8th 11 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Had a hurdles win in spring 2025 and 2026; ten-race maiden on Flat but placed in four of his five attempts this year, including three times over C&D; had wind surgery after latest but firmly in the mix if all is okay. |
9/2 |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Had a hurdles win in spring 2025 and 2026; 0-9 on Flat but two C&D seconds early this year put him in the picture. |
6/1 |

In winning form over hurdles this spring and he posted a good third of nine in C&D handicap last month; enters calculations. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat three weeks ago and now 0-13 since joining Iain Jardine but was second to Alvesta over C&D (good) on latest hurdling start and is also suited by slower ground; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Did well to finish third after stumbling at the start at Carlisle (1m1f, good) last month and has since run well over hurdles; no issue with track, trip or ground conditions and has possibilities for a trainer who has won this three times since 2021. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bought for £7,500 out of Olly Murphy's yard in July; resumes hurdling off the mark of his 3l Ffos Las second in the spring (2m, good), but signs of temperament since then over jumps and on the Flat. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on AW for Marco Botti; scored over hurdles last September; all but refused to race when trailing in last of four at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) on Monday; one to have serious reservations about at present. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has been running well over hurdles and this dual AW winner hasn't had many Flat chances on turf (0-3); on a competitive mark and Hugh Horgan takes off 5lb. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive since fitted with a tongue-tie in June, winning twice over 2m on good ground; posted another good effort when placed at Worcester (2m, good) last month; player if suited by the extra distance here. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Tongue-tied for last three races only; won here in June and went in again at Uttoxeter with a battling display off 4lb lower; essentially 1lb higher here with Toby McCain-Mitchell able to claim; solid chance. |
11/4 |
|
1st 7 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
It was only a Class 5 he won at Worcester (2m, good) but that was straightforward in the new tongue-tie and he ran fairly well off a 6lb rise in a small-field Class 3 at Newton Abbot; travels strongly and well worth considering down 1lb. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
2-6 in cheekpieces for new stable since the summer, having won at Musselburgh (2m, good) and over hurdles; fourth in good-quality handicap hurdle last month and this return to Tapeta won't be a problem; ought to make his presence felt. |
9/1 |
|
4th 11 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Ex-Jedd O'Keeffe; campaigned on the Flat (3218) by this trainer until returning to hurdles with a bang in Class 4 at Perth (2m, good; won by just over 2l, 15-2); 6lb higher in a more competitive contest but, as the Morebattle Hurdle has shown, this trainer isn't fazed by aiming high. |
9/1 |

1st 5 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Disappointed on the Flat a fortnight ago but had been in good form in that sphere for new stable beforehand, most notably when winning over 2m two starts ago; reverts to hurdling on a good mark; high on the list. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Changed stables earlier in the season and has won twice since, both at Worcester (2m, good); not at the top of his game when fourth at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago but he was ridden more patiently than usual and is better than that; could be a contender. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 |
25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Prevailed in three-way photo-finish (that also involved Al Mootamarid) to win over C&D (good) on stable debut in July and added to his tally in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; might be a shade vulnerable after latest 4lb rise but can given another good account. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Narrowly won a handicap at Worcester on stable debut and only 3l away back there two weeks ago; less to prove than some in here and should have a say. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made the frame in four of his six chases for the Greenall/Guerriero stable last season and reverts to hurdling for new yard on a workable mark but others appeal more all the same; tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two seconds and a third over fences for this yard, from 2m to 2m4f; had a couple of blips as well but he was too free last time at Southwell and now goes in cheekpieces (tongue tied last time); possibilities. |
3/1 |
|
6 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Just one blip in four starts for this yard and it was a solid effort when third of 11 at Ayr (about 2m, soft) three weeks ago; previously twice a runner-up over this sort of trip and now the tongue-tie goes on; respected. |
