25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Showed improvement on her return when getting off the mark at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May, and followed up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) a week later; didn't fare too badly off 7lb higher when fourth of seven finishers at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) subsequently and may be worth another chance. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Arrives seeking a hat-trick following wins at Worcester (2m7f; 20-1) and Uttoxeter (2m4f; 11-4); carries a 7lb penalty for that latest win - 14lb higher than when the winning spree commenced - but every chance of going in again in a race of this nature. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-11 over hurdles but has finished second on two occasions; swaps cheekpieces for a first-time visor and steps up in trip; down to a career-low mark but vulnerable to improvers. |
10/1 |

5th 7 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-10 over hurdles but seemingly aided by tongue-tie on last two appearances, more recently when clear second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; competes off same mark here and enters calculations. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Consolidated rather than improved upon previous best efforts during last season, despite the addition of cheekpieces; remains on a tempting mark, but significant rain wouldn't be welcomed. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Pounced late at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February 2025; steadily working back after a lengthy absence, with his Uttoxeter third (2m4f) last time a creditable effort; stamina reserves untested over 3m. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Determined last-gasp Newcastle winner in February 2025 (2m1f, good to soft), and recent Hexham third on sole run since was much more promising than the 31l distance beaten might imply (rallied after late blunder); may be a case of whether this longer trip is within range now. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 |
9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo who returned from a layoff to open account at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February 2025; not seen since but may still have potential and can evidently go well when fresh. |

11st 9lb |
0-6; jumped left when fourth of seven at Uttoxeter (2m4f; 80-1, beaten 21l) in June; 4lb lower on third start for this trainer; may need more time, and rates as one of the least likely candidates. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Career already subject to two significant interruptions, and offered little in a debuted tongue-tie when starting out for current connections here last month (2m7f, good). |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Lightly raced mare who signed off for the Newland/Insole stable with a remote second of four in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Newcastle last February; needs to hit the ground running for her new yard; tongue-tie added. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May but may not have stayed 2m4f when below that form last month; tongue-tie is fitted and this drop back in trip could see him in a better light. |
10/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Better round of jumping inspired a major uplift on last month's handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, good), shaping as if this longer trip might give him more chance of defying a still ungenerous-looking mark. |

Runner-up in a bumper for former Irish yard; three heavy defeats in four runs for current one and was tailed off on handicap debut; has since had a wind operation and now goes in cheekpieces. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Last month's staying-on 5l fourth in a 2m novice here was given a boost by the third at Southwell two days ago; this is a handy initial mark set against his bumper best; kept almost exclusively to good ground so far. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Runner-up in good-ground Perth bumper for an Irish stable last summer but did not get seriously competitive in two novice hurdles for Stuart Edmonds towards end of last season; significant improvement required. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Exeter in October but has been poor since, including when pulled up and tailed off on two starts this summer; has become well treated and is capable if in the mood, but he's not without risk. |
25/1 |

7th 1 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
The consistency of his summer 2024 campaign has long deserted him, the return to the mark of October's Exeter win (2m2f, good to firm) owed to three poor runs since; others convince more. |
25/1 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won in a small field at Exeter (2m2f, good to firm) in October but holding his form is becoming troublesome; risky enough. |
10/1 |
