26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Didn't come off the bridle when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (2m Class 4, good) in June for his third win over hurdles; ran well when third over C&D subsequently (Indemnity second and a few of these rivals behind); latest Perth effort (fifth) was slightly underwhelming. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat racer who won three of his first four hurdling starts and was creditable third in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) on latest outing four weeks ago; not yet fully exposed over jumps; must be considered. |

3rd 10 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
1m4f winner who has gone 3-4 over hurdles for Tom Lacey and easily won on handicap debut last time at Southwell (good; second run in this headgear combination), albeit against only four rivals; up 8lb but has momentum behind him. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Doesn't always settle but his recent hurdles form features a comfortable win at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft); ran creditably at Catterick last time; possibilities, provided he takes well to fences. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ten wins, with seven on AW and three on turf; his last success was off 1lb lower at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June but he's been beaten 8l in both subsequent runs and needs a revival; cheekpieces reapplied. |
7/1 |

5th 7 (6) |
30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored off 2lb lower at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June and has claims if judged on that performance but ought to have been suited by return to Polytrack when unplaced favourite at Kempton (1m4f) 18 days ago, and the forecast rain may not aid his cause here. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Five-time course winner (1m-1m3f) who gained his third success on turf when winning under Billy Loughnane at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June; can't be dismissed back on the AW off this 2lb higher mark. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't jump well when a disappointing favourite at Fakenham (2m, good) last October on sole previous hurdle start; however, he's shown useful form when winning three times on the Flat this year and will be a serious force if able to transfer that ability to this code; trainer won this last year. |

3rd 2 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this season (1m4f-1m6f); bounced back from poor AW run when close second to Arqoob here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip; respected. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Runner-up on his last four appearances, losing out only by half a length over C&D on penultimate occasion; will be a tough nut to crack if new tongue-tie has any positive effect; cheekpieces (worn last time) are removed. |
11/4 |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Versatile type who has finished runner-up at Newmarket (1m), Southwell (1m6f) and Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last three starts; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back on Polytrack; cheekpieces reapplied. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Versatile as regards trip having finished runner-up at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in his last two starts; has gone back up 2lb but still hard to rule out; no headgear today. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; in good order this winter, including when midfield over C&D last week (met trouble on a few occasions); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and he should be in the thick of it once again. |

|
5th 2 (9) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Generally consistent; close second, finishing strongly from difficult position, in amateur riders' event at Kempton (6f) last week; respected off same mark back up in distance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Generally consistent, including over 6f (raced mainly at further); has made the frame at Southwell in three starts since returned to AW; won his last Kempton attempt (in late 2024); solid. |
