22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran his best race for a while when 8l third of six at Worcester (2m, good) and effectively 3lb lower today; not discounted but this longstanding maiden has a patchy profile and needs to back up that latest effort. |

3rd 6 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-20 under rules and 0-22 in points; well beaten back over hurdles this summer and pulled up returned to fences at Fontwell (2m6f, good) last week; drops in trip but hard to recommend from out of the weights. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-22 in points and 0-19 under rules; not favoured by the weights when well beaten in two novice hurdles this summer and has more realistic chance to get competitive in this race but still makes only limited appeal. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Showed no significant promise in three maiden/novice hurdles this season (2m-2m5f) but makes handicap debut from a basement mark and with new cheekpieces fitted; has more realistic chance to get competitive this time. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Struggled when a 200-1 outsider for first two hurdle runs, the latter over C&D three weeks ago. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made an encouraging start on bumper debut last March, but has gone backwards since and was tailed off on all three subsequent starts; offered little on last month's hurdling debut here (2m1f) after a break, and this longer trip needs to spark a major turnaround. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Off for 339 days after showing some ability in his first bumper; completely tailed off in two others for this yard (hooded last time). |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but easily landed gamble in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in March, and did not need to be at same level to justify skinny odds in Uttoxeter novice (2m7f, good) this month; has a big penalty but should still be hard to beat. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives. |
4/11 |

2nd 4 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Completed for first time in five-race career when second of two finishers in three-runner maiden point last month but still can't be recommended on this hurdling debut. |
