22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Nothing special over hurdles but made an immediate impact over fences, scoring at this track (2m, good; 28-1) last month; unable to replicate that form when beaten 47l over the same C&D three weeks ago and needs to bounce back on this step back up in trip. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Cut little ice in a handful of runs over hurdles but this Irish point runner-up was much improved on his chasing debut when a 28-1 winner of nine-runner handicap over C&D two weeks ago; up 5lb but open to progress, so he's a player. |

0-6 over hurdles, having been well beaten in three handicaps this spring (2m1f-2m4f; cheekpieces added last time); last year's Irish point second offers a ray of hope on this chasing debut but it still takes a big leap of faith to support him. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; runner-up on two of his three chasing attempts this spring but was no match for the winner at Fontwell (2m2f, good) last time and others in this line-up have more compelling form. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |

10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at the third attempt, making most at Hereford (2m, good); jumped to her left that day but to her right when beaten 4l at Worcester since; still ran well and she's in the mix. |
3/1 |

3rd 9 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at third attempt, making virtually all at good pace at Hereford (2m, good) six weeks ago, despite jumping slightly left throughout; 4lb higher here but this switch to an anti-clockwise track looks the right move. |
5/1 |

1st 9 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences. |

12st 0lb |
0-11 under rules but made an encouraging start over fences when beaten a short-head here (2m1f, good to firm) in May; fourth of five finishers at Worcester (2m, good) last month but may be worth another chance back here. |
9/2 |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

0-9 in points and 0-9 over hurdles but returned from 314-day break with very close second to progressive subsequent winner on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm); obvious contender if in similar form here. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |

0-9 in points (completed only three times) and has same strike-rate over hurdles; gave a fairly good account when fifth of 15 at Worcester (2m, good) last July but this chasing debut comes after a 314-day absence. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Triple hurdle winner who is 0-8 over fences but he's on a dangerous mark and wasn't beaten far when third at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) on penultimate run; has possibilities if he can get back near that level and yard is in good form; wore blinkers last time but regular cheekpieces now return. |
11/2 |

5th 7 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Back from break with three respectable runs this spring, perhaps most notably when third of five at Market Rasen (2m1f, good); now 0-7 over fences, though, and probably needs today's headgear switch (blinkers instead of cheekpieces) to give him a boost. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Not at his best at Stratford 11 days ago and now 0-6 over fences but he had returned from a break with a pretty good third over C&D (good) last month and his current mark is workable. |

Better of two chase runs for Stuart Crawford in the winter when second of four at Ayr (2m, soft); also suited by good ground but was tailed off when back over hurdles for new stable six weeks ago (had wind op soon afterwards); needs to bounce back. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Showed promise on five starts over hurdles, making the frame on three occasions, and took a clear step forward from chase debut when finishing a close second at Ayr (2m, soft) in January; has since left Stuart Crawford for 6,500gns and now returns to hurdles on a workable mark. |

Runner-up here (2m4f, good) on chasing debut in September and also placed at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) the following month; dropped out tamely after making a lot of the running at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, but may have needed that run and will presumably be ridden positively again over this shorter trip; interesting. |

Front-runner who won three times (once over C&D) last spring; pulled up over fences at Worcester last month but her second there in May was a fairly good effort and she reverts to hurdling on a workable mark. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Won three handicap hurdles within the space of four runs last year (all at 2m on goodish ground) and the last of those was off this mark; may have needed the run last time after a break and showed some aptitude for fences when an 18l third at Uttoxeter in October. |

Won a bumper in spring 2025 but has made a disappointing start to her jumping career; all three handicap runs were over fences, with two non-completions sandwiching a 33l defeat; reverts to hurdling with quite a bit to prove. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Bumper winner; still unexposed after only six runs but fell on chase/handicap debut in April and was about 27l behind Auntie Maggie when fourth of five over C&D (good) three weeks ago; needs new tongue-tie to enable improvement. |
14/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Won a bumper but beaten between 23l and 46l over hurdles (2m); 28-1 for last month's chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) where she was still in touch when falling five out; there was still a long way to go but this looks an even weaker race. |
