19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did well for Tom Lacey in early part of last season, winning three times over hurdles, and reappeared with fairly encouraging chase debut in May; failed to build on that when well-held fourth over C&D last month but still enters calculations in this lower grade. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Much improved for Tom Lacey last season when a three-time 2m hurdles winner; off six months and made a promising start in this sphere with third of five in 2m1f handicap at Stratford 32 days ago, running on late under a patient ride; one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Largely consistent 7yo who made a successful return to fences over C&D three weeks ago under Chad Bament, with first-time blinkers seemingly having a positive effect; goes up in class off a 7lb higher mark but there could still be more to come if the headgear continues to work. |
9/4 |

1st 3 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Last success came over hurdles in October 2024; 0-5 when tried over fences this time last year; regularly makes the frame and his followers will be hoping that first-time blinkers have a galvanising effect; the drop back in trip may not be in his favour though. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Second of two wins over hurdles came over C&D in October 2024; has been a beaten favourite eight times since and not one to have maximum faith with. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |
9/4 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Holds poor claims on Flat/jumps form this year for new stable and was beaten 32l when a 66-1 shot over C&D 11 days ago; cheekpieces replace visor; opposable. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won on the Flat (2m, good to firm) and over hurdles (2m2f, good) last summer but he's been tailed off in all completed starts under both codes this year; has a lot to prove and he needs a major revival back on the Flat. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
6yo who has improved markedly since switched to fences and made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) in August; winning sequence ended just five days later, when the race may have come too soon, but he's had a break since and could bounce back; respected. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
6yo who has been a big improver since switched to fences and he made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and he's unbeaten in three chase runs at at Newton Abbot; strong contender. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Hat-trick (2m-extended 2m3f) before the break included two C&D wins in July, latest when scoring convincingly off an 8lb lower mark and the runner-up has run well since; this mark demands more but he's thriving and a bold bid can be expected for the four-timer. |

9st 0lb |
Resumed from a layoff in good nick, her stamina carrying the day over 1m on comeback before a solid effort off her revised mark over C&D last time; one to consider under Billy Loughnane in first-time headgear. |

Far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but just did enough to cause 22-1 surprise on recent seasonal debut at Salisbury (1m, good to firm; front pair clear), and could be seen to even better effect now back up in trip. |

5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who won twice at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) and once over hurdles in the spring; up another 4lb on this return to the Flat and may not be allowed his own way this time. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Carried the good cheer of a successful spell on the Tapeta back across to hurdles at Fakenham latest (3m, good), winning as he pleased; 8lb rise looks about right, and has stamina to spare down in trip. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |

0-5 over hurdles, having been pulled up in both handicaps last year (2m1f/2m3f), but returns to this code after two 1m6f AW wins this spring and is evidenty in good nick; tries a new trip; likely contender. |

0-8 over hurdles and twice disappointing since a third of six at Newton Abbot in September (2m1f, good to soft); wouldn't be the obvious answer on this switch to fences. |

0-7 and down the field at Taunton in November last time, but looked stretched by 2m3f; prior to that he ran okay when third of six at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); might have each-way chance now back down in trip. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Very opposable on this season's exploits but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point; worth checking the betting. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made disappointing start to chasing career this season (three attempts) and reverted to hurdling with a heavy defeat and a fall last month; lurks on a good mark but needs to turn a corner. |
