15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
3-6 in handicaps, including winning warm events on good to firm at Ascot (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m3f) on first two starts this year; absolutely hacked up in the latter but subsided disappointingly in the closing stages for valuable 1m6f handicap at Newmarket (made most) 16 days later; dam is sister to a 1m5f-2m winner, suggesting he should stay beyond 1m4f; even if back on song, however, this rise in class suggests he will register a place at best. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won three of his five handicaps, including warm events on good to firm at Ascot (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m3f) in his two starts this season; firmly in charge on first occasion and absolutely hacked up when 5-6 favourite in the latter 16 days ago; shoulders a 6lb penalty today, whereas his mark for future engagements is 11lb higher still; that suggests he wins today if he stays this new trip, and the dam being sister to a 1m5f-2m winner gives plenty of encouragement; deservedly a hot favourite. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Fairly unexposed sort who showed his best form when taking 14-runner Ascot handicap (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; that race has worked out well, with the third and fourth winning big handicaps at Royal Ascot and at Epsom on Derby day respectively, so a 5lb rise now looks on the lenient side; form of his close second on final start of last year was also boosted at last week's royal meeting and he's a key contender. |

8st 12lb |
0-10 since winning his first two starts in 2023 but has finished runner-up over 1m3f/1m4f this summer; well-held fifth in Old Borough Cup at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) latest but this is a bit easier. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
5yo who is 0-9 since winning his first two starts in 2023; however, he's finished runner-up over 1m3f/1m4f on two of his last three outings, keeping on well each time, and he might improve for the step up to 1m6f; has shown promise on slow ground; interesting each-way at forecast big odds. |

2nd 6 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won his first two starts when trained by Karl Burke; encouraging stable debut at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) in June and was best of the rest behind a handicap blot at Carlisle next time; however, he needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at York (1m4f, good to firm) last month. |

Ex-Jedd O'Keeffe; campaigned on the Flat (3218) by this trainer until returning to hurdles with a bang in Class 4 at Perth (2m, good; won by just over 2l, 15-2); 6lb higher in a more competitive contest but, as the Morebattle Hurdle has shown, this trainer isn't fazed by aiming high. |

Disappointed on the Flat a fortnight ago but had been in good form in that sphere for new stable beforehand, most notably when winning over 2m two starts ago; reverts to hurdling on a good mark; high on the list. |

Short-headed when upped in trip at Ayr (2m, good) last month on his second stable start before winning here (2m, good); he's just 1lb higher than last time and could have more to offer over staying distances; respected. |

0-8; finished fourth of 15 on her third start for the yard at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; 50-1) last time, but was still 15l behind the winner; another 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Showed ability in Irish maidens for Noel Meade but yet to get going in two starts for this yard, latterly in a hood (now removed) at Thirsk last month; this is just her third handicap but it's a tough one in which to stage a revival. |
40/1 |

9th 11 (9) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Ran in five maidens in Ireland for Noel Meade, finishing second on the final occasion (1m4f, heavy); has also shown promise on good ground; she could improve for last month's stable/seasonal debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) but was soundly beaten and others have more pressing claims; a hood goes on. |

Scored at Newcastle (1m4f) in March but largely below form since, last of four in 1m4f handicap at Thirsk ten days ago; this course winner needs to take a step forward in refitted blinkers. |

8st 9lb |
Seen most often at Musselburgh but his last two wins were at Nottingham (2m2f, heavy) last October and Carlisle (1m6f, good) this June; he's back to the same mark today and recent efforts give him place claims. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time course winner, the latest over C&D last October; he hasn't been at the top of his game on his last four starts, including here on his penultimate run, but he can't be ruled out at a venue he clearly relishes. |
13/2 |

6th 8 (9) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent sort who was a soundly beaten third at Musselburgh recently; however, he won at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June and ran well in third over this C&D (good to firm) in July; acts on any ground and might not be far away if he's on a going day. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for Ben Brookhouse last summer; only eighth in 2m Newbury maiden on his hurdling debut in December but returns to this sphere having been in good form on the Flat; not out of things. |

4th 2 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Perhaps best over further but he was only nabbed late on over C&D last week and, although 1lb higher, Toby Moore rides him for the first time claiming 7lb; can be inconsistent but he's run three excellent races in defeat around here; solid chance. |

2nd 5 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |

4th 4 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Just one win to his name since June 2023 and he failed to justify favouritism in a similar event at Catterick (1m4f, good) last time, with the reopposing Star Start a place ahead of him second; however, his record in recent years suggests that going softer than good is ideal for him nowadays and this is the first time he's faced such conditions since a respectable reappearance off a much higher mark in the spring; considered. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |

Just one win to his name since June 2023 and he has found it tough going so far in 2026; he has slipped a long way in the weights though and today's drop in class will help; not discounted. |

Won handicaps at Leicester (1m4f, good) and Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) in the spring but he's failed to beat a rival in last two starts; bit to prove but he got shuffled back in a tactical race at Chester last time and has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

He has been doing well since being gelded and tackling handicaps on a sound surface, winning four-runner event at Leicester (1m4f) and three-runner race at Redcar (1m6f); far from disgraced in a Class 2 at Doncaster last time, bringing this year's form figures to 21213; not fully exposed and likely capable of better yet. |
