29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |

8th 3 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form under both codes last year included a 1m4f course win; quiet return to jumping at Cartmel two weeks ago but that was after a lengthy break and he's on better Flat mark than he is over hurdles. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Versatile 8yo who ran well in two chases this spring and returned to the Flat with game win from the front at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and can make another bold bid here. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seems in form having posted a couple of creditable efforts over fences this year (May/June); close second over C&D when last seen on the Flat ten months ago; capable of taking a serious hand. |
100/30 |

3rd 2 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up in three of his four chases, most recently at Bangor (2m1f, good; well clear of third) last month, after a layoff; also suited by this track and can make his presence felt again. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has shown promise over hurdles; caught the attention of the stewards last time; may be more interesting in handicaps but he is one of the better types in this field, being a dual Flat winner. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Flat winner in France and added a 1m6f handicap at Haydock last August; no impact in two runs over hurdles, though reportedly finished lame after the latest. |
20/1 |
|
6th 1 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won on the Flat last summer (1m6f; RPR 80) but was well held when third of six on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) last spring and has fitness to prove after 258-day absence; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m4f, good) in April; beaten a head at Chester (1m4f, good) last month and again finished second at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; ran well over an extended 2m at York last season and could be involved. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Drops back in trip/grade having never landed a blow in the Northumberland Vase last time; broadly consistent otherwise this term and won at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April; 4lb higher now, though. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
His last win was two years ago but he's on a dangerous mark and was a good second in amateur jockeys' handicap at Haydock (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; should be fine on this drop back in trip and has claims if he can build on that last run. |
4/1 |
|
5 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
His mark continues to fall and he didn't run badly at Windsor (1m2f) in May when back from an absence; however, he's failed to threaten on his three starts since (1m2f-1m6f) and needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
All five wins from 1m4f to 1m6f; outpaced when fourth of six on reappearance at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May and he couldn't get in a blow over 1m4f last time; will likely need a pace meltdown; first ride under rules for James Hills. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Landed a third Flat win when taking Hamilton amateur riders' handicap (1m5f, good) around a year ago; now 2lb lower but he's been soundly beaten on both starts this year (1m4f Catterick handicap, 1m7f Hexham handicap chase) and needs to stage a revival. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

Hurdle/Flat winner; wasn't at his best on the Flat following a break at Catterick last month but should come on for the run; conditions fine; quite interesting on chase debut. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Struggled in the spring for Andrew Balding and was sold for 2,000gns in July; tailed off on stable debut over C&D last month; visor goes on but can only be watched. |
66/1 |
|
8 (4) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who is well treated on his 2m AW handicap form for Andrew Balding in early 2024 but he struggled this spring and was sold for 2,000gns last month; plenty to prove on stable debut. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; now 6lb below his last winning mark but not easy to recommend after a heavy defeat over C&D one month ago. |
16/1 |
|

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; cheekpieces left off last time are back on and he needs to show improvement. |
