22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In fine form after blinkers were added in early summer, winning at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) and Hexham (3m, good), before disappointing at Market Rasen last month when reportedly unsuited by the track; retains chase potential and could prove up to this mark if bouncing back. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
6yo who made it 4-10 over fences when completing a double with his late thrust at Hexham (3m, good) last month; up 3lb but he's been as good as ever in his last two starts and he's strong stayer as this trip; key player. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to open chasing account at Sedgefield (2m1f, good; also suited by soft) in March and was still in good form when last seen in the spring; resumes on career-high mark but sports refitted cheekpieces and has a fighting chance if fully tuned up. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and placed on last two starts, most recently runner-up at Kelso (2m1f, good) last week; the step back up in trip poses a question but he's a leading player if seeing it out. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two wins at Sedgefield last season, the second a 2m1f handicap chase (good); went up 6lb for that and was put up another 7lb for finishing 4l third from 8lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month (2m, soft); could go well despite that rise. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 under rules but ran his best race over fences when runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good) eight days ago in first-time visor (retained) when attempting to make all; 3lb higher in future chases and should run well. |
100/30 |

2nd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Still unexposed under rules and was seemingly aided by new cheekpieces when second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was well held when third at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now tries a visor; forecast rain probably not ideal. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who was in and out last season but returned to form when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in March last time; could have a part to play if conditions are suitable (he's unraced on good ground under rules). |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
His sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off 2lb higher; didn't offer a great deal once headed when third at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month in a first-time visor (retained) but has dropped to a career-low mark with Sean Bowen on board so all is not lost. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Didn't jump well when pulled up in first-time blinkers at Plumpton last November when last seen; however, he was in good form previously in cheekpieces and they go back on today; could have a big say. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Two chase wins, the first over 2m5f here (soft) in December, the second at Huntingdon in May (2m7f, good to firm; four ran); decent third at Market Rasen last time; one with a chance. |

3rd 7 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Beat three rivals in a handicap chase at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to firm) in May; however, modest last run and his good days are few and far between. |
7/1 |
|
6th 11 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Bounced back to form to cause 14-1 surprise in four-runner chase at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to firm) in May and is still on a workable mark after 2lb nudge but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again. |
