5th 7 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Has registered his hurdles/chase wins in Class 4, including comfortably at Bangor (2m1f) last time when looking better than ever; something to prove in this better grade but receives weight all round and could go well in current form. |

1st 5 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Ludlow (2m4f, good to firm) last October and has been placed on all five starts since; drops back in trip which may not be in his favour. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made the breakthrough over fences in a Ludlow handicap (2m4f, good to firm) in October; that was a four-runner race but he's been placed in four runs since including when runner-up at Chepstow (2m7f) 11 days ago; should go well again and all of his wins have been on good/good to firm. |

6th 7 (3) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Front-runner who won when back on the Flat at Chester (1m4f, good) in July, then finished second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) before getting back on the scoresheet at Chester (1m4f, soft); Chester brings out the best in him but no surprise to see a bold bid on his first visit here. |
9/2 |

1st 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual-purpose 8yo; runner-up in a division of this last year (on good to soft) under Jonathan Burke and a C&D winner in July (good; 1lb lower); readily outpointed when second at Brighton last month but remains in good form. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Versatile 8yo who ran well in two chases this spring and returned to the Flat with game win from the front at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and can make another bold bid here. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Respectable efforts on both previous course visits, including a close fourth in this in 2024; weighted to strike, but must prove that the effects of the cheekpieces aren't on the wane after a sub-par latest effort. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice over fences at around this trip last spring; not so good since but is 1lb lower than his last winning mark so cannot be ruled out. |

|
3rd 2 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice last spring at about this trip but essentially underwhelming since, albeit in better races than this; the drop in class should be welcomed. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
In reasonably good form, having made the frame in last three starts; only 1-14 for current yard but is attractively treated; clear second off 6lb higher in this contest last year; enters calculations. |

3rd 4 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
On a good mark and best run for a while when a rallying 2l third behind Getaway Jewel in another qualifier for this series at Worcester (good) latest; player. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Now 1lb lower than when winning at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last summer but has not been at his best this season, and was behind Getaway Jewel when fourth at Cartmel last month; needs to up his game. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won four times over fences last term but was tailed off on his return to action here (2m, good) last month; switches back to hurdles for the first time in 12 months and needs to rediscover his mojo. |
8/1 |

5th 3 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has taken well to fences and is 4-8 in this sphere; returns from a break and this front-runner may be hard to pass if he is ready to roll. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has taken well to fences and completed a three-timer at Catterick in January; resumed winning ways at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and this front-runner may prove hard to peg back. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Off the mark over fences on third attempt, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last week when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; headgear retained; less exposed as a chaser than his rival. |
10/11 |

5th 1 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
After winning an Exeter maiden in October (2m2f, good to firm) he wasn't beaten far under a penalty at Ascot (good), albeit in a small field; back over hurdles now after failing to take to fences; probably on a realistic mark. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Last year's winner (same mark); campaigned over hurdles thereafter; fell at the first back over fences at Bangor in May; weakened on return from wind surgery (beaten 33l) when fourth of five (Dream Diamond third) at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago; risky. |
3/1 |
|
4th 2 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has five wins over fences, the last one at Sedgefield (2m, good) last September off 5lb lower; had three runs over hurdles subsequently and fell at the first on his return to chasing in May; has had his fourth bout of wind surgery since and probably best watched for now. |
