23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
A dual hurdles winner (including over C&D) last season; shaped well on his return when runner-up over C&D in June but failed to beat a rival back here last time; the sort to bounce back though. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Two of his five wins over hurdles have been over C&D; has a decent record fresh and made a solid return when runner-up over C&D (good) last month; 5lb higher than his last winning mark though and a career-best is required. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Made all in this race a year ago, after a seven-month break, and showed career-best form when scoring at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in the autumn; returns from latest break on a tough mark but no surprise if he gives this a good shot. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
First start for this stable when runner-up over C&D and had the hood back on then; no match for the winner at Newton Abbot but that was behind a Skelton hotpot; respected. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Back to near best on first start for this stable when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) with the hood back on; remains well treated on past form after 3lb rise and holds strong claims if able to repeat the effort. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark for this yard off a 6lb lower mark at Hexham in May (2m, good); not disgraced when third stepped up to 2m4f next time; a possible. |
13/2 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
The booking of Patrick Mullins was a likely factor in him going off 6-4f last time at Hexham where he raced freely and didn't last home over 2m4f; had made steady progress for this yard and, back over shorter with Joshua Thompson taking off 5lb, he should be involved. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Steady progress since joining this trainer, resuming winning ways over 2m here (good; 7-2, with Malangen third) latest; raised 7lb since, and tackles 2m4f for the first time; noteworthy that Patrick Mullins travels over from Ireland to ride. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Close third at Worcester (2m, good) on both starts since returned to hurdling in June; not yet fully exposed over hurdles, but moves up from Class 5 today and the forecast rain may not be in his favour. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
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. |
6/1 |
|
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. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |
5/1 |
|
7th 5 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; ran poorly at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-21 over hurdles but was clear second to a progressive rival on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if judged on that. |
7/2 |
|
5 |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-22 under rules, but having been well supported he ran his best race so far when second of ten on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month (first and fourth have won since); up 5lb but still 1lb well in and shortlisted if building on that. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Outran 50-1 odds when third over C&D (good) last month, his third start for Sarah-Jayne Davies, but needs a better performance today and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |
14/1 |

3rd 11 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Placed in low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy earlier this year; beaten 20l over hurdles on yard debut and then unseated in his first chase; risky. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Placed in two low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy in February/March but was last of six when back over hurdles here (2m, good) for new stable last month and is not bred for chasing. |

Now 9lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) last August but his form has slumped since and a revival is needed. |

11st 4lb |
Only fifth of eight on her return to hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) last month, but despite some iffy jumping she was only caught on the run-in; has dropped to a handy mark and could go well; stable also runs Gerard Mentor. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Quirky mare who returned from a layoff with a below-par chase run six weeks ago; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others in this field look less risky. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Proven winner who had lost his way but got back on track with a near miss at Worcester (2m, good) 20 days ago; just 2lb higher but the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) cast some doubts. |
