18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Front runner; 2-8 over hurdles and returns to this discipline off a good mark having completed a hat-trick over fences three weeks ago off 4lb higher; has found his best form since joining this yard in January and this track should suit him well. |
10/1 |

1st 3 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Front-running 7yo who brings impressive stats, being 3-5 since joining new yard, 3-4 since dropped to 2m and wearing cheekpieces, 2-2 since returned to chasing (Perth double) and 3-3 under Oakley Brown; should make another bold bid, despite taking a 9lb hike for latest win. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Bounced back to form with hurdle win in first-time cheekpieces/refitted tongue-tie in March, his second start for Adrian Keatley, and made all over C&D (good to soft) when back over fences last month; obvious contender. |

2nd 9 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Clearcut winner on chase debut (2m4f, good) on final run for Rebecca Menzies and similar sort of form in defeat in two runs for the Skeltons, last time pushing earlier-race contender Newton Rambler all the way back over 2m at Uttoxeter; returning to further looks a plus and this hold-up performer should have this run to suit him. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Has taken his form to a new level since switched to fences, winning by wide margin at Hexham (final start for Rebecca Menzies) then creditable second at Worcester, both over 2m4f on good ground; likely to be as effective back down in distance and remains open to further progress in this sphere; respected. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back to form and kept on stoutly to win by 17l on chasing debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month, after which he was bought out of Rebecca Menzies' stable for £25,000; makes stable debut from 8lb higher mark but it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him. |

3rd 4 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Front-running veteran; well suited by good or faster ground and he battled on well to score over C&D in July for a 12th chase win; bled from the nose when pulled up over further back here a fortnight ago but this return to shorter is a positive. |
10/1 |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Front-running veteran who is well suited by good or faster ground and battled well to score over 2m1f here last month, his 12th chase win; not sure to be ideally suited by today's longer trip but no surprise if he makes another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Veteran with 11 chase wins on his CV, including 2023 edition of this race; returns here after respectable third behind two progressive rivals at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month but Centara is unlikely to allow him to play his preferred front-running role. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
His good progress since coming back in June includes a commanding win at Newton Abbot (about 2m, good to firm) last Thursday; 6lb rise leaves him on a career-high mark but he's been on the up for over a year now and there's no reason to think his climb up the ladder has halted. |

1st 1 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 3-11 over fences and two of those wins were gained over C&D (good/good to soft); held in small-field events in last four starts but he was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last time and he could be dangerous back at this track; stablemate of Gore Point. |
11/2 |
|
4th 2 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
3-10 over fences, the latest win gained at Newton Abbot (2m, good to soft) last autumn; returned from break with respectable fourth (a nose behind Sir Tivo) in race fought out by two progressive rivals at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month and has a big role to play if that outing brought him on. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Has registered his hurdles/chase wins in Class 4, including comfortably at Bangor (2m1f) last time when looking better than ever; something to prove in this better grade but receives weight all round and could go well in current form. |
13/2 |

1st 5 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Ludlow (2m4f, good to firm) last October and has been placed on all five starts since; drops back in trip which may not be in his favour. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made the breakthrough over fences in a Ludlow handicap (2m4f, good to firm) in October; that was a four-runner race but he's been placed in four runs since including when runner-up at Chepstow (2m7f) 11 days ago; should go well again and all of his wins have been on good/good to firm. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Fairly treated on some of his form but was very disappointing when dropped into a Class 4 here last time and his previous run was no better. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Fairly treated and some fair efforts at 2m4f/2m5f before struggling back over 2m in a Class 2; that's readily forgiven and he'll probably run well. |
10/1 |

6th 4 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance. |
