20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won a valuable handicap hurdle at Galway last time (2m1f, good to yielding), under a good ride by today's jockey; that was a sixth hurdles win but none of those has ever come off a mark this high; not a surefire candidate to follow up. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |
11st 5lb |
Four of his five wins came in Britain, with three at Cartmel; posted a solid run at Ballinrobe last time and should run well again off 1lb higher. |

Has recorded three of his five hurdle starts at Cartmel; below his best there last time; overall Irish form is unconvincing. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Returns to fences following a convincing win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) nine days ago; only 2lb higher than when landing his sole success in this sphere (in November 2024) and must be considered while in winning mode. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Exposed four-time winner over hurdles but now 2lb below the mark he defied here last summer; could be sharper for his recent run after a break and Sean Bowen replaces a 10lb claimer. |
100/30 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles but exposed and was performing no more than okay when last seen in November; however, he could be all the better for a break and he's on his last winning mark. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Close second at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bounced back from Ascot blip when third at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) recently, albeit soundly beaten by the first two; the step back up in trip might help and he's a possible player if conditions suit; unproven on soft ground. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Unproven on soft ground and tailed off at Ascot last time, although that was in a hot Class 2; went close in Class 3 at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago and not ruled out now back down in grade. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Quite useful on the Flat; only hurdles win was an Ayr novice back in 2024 (good) but he ran a sound race on third start for Adam Nicol when clear second at Kelso ten days ago (2m5f, good); worth considering. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 2 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
8yo who has been tailed off on the Flat on his first two starts for this yard and needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, getting back on better ground can help and he's on a competitive mark on last year's best hurdle form; might not be a forlorn hope. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his old Flat form and there were bits of fair form over hurdles since for the Russell/Scudamore yard; 310 days off, however, before tailed-off last at Hamilton (1m4f) on Flat return five weeks ago; cheekpieces (tried twice in 2024) return but he looks best watched for now. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who won Worcester maiden (2m, good) on stable debut in July and was respectable third of six from out of the weights in Perth handicap (2m, good) last month; effectively 4lb lower from correct mark here and promising conditional Lewis Sanuders claims a useful 7lb; could have a say. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ordinary Flat winner in Ireland and was 0-21 there over jumps (including 12 defeats over fences); came good on yard debut in a maiden at Worcester (in none of the aids he sported for former connections) and could build on that; 3lb wrong at the weights. |
3/1 |

1st 3 |
24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1-35 under all codes when based in Ireland, the win gained on the Flat in 2022; placed in a low-grade handicap chase this spring and the pick of his 2023 hurdling form gives him a good chance on these terms; interesting to see what Olly Murphy can do with him. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win on the Flat since 2021, but he's on a reduced mark and did best of the rest behind an emphatic winner over C&D two weeks ago; was strong in the market for that race and has each-way claims again. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win on the Flat since 2021 and he came in only ninth of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap 23 days ago; others appeal more. |
9/1 |
|
9th 7 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent hurdler who returned to the Flat with respectable fourth (just behind Penelope's Sister) over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower today and might be better suited by the slightly slower ground; each-way claims at least. |
