22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back over hurdles just four days after a below-par chase run at Cartmel; twice runner-up in this sphere during the summer, including over C&D in refitted cheekpieces last month; major player if bouncing back to that level. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up twice over hurdles in recent weeks, latterly in refitted cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good), but was well beaten in both chases last year and needs to prove he can transfer his recent good form to fences. |

On a losing run but he got back on track with second of eight in 2m7f handicap at Bangor five days ago; now needs to back it up. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences; hasn't had much go his way since scoring in October but he was still in contention when unseating three out over fences last time in a race won by Dunkerque; now 10lb better off with that rival and he should be competitive given a change in fortune; forecast rain is a concern though. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 5-13 over hurdles and he's rated 10lb lower as a chaser (0-5); however, hasn't offered a lot in this discipline and it's over a year since he last went chasing. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Strike-rate of 5-12 over hurdles and won easily at Warwick (2m5f, good) before pulling up at Ascot in October; he does have a bit to prove off this mark even if returning in good order. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner; seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) when very respectable third at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) this month but has become too inconsistent to rely upon. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
5-32 over hurdles (2m-3m2f), including on good to firm; first run back from a break in April was encouraging but he's gone backwards since and has to be forgiven a poor effort latest; on a fair mark if first-time cheekpieces help. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 |
7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Possible to say he's been temptingly handicapped for a while now, but dropping into a 0-110 here for just the second time; some hope if getting a less contested lead than last time (C&D), which isn't a given. |

11st 13lb |
Has very good 8-32 hurdling strike-rate that includes win in 2024 edition of this race (good ground); not seen since July but has won when fresh before and returns on a workable mark; had another wind op last month (his fourth); shortlisted. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently when Sean Bowen was at his strongest at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in June, and his subsequent effort off 5lb higher at Market Rasen (2m7f) was solid; remains on the same workable mark and should be in the thick of things again. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has won two of his last three, the latest over 3m2f at Fontwell when Sean Bowen was at his strongest; probably has little up his sleeve after the 5lb rise. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Landed a weak handicap at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March; never threatened off 2lb higher at Southwell (3m, good) last time; Sean Bowen rides for the first time so may well have a say. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Just 1-13 over hurdles and needs to bounce back from last month's poor performance but was placed off 4lb higher at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in May and his next run was much better than the bare form suggests; no surprise if he features. |
7/2 |
|
9th 8 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Just 1-12 over hurdles but ran quite well when third at Newton Abbot in May and was in contention for a place before last-flight error cooked his goose at Warwick (also 3m2f, good) last month; could have a say. |
12/1 |

6th 2 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to add to his maiden hurdle win in 2023 but fairly lightly raced in the meantime and ran quite well when third at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; still unexposed over this sort of trip; raced mainly on good ground; could have a say. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner who has placed form over C&D; third off 1lb higher at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in June but below that form at favourite track Market Rasen twice since; wears new tongue-tie and refitted visor. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
He was 3lb higher when winning this 12 months ago and didn't arrive here that day in great form; did finish third at Uttoxeter two runs back so could go well, despite a modest last run when the visor was back on (in which he's effective but now removed). |
7/2 |
|
9th 3 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
All of his seven wins have been at either Hexham or here, so merits attention after finishing a close third at Uttoxeter a month ago; 2lb below last winning mark. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Close third of three in a Dunsmore open (good to soft) on her most recent pointing start, but her quirkier side was also evident this year having run out under two different riders; risks attached therefore, and she offered nothing on a sole previous chasing start (3m, 0-120) in autumn 2024. |
9/2 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
She's dropped to a mark 4lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last June but she's struggled to reproduce that form since and has been well beaten on both outings this year. |
25/1 |

8th 7 |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Form has dipped markedly since winning at Worcester (2m4f, good) off this mark last June and recent efforts make her hard to support. |
