18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who was second in a Cheltenham handicap last October on final jumps run; 2lb lower now and he was a recent 2m winner at Newmarket; should go well. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time hurdles winner whose first Flat success came on Southwell AW (1m6f) in January; has kept his form pretty well, including over 2m, and is considered seriously in this small field despite having had just two races (2025) on Flat turf. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Registered a first Flat win when scoring over C&D in January and it was a creditable effort when chasing home St Faz at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) six days ago; work to do if he's to turn the tables but still one of the more likely ones. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work. |

Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |

In good form until a below-par sixth of eight in 1m7f handicap at Ayr 20 days ago; the sort to bounce back. |

6th 4 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Without a win since 2023 but had a solid AW campaign before staying on for close third in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) on turf return in April; should be fine over today's longer trip; can make her presence felt. |
10/1 |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the best of win records (1-26 but 0-10 on turf); only win was over 1m2f on AW back in 2023; sound third at Pontefract with first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance last month (1m4f, good to soft); stays 1m6f but below her best three previous tries at 2m. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner, mostly on AW and at 1m6f-2m, including C&D; 1lb higher than when scoring here in February; not quite as good in two subsequent starts but looks a player back up in trip and with the same claimer up as for that most recent success. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a 2m AW hat-trick over the winter and she posted another good effort with second of five in 1m4f handicap at Epsom in April; that form has been well advertised since so she's not taken lightly eased 1lb after a break. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Ex-Irish mare who secured an AW hat-trick once upped to 2m across December and January but suffered odds-on reversal when dropped to 1m6f in bid for the four-timer; drops further in trip returned to turf (had form on grass in Ireland) on this first start for three months; others more persuasive. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (7) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 3-3 since upped to 2m, most recently scoring readily at Lingfield last week; incurs 5lb penalty but Jude Fernandes takes off 7lb; ran well over C&D prior to the hat-trick; progressing well on AW and commands respect. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Better expected last time, after two poor efforts and back to the visor from cheekpieces, but ran below market expectations in finishing behind Merrijig; 2lb better off today but has work to do if he's to turn things round. |

4th 5 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win last August came off an 8lb higher mark; the booking of Billy Loughnane will draw some in, back to the visor worn for his two AW victories, but two poor efforts on turf lately will need overlooking. |

10th 4 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't kick on once switched to the Flat following initial promise in bumpers for Brian Ellison; sold for 6,000gns since last run; out of a Listed winner over this sort of trip, but new yard does most of its winning in handicaps. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Placed in bumpers on his first two starts but he's yet to really threaten in this sphere; dropped 2lb since finishing down the field over C&D on his handicap debut 83 days ago and now has cheekpieces applied. |

7th 2 (9) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Hereford in May and followed up on the Flat over this C&D (good to firm); it's disconcerting he was pulled up on his chase debut at Stratford three weeks ago but he may well bounce back and play a leading role reverting to this code. |
10/11 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |

Made all over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good) last month and followed up on the Flat 17 days ago; not bred for fences but evidently in good nick; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on chasing debut. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Hurdle/bumper winner (won 2m novice handicap hurdle on latest outing), but perhaps not as effective on the Flat, although was beaten only 1.75l when third of seven off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February (1m6f); a possible. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Below par on the AW this year and again failed to fire when last of five on the Flat at Carlisle (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; however, his earlier fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, good) was more encouraging and gives him a chance of making the frame now down in trip. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |
