19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut here (2m4f, good) in July 2025; struggled in his next five starts but went down the weights and took advantage from the front in a six-runner C&D race (good; by a nose, with Ikigai Star third and Final Entry fourth) five weeks ago; back up 2lb but a player if he can back up that effort. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut here (2m4f, good) last July but he's struggled since, including in three runs this year; overall record is now 0-10 and he has plenty to prove back up in trip. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut over C&D (good) last July but he's struggled since, including when pulled up on chase debut at Wetherby in March; overall record is now 0-9 and he has plenty to prove after a short break; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

11st 1lb |
Last won at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in May 2025; while not so good over the last year, he has gone down the weights and third of six to The Great Escape over C&D (his first run beyond 2m5f) last time gives him a place chance. |

3rd 3 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won off 10lb higher at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last May but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 10l back on the Flat (1m6f) two weeks ago; has lots to prove and this is his first run beyond 2m5f. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Regressed over hurdles since well held in two Flat starts last August; ran poorly in one previous try in a visor (usually wears cheekpieces), so positives are thin on the ground. |

12st 0lb |
5yo who made it 2-7 over hurdles when scoring in a first-time visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; that was by a nose but he hit a personal best with that success and is still unexposed at staying trips; respected up 4lb. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Her sole win was over fences in France in January 2024; has dropped a long way in the weights and she's been tailed off in last two runs and is now 0-10 for current yard; opposable. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ex-French mare still searching for her first win in Britain; beaten 36l when favourite at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; her mark continues to fall but she has it all to prove. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-French mare; followed up a couple of fair efforts at Exeter and Taunton with a below-par run at Ffos Las last month; has slipped to a career-low mark and Harry Cobden rides for the first time but she's still looking for her first win in Britain and others are preferred. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won an Exeter hurdle race off a mark of 74 on stable debut in December but has failed to match that level since, including in two starts over fences; last month's reappearance may have been needed when a well-held last of six over hurdles but he has a bit to prove back over fences, despite his lower chase mark. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Pulled up in his final run during winter but that was in the mud and he won by 7l over this trip at Exeter (good to soft) in December; looks interesting on that form and he needs a close look back from five months off. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Back in better form for new yard, notably an account-opening win over hurdles at Exeter and second-place finish at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) returned to fences; hurdles mark is 7lb higher; fighting chance. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Quirky customer who returned to form with come-from-behind win on last month's stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time hood); remains a tricky horse to predict but this 7lb higher mark ought to be manageable. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June 2024 but he's not seen much action since and struggled over hurdles and fences on last five outings (for Clare Hobson); now 14lb lower than for his win and was second favourite at Worcester (2m7f; six-runner race) ten days ago, but refused to line up; wore cheekpieces twice recently and now it's a hood; 4lb out of the handicap. |

10st 5lb |
Won at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in June 2024 but he's not seen much action since and has struggled over hurdles and fences in last five runs; now 14lb lower than for his win but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
