28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
In excellent form since return from long layoff; won over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April; added a Cartmel handicap chase (17.5f, good) last month; this is tougher, however, so will need a career best to follow up. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed a gamble over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) in April following a 458-day absence and ran well when third off 14lb higher mark there last month; showed little in three runs over fences in 2024 for previous trainer but may be a different proposition these days; market watch advised. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 5lb |
Subject of a gamble here last time (2-1 fav') when gaining first win back from a 458-day absence on second start (2m3f, good to yielding) for this stable; up 14lb but it was an easy win so he might be up to going in again. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Went up 10lb for winning a 2m3f handicap hurdle here in May; has to bounce back from an ordinary effort at Killarney last month over this shorter trip but the booking of Jack Kennedy an obvious plus. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Got off the mark in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in May and a solid run in a Cartmel chase since; 5lb higher than for his win and is up in grade too, but can run well. |

2nd 6 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Irish raider who didn't fare too well in four attempts over fences previously, but got off the mark over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) last month at the 28th attempt under rules; not an obvious candidate to follow up, over fences. |

10st 9lb |
Ended a losing run for his new yard in 2m handicap chase at Hexham in June and backed it up with a solid third of seven at Cartmel (2m1f) 26 days ago; in the mix again. |

|
3rd 3 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
An infrequent winner but got off the mark over fences, after two placed efforts, at Hexham (1m7f, good) 15 days ago; cannot be dismissed while in this mood. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Encouraging start to chasing career, keeping on behind a subsequent winner over C&D before finishing closer still at Cartmel latest (2m1f, good); this would be no stronger than either race, and mark still unchanged. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-9 but ran up to his best at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month when runner-up for second time over fences; first-time tongue-tie and hood are now on and he just needs to find that little bit extra to gain his first win. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good; form well advertised by winner since) in March but three lesser efforts have followed and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Below form on last two appearances and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and that form has been well advertised by the winner since; good claims if back at that level. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Record of 5-18 over fences but all of those wins have come at Sedgefield (2m/2m4f); only 2lb higher than for his last win in April but he's not gone on from that and was a well-held fifth of seven over C&D (good; 16-1) last time; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
5th 11 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
At his best at Sedgefield where he boasts five wins; fair effort when third to Zumbi over C&D last month but it may be best to wait until he returns to his favoured venue. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Defied this mark over C&D (good) last August but he's been out of sorts in his last three runs and latest was at Cartmel three weeks ago; has something to prove and he needs to get back on track; blinkers are removed and cheekpieces return. |
7/1 |

6th 10 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Scored over C&D last August off 1lb lower; may have needed the run when fourth of six finishers at Bangor (2m1f, good) last month following six-month break and holds claims. |
9/1 |
|
4th 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won five times when trained in France; first win in Britain came at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August; has run well when in the frame since but was beaten 30l back over hurdles when last seen in November; may be better for the run. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Previously campaigned in hunter chases and points, he made an encouraging handicap debut when second to Ghasham at Hexham (1m7f, good) 15 days ago; may appreciate a longer trip. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
First ever drop to 2m looks worth a try, having not lasted home in two 3m hunter chases latterly (one here); risks attached, however, having run out twice in points (ahead when exited at the last over 2m4f in March), and may have competition if intent on front-running again. |
11/4 |
|
4th 1 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden; has been placed on a few occasions pointing (also run out twice) but hasn't shown much in his two runs in hunter chases; not an obvious candidate. |
