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. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

2nd 2 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hinted at possible return to form when fourth at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2lb lower than for last summer's win over that C&D but he was soundly beaten at Market Rasen (2m4f) a fortnight ago and now has questions to answer again. |

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. |

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. |
5/1 |

4th 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Had dropped to a good mark and finally exploited it with a head success at Hereford (3m1f, good); that was a weak race but he's only 2lb higher and should give some less exposed rivals plenty to think about. |

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. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up off 3lb higher at Stratford (2m6f, good) in October but he's struggled in both subsequent runs; hurdling record is now 1-10 and he has stamina to prove at this new trip after another break; down the list. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
1-9 over hurdles; absent since a poor performance in November but the form of his second off today's mark at Stratford (2m6f, good; handles good to soft) two starts ago has been well advertised by the winner in the meantime; can feature if fully tuned up. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All of his seven wins have been at either Hexham or Market Rasen; never really threatened when a distant third on his first run for six months over C&D (good) nine days ago; best to wait until he runs over his favoured tracks. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five out of seven hurdles wins have been recorded in the month of June; mark and trip fine, but although once a winner after 151 days out his record following an absence is a bit mixed overall. |

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. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |

Form has dipped markedly since winning at Worcester (2m4f, good) off this mark last June and recent efforts make her hard to support. |
