29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive for new stable since the autumn, collecting four wins (2m-2m1f, good-heavy) along the way; below form when tried over 2m5f last week (no headgear) but was fourth in last month's Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces; refitted today) and is now 2lb lower. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Interesting he was still staying on into fourth (about 23l ahead of Letterston Lily) at the end of a generously run Summer Hurdle last time, though remains untried beyond a sharp 2m4f; 7lb higher mark than for June's easy 2m1f win here leaves him with almost nothing in hand. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |

Contrasting performances at Newton Abbot last month, winning well but then finishing last of four; cheekpieces fitted for this much tougher test. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Veteran who may still be up to winning races, having found only one rival too good at Fakenham (2m) last time; fighting chance off same mark. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Losing streak nearing three years, and he folded pretty quickly after a mistake at Doncaster latest; 19lb lower than when well held in this race in 2023, but wouldn't be certain he could capitalise. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Half-brother to stablemate Fransham who won this race in 2019 and 2020; his own five hurdle wins include one over C&D in October 2021 and he's now 20lb lower, but it's been a downward spiral since and he was tailed off on reappearance at Market Rasen (9-1) 18 days ago. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Formerly with Alan King; creditable second at Warwick on latest hurdles start (2m, good) and has since finished third in a 1m4f handicap at Salisbury; stable debut; each-way chance. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
All five wins over hurdles have been at 2m; hasn't won since his return to action in October and ran poorly when eighth of nine finishers at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; handicapper is at last relenting but his best chance of success in the short-term may be back at 2m. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 5-23 over hurdles and placed a few times as well; a bit up and down this season but ran respectably in the new blinkers at Fakenham last time and now regular cheekpieces return over a longer trip that may suit him better. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Short-headed when upped in trip at Ayr (2m, good) last month on his second stable start before winning here (2m, good); he's just 1lb higher than last time and could have more to offer over staying distances; respected. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two solid efforts for new stable, latterly beaten a short head into second at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; twice a winner over hurdles but this will be the first time he has tackled 2m on the Flat. |
4/1 |

Placed over hurdles this season and was third (albeit no match for wide-margin winner) in Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) when back on the Flat for new stable last month; respected off same mark in this easier race. |

Flat/hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien; pulled up in two hurdle runs for his new stable and hard to know what to expect now back on the Flat. |

Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year; 12-1, pulled up in a Fakenham handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, now removed) on stable debut in March; best watched. |
