18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
In good form over fences here since wind op in April, most notably when winning over 3m1f (good) three weeks ago; should be fine back over this hurdles and over this shorter trip; respected in current mood. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won twice over hurdles at Cartmel in 2025; following a wind operation, he's finished runner-up in 3m1f/2m5f handicap chases here, last time only reeled in late on; clear claims off an untouched mark. |

Both wins over hurdles were here; runner-up in two of his four chase starts, the latest here on Saturday when no match for the winner over 3m1f; fine over this far and has clear claims. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Beaten 25l on her chasing debut at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in January but has blossomed since switching back to hurdles in cheekpieces (retained here), making all at Fakenham and Cartmel last month; this is tougher but he's bang in form and should set them all a merry gallop on this second stab at chasing. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up in 3m Haydock handicap last month, having been hampered on run-in, and readily beat a next-time-out winner when dropped back to 2m4f for Fakenham maiden (also on good ground; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; big player if coping with this even shorter trip. |

1st 7 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Safely held when switched to fences for handicap debut in January but was second in handicap hurdle at Haydock (3m, good) last month, having been badly hampered on the run-in; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here; strong claims if in similar form again. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Joined Ben Haslam after finishing third in slow-ground Irish point in March; struggled to get competitive here (2m1f, good) on rules debut in May but combination of much stiffer stamina test and first-time tongue-tie may enable improvement today. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish pointer, better effort when third in a mares' maiden in March (3m, yielding to soft); worth a market check on hurdles debut. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Heavy-ground chase winner when based in France; just a respectable sixth over hurdles here (2m1f, good to soft) on British debut but last month's 3m1f chase run was better and he has a big role to play on these terms. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
27th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won over fences in France and appeared to perform below expectations on stable debut in a 2m1f novice hurdle here; this should be more his game and quite likely is a 5yo with more to offer; unraced over this far but there's stamina in his pedigree. |
5/1 |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a heavy-ground chase in France in October and wasn't beaten far when fifth of 15 in claiming hurdle at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) six weeks ago; makes British debut in a modest race; market likely to guide. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when opening her account with clearcut win at Wetherby (3m, soft) in December, her sixth hurdling start, and again ran well when second at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) in January; now has a tongue-tie added; must be considered. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 7 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
2-2 in 3m points and she showed improved form to win under Leah Noreci at Wetherby (3m, soft) last month, when stepped up in trip in first-time cheekpieces in her second handicap; had 3l to spare in that big field and she's a strong candidate up 6lb, provided the headgear maintains its effect. |

5th 5 |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
2-2 in Irish points in spring 2024 but has not shown a great deal on her three hurdling starts this year; pulled up in recent C&D race won by stablemate Caughtinyourtrance; tongue-tie added today. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-9 in points and 0-7 under rules; tailed off on last month's chasing debut (1m7f), after a break, and now reverts to hurdling in new headgear; 9lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
One second place from nine otherwise mostly poor efforts in Irish points, and operating below a winning level over hurdles back in the autumn; limited appeal on chase debut from 7lb out of the weights. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden Irish pointer who was well beaten in three Cartmel novice hurdles (2m1f-2m6f) this summer; still very unexposed under rules but needs major improvement on this handicap debut; 2lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |

Lowly rated maiden maiden who was well beaten in 2m Hexham novice last month and has now been unplaced all ten hurdling starts; goes beyond 2m4f for first time here; difficult to enthuse over. |
