26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two claiming hurdes for Archie Watson (1m7f/2m) last spring but was 0-6 in handicaps for current stable afterwards; absent since heavy defeat over 2m3f in November and this reappearance run is his first venture beyond 2m5f; not the percentage call. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Eight-time hurdle winner, the last two in claimers in the spring; his three chase starts haven't been devoid of promise but he was only sixth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time and needs something extra. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Latest two wins were in claiming hurdles for another yard; last of four over fences on yard debut and then fifth of seven over hurdles; opposable. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hinted at possible return to form when fourth at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2lb lower than for last summer's win over that C&D but he was soundly beaten at Market Rasen (2m4f) a fortnight ago and now has questions to answer again. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Surprise Stratford winner (2m6f, good to firm; from this mark) last July; failed to build on that thereafter; more encouraging signs when fourth (beaten over 5l) back at that track 13 days ago; isn't guaranteed to replicate that here though, and the prospect of showers concerns. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July off 1lb lower; hasn't been placed since but dangerous to dismiss. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Suffered alarming dip in form after 2m3f course win (good to soft) last April but ran well from the front and was seemingly back in good nick when third over that trip here (good) last month; contender if able to build on that effort over this new trip. |

3rd 9 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a C&D handicap (good to soft) last April but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs and latest was back here in March; has some questions to answer and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |
16/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Bang out of form in his last three races but only four starts back last April he won as he liked around here (good to soft) off 5lb higher; couldn't put a line through him. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins for Stuart Edmonds over 3m on heavy and soft ground at Southwell, the latest in February; changed hands for 2,400gns in April and now makes stable debut after 104-day break; tongue tied for first time; may find the ground too lively. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Out of form during light campaign last season but cashed in on much-reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) this month; not yet proven over this longer trip but recent 4lb rise ought to be manageable; respected. |

1st 5 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Out of form since returning from long absence in December, albeit her seventh of eight at Aintree (2m4f, good; first run after wind op) last month was arguably more encouraging than bare form suggests; others have more pressing claims. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won a Haydock maiden hurdle in 2023 (2m3f, good to soft) and lightly raced in the meantime; tailed off in her last three handicaps and had wind surgery since the latest; risky. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second in a small-field point in April but has not raced under rules since 70l defeat on handicap hurdle debut in November 2024 (2m7f); has tongue-tie refitted here; others have more persuasive profiles. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran quite well when third of seven (albeit well held in the end) on recent chasing debut at Hexham (3m, good) but is now 0-9 under all codes; 2lb wrong for this return to hurding; needs to find something extra. |

3rd 8 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Faring better since the switch to handicap hurdles, if again shaping as if the sharp course was against him when 12l third at Fakenham latest (3m, good); ought to find Hexham a better suit switching to fences, and one half-brother made a winning chase debut. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made fairly encouraging handicap debut when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month but was soundly beaten at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) four weeks ago and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; 2lb out of the weights. |
