1 |

1st 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
2-2 here over fences since returning from a break, latest when staying on best five days ago, taking her tally in that sphere to four, all at about this trip; yet to win in 20 attempts over hurdles, which does temper enthusiasm, and this is a quick turnaround, but she's thriving at present and hard to rule out. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Largely consistent mare who justified support back from an absence when landing a third chase win last month, her second over C&D; up 5lb but Alix Balfe claims 7lb and she'll likely give her running and be thereabouts. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |

Did not take to chasing at end of last year (two attempts) and was tailed off when reappearing over hurdles last month; on a good mark now but needs to have taken considerable benefit from that recent outing. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Won maiden hurdle here (2m, soft) in March 2024 and is well handicapped if judged on that performance, but didn't take to chasing at end of 2024 and this return to hurdling comes after a 163-day break. |

AW Flat winner when visored for the first time, in February (8.5f); sound run back over hurdles when keeping-on third at Kelso this month (2m2f, good to firm); 2m4f should suit; each-way chance. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Poor strike-rate (1-37), finishing down the field at Ripon (1m2f; 25-1) a fortnight ago; nothing special over hurdles either (0-5; beaten 34l at Market Rasen in April), so difficult to consider. |

0-14 under rules and 0-2 in points but returned from break with two respectable runs at Wetherby (both 2m3f, soft) in December and should be okay on this right-handed track; could have a say. |
