26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Good-ground specialist with nine chase wins on his CV; long in the tooth now but returned from break with two respectable runs this spring and has edged his way back down to a good mark; no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Every chance but couldn't quite get past when suffering an odds-on defeat on this month's Fontwell stable debut (3m2f), though did at least record a clear personal best good-ground effort there; 4lb well in as a result, but today's contest has a little bit more depth to it for the grade. |

2nd 1 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual point winner who came good under rules with front-running success in Wexford hunter chase (2m7f, good to yielding; refitted cheekpieces) last month; changed hands subsequently for £17,000 and has to be over interest back over hurdles for top new yard. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the benefit of a break and his latest wind op when making all at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; again ran well when close second of three over C&D (good) a fortnight later; respected. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner; unseated rider in early stages of a chase last month, after a layoff, and was tailed-off 66-1 shot when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) 17 days ago; others have much less to prove. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
7-39, with three wins over hurdles, but he's hard to predict and was badly out of sorts in the autumn; unseated early on last month's return and reverts to hurdles off his last winning mark, but it's difficult to know what to expect. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not at best when third of four in first-time blinkers (retained) last month but started off for Nick Scholfield with two good efforts in cheekpieces (one over C&D) and was recently given a wind op; big player if quickly back on song. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-16 in points and 2-9 over fences; two respectable runs for this yard, over 3m5f and 3m on good ground; obvious claims provided switching cheekpieces for blinkers doesn't backfire. |
6/5 |
