19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a point in the spring and is 2-4 since returned to racing under rules for new stable, the latter win gained off today's mark on chasing debut here (2m6f, good to firm) a week ago; likes to make the running, and could be hard to catch on this quick return to hurdling. |

1st 3 |
12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won the second of two points in April before being sold for £10,000; got off the mark over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month when making all; well held at Worcester subsequently but must be of interest on chasing debut. |
7/2 |

Winning pointer; gained a first success under rules on just his second run for current yard in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle 22 days ago; up 7lb but not taken lightly. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-17 under rules and plodded on to grab third at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; sports first-time tongue-tie but lacks the scope of her younger rivals. |
12/1 |

3rd 9 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Still a maiden after 16 runs but hasn't been with current stable long and wasn't beaten far when fourth of six on chasing debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; may benefit from this drop back in trip and has the services of Sean Bowen; worth a second look. |
9/1 |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close at Bangor early last year and was placed again next time; however, her form ran cold afterwards and she finished well behind over hurdles last week after a layoff. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Looked unenthusiastic before eventually plugging on for modest third at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm; first-time visor) in July and is now 0-13 over fences; well handicapped on some of last season's form but needs to race with a lot more zest in the refitted cheekpieces here. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden hurdle winner; 0-12 over fences but placed a good few times but took a backward step last time when beaten 45l at Fontwell (3m2f, good); first-time visor replaces cheekpieces with tongue-tie retained; has a bit to prove. |
12/1 |

Maiden hurdle winner; 0-11 over fences but placed a good few times and his backward step last time was over hurdles; cheekpieces return with a tongue-tie added. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Around 5l second over C&D in July (good) when 5lb out of the weights, and now races off her true mark for the first time this term; respected, especially if ground remains good (all point wins on sound surfaces). |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won her third point when beating two rivals in April; made an encouraging stable/chase debut when second at Stratford (extended 2m3f, good to firm) last month but may have done too much without the hood when fading into fourth over 2m6f there ten days ago; reverts to hurdles from out of the weights and others make greater appeal. |
20/1 |

4th 10 |
12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |

Landed her third point in May; finished a modest second on her chase/stable debut here (2m3f, good to firm) 13 days ago; runs without hood worn on last four starts; has more on her plate here. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made a pleasing start over fences when runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; her performance when pulled up at Hexham subsequently was too bad to be true; first-time cheekpieces are now applied and she still has time on her side. |
13/8 |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Maiden hurdler who was a creditable second of four to a progressive rival in a mares' handicap at Worcester on chase debut this month (2m4f, good; first run after wind op; made a mistake four out, but rallied); one with a chance. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Showed promise in maiden/novice hurdles before running respectably when third on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; finished weakly over a slightly longer trip at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) the following month but has since undergone wind surgery; now switches to fences from what looks a workable mark (eased 2lb) and commands respect. |

Pulled up in three of her five attempts over hurdles including over 2m on handicap debut at Plumpton (reported to have bled from the nose) last month; still early days in this sphere but she has lots to prove back up in trip. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Remains a maiden under both codes but he comes here on the back of a solid third of seven in 2m4f handicap chase at Bangor last month; possibilities in first-time cheekpieces. |

3rd 7 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 5 |

0-13 under all codes but ran fairly well when fourth here (3m, good; first-time tongue-tie) in June and was unlucky to come to grief on his latest outing; not ruled out each-way. |

Made the frame for the second time over fences when fourth of eight finishers at Bangor (3m, good) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); holds place claims. |
