16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Useful bumper winner for Ben Brookhouse; still lightly raced and runner-up in both his handicaps, only narrowly failing to justify market support last time here over 2m; only 3lb higher and should stay this far; has been held up in recent races. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful bumper winner for Ben Brookhouse; brought along steadily for current yard before much improved on his handicap debut with second of 11 at Southwell (2m) 22 days ago, running on strongly late on having had a lot to do; big player with better to come. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Regressive Flat maiden who, for the second time this year, refused to race on the AW nine days ago; has the ability to feature off this mark over hurdles (0-6) but far too risky. |
8/1 |
|
12 (3) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made fairly encouraging handicap debut over C&D (good) last month and his recent fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (2m, good) was also respectable; needs to find something extra today, though. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-11 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles; made a fairly encouraging handicap hurdle debut when sixth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good) this month, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces here. |
7/1 |

6th 4 |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Modest maiden on Flat and a similar story over hurdles, all maidens; handicaps are now a better option but he's unconvincing. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Much more competitive since switched to handicaps for last two runs, more recently when second (albeit no match for winner) at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) in June; upped in trip again here; likely contender. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 10 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed little in three hurdle runs last year but returned from a break with a more encouraging effort when fifth on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good) recently; needs another step forward but has place claims. |
20/1 |
|
5th 11 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three maiden hurdles last August/September and makes handicap debut after a 255-day absence; 2lb wrong; of interest only if attracting market support. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Maiden (0-10); much better lately, giving a well-backed Skelton runner plenty to think about at Uttoxeter (2m, good); raised 4lb since but a reproduction of that effort could prove good enough. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 11 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Unplaced all seven hurdling starts but was prominent in the betting for all four handicaps and held third place before last-flight unseat over C&D (good) nine days ago; may yet have a bigger run in him. |
5/1 |
|
11 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Has tended to race too freely and has been well held in all three handicap starts despite attracting market support, including after wind surgery; should be capable of better and this is a modest contest but he still needs to learn to settle. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Irish point winner in spring 2024; well beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice/maiden hurdles in 2024-25 season (2m-2m4f) but two of those were good-quality races at Cheltenham; makes handicap debut after a long absence but remains unexposed and is worth a glance in the betting. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Well beaten over 2m on last month's stable debut, after a layoff, and did not achieve a great deal when last of five finishers (albeit not beaten that far) over 2m5f 12 days ago; not yet exposed after only six starts but needs improvement over this new trip. |
12/1 |

5th 4 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Bled in her final two races for Dan Skelton and was 100-1 when beaten a distance on yard debut in a 2m handicap hurdle at Southwell (good), albeit after a year off; chance hinges on this longer trip making all the difference and her pedigree offers hope. |
13/2 |
|
9th 6 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Bled from the nose on final two starts for Dan Skelton, latterly when pulled-up 66-1 shot on handicap debut just under a year ago; now with Christian Williams (same owner); others have much less to prove. |

10st 6lb |
Four Flat wins (at around 1m2f) in Ireland; 0-18 over hurdles, the latest, a Market Rasen fifth (2m2.5f; numerous hurdles omitted owing to the low sun), is muddling form. |
14/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

Flat winner but a longstanding maiden over hurdles and arrives here in no form; 4lb out of the weights. |

Made solid start to handicap career when close third of eight at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month and any improvement on that performance will give him a good shout here. |
