30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful hurdler for Ben Pauling, winning two of his ten starts; has quickly found his feet back over fences with back-to-back small-field wins, the latest with ease at Uttoxeter 17 days ago; up 6lb and may face a sterner test from Captain Cool but still the one to beat. |

1st 1 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Ben Pauling; not disgraced in either the County Hurdle or the Swinton for his new trainer this year and made a winning return to fences when finishing alone at Cartmel (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; that win should have done his confidence a world of good and he should take all the beating. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Both wins came at Huntingdon when trained by Ben Pauling; made his stable debut in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, when not beaten far, and he wasn't disgraced when hooded and held up out the back in the Swinton at Haydock (favourite) two weeks ago; this will feel like a drop in the ocean in comparison and, although turned over at a short price last October in his only chase, he should make light work of these two rivals on his return to fences. |

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 |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three times (2m2f, 2m4f) when trained in Ireland last summer; unplaced in three valuable handicap hurdles (2m4f-2m7f) for new trainer this spring; the drop back in trip for his chasing debut may not be in his favour. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 7lb |
Won three consecutive handicaps last summer up to 2m4f for Donncha Duggan; some fine runs in defeat after including since switched to this yard; has to prove he stays this trip. |
28/1 |
|
7th 18 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent results in Ireland this term featured three summer wins; not disgraced with midfield finish at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on debut for new stable but needs to improve on that bare form. |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Won twice over hurdles at Taunton over 2m3f for previous yard; after a promising chase debut at Aintree in October he took a backward step at Exeter the following month; returns from a seven-month break with new trainer but may need to go back up in trip to find a winning opportunity. |

4th 3 |
26th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 176y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who came good over hurdles with two 2m3f wins at Taunton (good to soft/soft) last winter; absent since 2m4f second at Sandown in February but should cope with the drop back in trip on this chasing debut and has some Irish pointing experience to call upon. |
7/2 |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won readily on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) and again had something to spare there (2m3f, soft) nine days later, when unpenalised; hit with 8lb rise but this unexposed 6yo could still be well treated. |
