17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
He's won twice under Rebecca Hitchen, most recently when reverting to hurdles and defying a first-flight blunder at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; just 3lb higher today and in the mix if producing another good run. |
4/1 |

1st 5 |
29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Modest fifth over hurdles at Cartmel in July and a similar story back on the Flat twice since; Rebecca Hitchen's 10lb claim is helpful from a handicapping perspective. |

Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March; mainly in good form subsequently but not at his best when sixth of seven in 1m6f handicap here last month; the sort to bounce back. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June and a case can be made on that form but this 8yo has been well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Haydock only last Friday. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at York last time; now drops back in grade but he has something to prove again after a break. |

Back to form in refitted cheekpieces lately and has been placed on her last three starts; should be thereabouts once again. |

2nd 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back in form since returned to cheekpieces of late, latterly when beaten a nose by Belle Of Kt at Bath a fortnight ago; 6lb better off with her old rival and her last win came round here off 3lb higher, so there are reasons for optimism. |
8/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Seven wins at up to 1m4f; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over this far and not very reliable nowadays but gave pretty good account when third in refitted cheekpieces here (11.6f, firm) 16 days ago. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 5 |

It's now 13 outings since his last victory and he beat only one in 1m6f Wolverhampton handicap (AW) for his new yard last month; others appeal more. |
33/1 |

6th 5 (7) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins came over 1m2f on turf in the summer of 2024, but he was only beaten a neck over this C&D in February and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims if able to recapture that form. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Went close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) for Alan King in February but dropped out quite tamely on recent stable debut (2m, AW) and this shorter trip may not be ideal for him nowadays. |

10st 2lb |
Landed his third win at this track (1m4f) in May; takes a significant drop in trip after beating only one home at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) last month; may be best to wait until he steps back up in distance. |
10/1 |

Third start for new yard when winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) under Grace Littmoden in May; 4lb rise fair enough and the return to turf shouldn't be a problem back from a short break; shortlisted. |

9st 10lb |
Recorded his sixth win when swooping late to justify support at Chester (10.3f, good to soft) two weeks ago; up 3lb but remains feasibly treated on his best form and two of his wins have come on Tapeta; key player. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |

Five-time winner; yet to strike in 2026 but he retains all his ability and only went down narrowly behind Zambezi Magic at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; 4lb better off for a neck today; one of the likelier ones. |

Won six times on the Flat for James Owen between 1m-1m2f; 0-4 over hurdles although he was in the process of running a good race until making a costly error two out on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) in June; makes stable debut and should run well. |

Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who finished runner-up in two of his six starts on turf in Ireland last summer (both over this trip), but failed to beat a rival on stable debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; something to prove. |

Second at Killarney (1m6f) last summer in two of three Irish handicaps for John Joseph Murphy, trying cheekpieces when short-headed on latest outing (good); off 210 days but this lightly raced AW newcomer needs a second look. |
