1st 9 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper winner who is 0-9 over hurdles but has been bang there in his last two races, over C&D and 2m7f at Worcester; raised 3lb but he enters the reckoning. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-8 over hurdles but returned from a break with a pretty good second at Market Rasen (2m4f, good; refitted cheekpieces) on Sunday and is quickly back in action before handicapper has chance to nudge him up the weights; unexposed as a stayer; likely contender. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won a bumper in Ireland; doesn't look that well handicapped on his British form and tried a visor when last seen (cheekpieces did nothing when tried once before); what may help is the drying ground. |

2nd 10 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has returned from a break in good form, winning back-to-back Class 5 handicaps at about 2m4f on good ground (the first here); remains on a fair mark but this is a better race and a competitive one. |
12/1 |
|
1st 1 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has turned a corner since returning from a break this spring and came good for current stable with front-running win at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; that form looks modest but he ought to give another good account here. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ended 2025 in poor form but kept on well to take third of 13 at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft; refitted tongue-tie) in March, after a break, and may benefit from moving back up in trip here; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who was second in a Cheltenham handicap last October on final jumps run; 2lb lower now and he was a recent 2m winner at Newmarket; should go well. |
11/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time hurdles winner whose first Flat success came on Southwell AW (1m6f) in January; has kept his form pretty well, including over 2m, and is considered seriously in this small field despite having had just two races (2025) on Flat turf. |
3/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Registered a first Flat win when scoring over C&D in January and it was a creditable effort when chasing home St Faz at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) six days ago; work to do if he's to turn the tables but still one of the more likely ones. |

Had a lengthy break after her breakthrough win but better than ever a month ago when breezing home off 9lb lower over C&D; something seems to have clicked. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

No match for Gms Prince here in September, but Huntingdon victory on sole start after (also 2m3f, good; placed horses both won next time) rates a major personal best; respected. |
9/1 |
|
1st 6 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
0-10 under rules, but has finished runner-up in both starts over hurdles here (2m/2m4f) and was returning from ten months off when fourth of ten at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) in September, finishing around 2l behind Queens Wish; one for the shortlist. |

Inconsistent 9yo who kept on for third at Uttoxeter (2m4f) without threatening; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Inconsistent 9yo who is falling in the weights (17lb below peak 2024 mark) but his last piece of persuasive form was in July last year. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

1st 6 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Winless since 2024 but he signed off for James Moffatt with a fair sixth of 13 in 2m1f Cartmel handicap in May; not out of things for his new handler. |
7/2 |
|
6th 5 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Hard-fought win back over hurdles at Hexham (2m) before a 10l defeat returned to fences; no great significance in the return of cheekpieces (blinkered last two races) but entitled to have some say. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race off today's mark a year ago (good; first-time blinkers) and reverts to chasing after hard-fought hurdle win here (2m, good; refitted blinkers) a fortnight ago; obvious contender. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won over fences here (2m, good; in first-time blinkers - two finished) last June; runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f) in April, but low key at Kelso subsequently; returns to hurdles for the first time since finishing tailed off over C&D last October; others more appealing. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Fontwell maiden winner last April; some good runs since in cheekpieces and the visor tried last time is soon dispensed with; could feature off what should be a good mark. |
9/1 |
|
6th 5 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Sole success came in a Fontwell maiden last April; has run with credit on several occasions, such as when third at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and shouldn't be far away. |

3rd 8 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Sole success came in a Fontwell maiden last April; has run with credit on several occasions since and shapes as though this step back up in distance will suit after he got outpaced when fourth at Wincanton (2m5f, good) last month; down to a career-low mark and should not be far away. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

All of his seven wins have been at either Hexham or here, so merits attention after finishing a close third at Uttoxeter a month ago; 2lb below last winning mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All of his seven wins have been at either Hexham or Market Rasen; never really threatened when a distant third on his first run for six months over C&D (good) nine days ago; best to wait until he runs over his favoured tracks. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five out of seven hurdles wins have been recorded in the month of June; mark and trip fine, but although once a winner after 151 days out his record following an absence is a bit mixed overall. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Last month's staying-on 5l fourth in a 2m novice here was given a boost by the third at Southwell two days ago; this is a handy initial mark set against his bumper best; kept almost exclusively to good ground so far. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |

Launched handicap career with two comfortable wins on good ground (2m/2m3f; unraced on ground any slower) in April, and ran well in defeat at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month; back up in trip here and probably still on the upgrade; must be considered. |

On a hat-trick having won novice handicaps at Exeter (2m, good) and Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; up 14lb (7lb for last win) but should be competitive again. |

5lb higher than for his runaway win at Hereford (2m; handicap debut); fell early next time and then only fourth of the five runners at Worcester; probably needs his best yet here but it's still early days. |

Low-mileage 6yo who displayed major improvement on handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good) in March, drawing clear to win by 15l; absent since early fall at Exeter ten weeks ago but may still have more to offer. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
