19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Point/hunter chase winner who went close over hurdles on first two starts for this yard before handicap chase win at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to firm) last month; did it nicely last time and a 5lb rise may well not stop him. |
6/4 |

13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Irish hunter chase winner who has gone very close on both starts for this stable, beaten a neck at Fontwell (3m2f, good) and by a short head at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) nine days later; up in class but looks to have a strong chance of doubling his chase tally. |

2nd 4 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner but he's lost his way since a 2m4f success at Ffos Las (good to soft) last June and has offered little in three runs this season; well treated on his best form but with plenty to prove. |
25/1 |

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. |

3rd 1 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist with nine chase wins to his name, latest off 2lb higher in July last year; solid front-running third at Bangor (2m4f, good) 17 days ago after a break and he holds leading claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
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. |
100/30 |

13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed the benefit of a fourth wind operation when winning over hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May and only narrowly denied by an in-form Skelton horse off 3lb higher two weeks later; below par since but he returns to fences on a competitive mark. |
9/2 |
|
5th 1 |
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. |

3rd 6 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Seemed to run well when second of three in tactical race at Cartmel (3m1f, good) on Monday and remains 2lb lower than when winning for another stable in January but others appeal more all the same. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Former pointer/hunter chaser who won a Sedgefield handicap (3m2f, good to soft) off 2lb higher for Ruth Jefferson in January; not quite in same form on first four starts for new stable and fell on latest outing a week ago but it's difficult to put a line through him. |
4/1 |
|
5 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Encouraging first two efforts for this stable before a lesser run prompted wind surgery; got back on track to some extent at Bangor (3m, good) last month and, while more is needed, he's likely to have a say. |
