1st 3 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner who landed a 2m1f chase in May; failed to repeat that form when well held the following month but back over hurdles off a 6lb lower mark and can play a part if back on song. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Dual winner over hurdles and made a winning chase debut at Bangor (2m1f, good) four weeks ago; that race did fall apart with none of his rivals running their races and he has been whacked up 10lb as a result; that should still have given his confidence a boost. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Productive autumn included a Carlisle hurdles win (2m1f, good) off 4lb lower; two flops either side of a late fall since March, however, and doesn't enter this chasing debut in the same good heart as some. |

2nd 4 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Started off for Sarah Humphrey with two disappointing hurdle runs in the autumn but has turned things around over fences since, and kept on well to win by 7l at Huntingdon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; recent 6lb rise demands more from him here, though. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
All three wins over hurdles when trained in Ireland; running well at present and second of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) last month; threatening to get his head in front for this yard. |

3rd 3 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3-4 under Liam Harrison, gaining this year's Newcastle (good to soft) and Huntingdon (good) hurdles wins from the front but earlier bumper and point gains came under patient tactics; no chasers in immediate pedigree but his mark looks about right for this chasing/handicap debut. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Soft-ground 2m4f point winner who landed a valuable Kelso bumper for this yard; off the mark over hurdles on third attempt when taking Newcastle maiden (2m1f, good to soft) in January but pulled up on handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) last month; drops back in distance here and warrants another chance. |
9/4 |
|
3 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Soft-ground 2m4f British point winner who landed a valuable Kelso bumper for this yard; off the mark on third hurdle start when taking Newcastle maiden (2m1f, also good to soft) seven weeks ago; up in trip and carries plenty of potential into this handicap debut. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up here a month ago; opposable at this level. |
40/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all, winning unchallenged in a Catterick claimer (2m, good) in March, changing hands for £12,000; failed to beat a rival on the Flat at Southwell (1m3f) on first start for this trainer the following month, and pulled up on chase debut next time; returning to hurdles is a sensible move. |
8/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Can do too much in front but no alarms when making all in a Catterick claiming hurdle for Jennie Candlish in March (1m7f, good); out of a half-sister to a minor chase winner, but not bred for this job otherwise. |

3rd 3 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
2-7 over hurdles for Dan Skelton before being sold for £5,000 after bleeding from the nose and pulling up on chase debut at Bangor in May; made a satisfactory start for this stable when runner-up to Tellherthename at Uttoxeter two weeks ago but is 4lb out of the weights here. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Dan Skelton last November; pulled up on his chase debut after reported to have bled from the nose at Bangor four weeks ago and subsequently sold for £5,000; regular hood is left off on stable debut and best to proceed with caution. |
8/1 |
|
5 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made all for two good-ground novice hurdle wins last November (2m, 2m3f); lesser form this year likely more to do with a refusal to settle under restraint than the move to handicaps, but a return to previous tactics may put him in a pace battle with a few here; chasers in pedigree. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Competitive in handicap hurdles but he's not bred for fences and unseated early on his first attempt at Bangor (2m1f, good; 8-1); likely best watched on the back of that. |
10/1 |
|
6 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Run of progressive hurdling RPRs halted by an unsuccessful step up to 2m7f back in January; not bred for fences and needs to prove able to translate his better work back to good ground, but trip more suitable again. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles but posted some good efforts in Ireland last summer and was close fourth on stable debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in November; contender if stamina holds out on this first venture beyond 2m3f. |
12/1 |
