28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
6yo who has improved markedly since switched to fences and made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) in August; winning sequence ended just five days later, when the race may have come too soon, but he's had a break since and could bounce back; respected. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
6yo who has been a big improver since switched to fences and he made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and he's unbeaten in three chase runs at at Newton Abbot; strong contender. |

11st 10lb |
Hat-trick (2m-extended 2m3f) before the break included two C&D wins in July, latest when scoring convincingly off an 8lb lower mark and the runner-up has run well since; this mark demands more but he's thriving and a bold bid can be expected for the four-timer. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
A dual 2m chase winner at Perth last summer; off 11 months but not discredited with second of four in 2m handicap chase at Newton Abbot three weeks ago; considered off same mark. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Failed to beat a rival in his final two races when last seen a year ago; however, he won his first two in this discipline (2m on good ground) and would have every chance if returning in good spirits. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Flat bred but won his first two chases (2m, good), albeit with luck on his side the second time when left clear; latest run when last at Stratford just wasn't his true running; still looks competitively treated. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In fine form over fences and went 3-4 this summer in three-runner handicap at Kelso (2m1f) 15 days ago; has his first run in this sphere since 2022 but scored over C&D then so can't be discounted off a reduced mark. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made all in a visor at Southwell (2m, good) in June and again had plenty in hand when getting back on the scoresheet in first-time blinkers at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last month; the favourite flopped there but this one's been raised only 3lb; the visor returns; has to be respected. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
A fairly useful ex-Irish winning hurdler; yet to score in a trio of runs over fences for his current yard this summer and failed to get home over 2m6f when second of three in Stratford handicap chase 19 days ago; not out of things though back in trip here. |
9/4 |

2nd 3 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Winning hurdler in Ireland and runner-up over hurdles on final run for the Twiston-Davies yard; back over fences (0-4) in two runs for Dan Skelton and didn't see either race out with much purpose (2m/2m1f), and those were after a wind operation; reservations for now and returning to further isn't an obvious positive. |
5/2 |

3rd 2 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Signed off for Twiston-Davies stable with creditable second behind a next-time-out winner over hurdles in May, having made the running in first-time cheekpieces; last throughout on stable debut without headgear in four-runner Newton Abbot chase this month but the cheekpieces are back on here and it will be interesting to see whether connections revert to more positive tactics. |
