7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Looking very progressive and impressed in how he came through to beat a subsequent winner at Hexham one month ago on his first try over this far (good ground); could well take the 7lb rise in his stride. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Added to debut bumper win, hitting the line strongly to score at the third attempt in a handicap hurdle at Kelso (2m5f, good) 31 days ago; moves up in trip (ideal on pedigree) from a 6lb higher mark, with that form franked at Southwell by the third-placed Larkfield Lusive. |

Won a bumper here last April (2m, good); best run over hurdles when second to a hat-trick scorer at Catterick in January (2m3f, soft); pulled up last time (never travelled); could bounce back. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made all at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May when back over hurdles and runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) since; she can make mistakes and fell on her last chase start in December, but won over fences at Cheltenham (3m1f, good to soft) previously; respected under regular rider Lily Bradstock. |

2nd 5 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Fell in her final chase run after a career-best win in a 3m1f handicap at Cheltenham; she's good over hurdles as well, making it 4-8 in this discipline when beating one other finisher by 30l at Fontwell last time out (2m5f, good); the handicapper didn't go overboard with a 5lb rise. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who showed career-best form when game winner of Cheltenham chase (3m1f, good to soft) off today's mark in October; not seen since first-fence fall in December, though, and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Four wins since May divided between hurdles and fences; had a nice bit in hand when beating three rivals (including Sony Bill) over C&D 11 days ago and a 4lb rise could have been worse; on a roll and firmly in the mix. |
5/2 |

1st 3 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Two hurdle wins since May and he squeezed in a successful chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) in between; latest third over hurdles here (about 2m7f, good) was a solid effort last Tuesday and he's a firm candidate again; due to go up 1lb. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Bids for a four-timer after two wins over hurdles and a chase success in between; had nothing in hand last time at Worcester (2m7f, good) and he'll need another career best off 4lb higher. |

1lb higher than for the 3m win at Aintree last October (good); hasn't approached that form in his only three races since but this is a drop in grade; should go well. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

Won two handicaps over similar trips to this last season, both on good ground; latest run in a Class 2 wasn't too bad and he's capable when fresh; this mark isn't beyond him. |

Did well in cheekpieces last year, winning at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May and Aintree (3m, good) in October; not so good behind Super Survivor here (good to soft) in December but a return to form today looks possible for in-form yard; place hopes. |

Won this for Olly Murphy in 2024; returned from long absence with two lesser efforts towards end of last season but ran well for a long way when fifth in higher-grade C&D (good) contest for new stable this month; considered. |

Dual winner over 2m7f at Uttoxeter in the summer of 2024 (good); was then off for 587 days and fair sixth at Wincanton on return to action last month (3m, good to soft; form not worked out); should come on for that run. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

Won two hunter chases in April on good ground before gifted a point walkover; can't be ruled out after those exploits and his hurdle figure is 10lb beneath his chase mark; had win and placed form for Olly Murphy in this discipline. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |

Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

Trip/ground is ideal but that was also the case when he finished tailed off here 19 days ago after wind surgery; that was his third underwhelming run on the bounce; tongue-tie tried last time is joined by cheekpieces. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

Won three 2m7f handicaps (all on good) in early part of last season, two over C&D; has failed to fire in two runs after a break but could be dangerous if all the better for a wind operation and new tongue-tie. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Back to the same mark off which he won on good ground over C&D just over a year ago and, next time out after a 5lb rise, he was going best in this when unseating two out; lost his way later on but there were positives to take from his fifth over C&D in May; could easily be in the shake-up. |
