2nd 4 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Failed to complete in two of his first three chase starts but he's really got his act together with comfortable wins over C&D (good to firm) in his last two runs; up another 8lb but that was an emphatic success last time and he's open to more progress; key player. |

1st 1 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
0-9 as a hurdler but only his fourth run over fences when making light work of The Gypsy Davey over C&D (add 23yds) six days ago; penalised accordingly but Paddy Hanlon's claim takes care of 5lb of that. |
6/4 |

1st 4 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
13-race maiden, including three runs over fences, but showed more when travelling well for a long way last time, failing to stay 3m2f; needs to build on that and the drop back in trip is a plus; usually claimer ridden but not today. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Record of 4-8 in points but 16 defeats under rules include eight chases; ran no race last time and she's 2lb wrong. |

6th 10 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Better known as a pointer, adding two more in the spring, and her challenge didn't last long over C&D three weeks ago; up against it from out of the weights. |
33/1 |
|
4th 10 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won two four-runner points this spring but has poor record under rules (0-14) and makes only limited appeal here. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
8yo who has a poor strike-rate and is 4lb out of the handicap this evening; however, he ran pretty well when 10l third of eight at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
1-12 as a chaser; good and bad in his last six races over hurdles, finishing tailed off in the last two; risky. |
8/1 |
|
11th 12 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (once each) from 35 races; his last win was in 2024 but bits of form this year, including penultimate start, give him an each-way chance. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner from 20 attempts over fences; returned to form when second to It's A Breeze here last week where he wasn't unlucky despite some late interference; should run well with a repeat, but can be inconsistent. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark. |
13/2 |
|
5th 7 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won two chases at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April and May 2025 but has been more miss than hit since, with both runs this year underwhelming; reverts to hurdles with a visor added off a fair mark but needs to turn things around. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual point winner who is 0-10 under rules but he was only beaten around 4l when third of six in a Stratford handicap (3m3f, good to firm) last week; remains unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can build on that last run; 1lb out of the weights. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 5 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Limited hurdler; unconvincing point form before finishing tailed off on second run over fences at Newton Abbot (2m5f); he was only 7-2 that day so better was perhaps expected, but he's risky. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Limited hurdler who was pulled up on chase debut in January; subsequent pointing exploits aren't overly compelling. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who has come a long way down the weights and he's had a sticky period since finishing second at Market Rasen five runs back; however, coming back from 3m could be a good move. |
7/2 |
|
6th 2 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Difficult times since back from absence last June but he's dropped a long way in the weights and there have been some signs of life; non-stayer over the extended 3m3f at Stratford recently (Carpe Diem runner-up) but he didn't run badly and better is expected. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back with his former trainer on his last five starts; landed a four-timer for this yard in 2023; hasn't won since and has failed to complete on his last two starts; visor worn last time is left off; well handicapped if able to return to anywhere near his best form. |

Had plenty of racing under both codes and has been regressing for a while now; chase debut. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Been around a bit and has regressed sharply for this yard, mainly over hurdles; Sapphire Sirocco looks the more likkely of the stable pair. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |

No wins in 14; ran better in his third chase over C&D in May, beaten about 13l behind one having a good summer; 2lb out of the weights. |

3rd 6 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

13-race maiden who has been pulled up in both runs over fences (2m3f) and was tailed off back over hurdles at Exeter (2m, good) last time; opposable. |
33/1 |

5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Placed in a bumper and a novices' hurdle (heavy) when with Seamus Mullins; has failed to complete in all three starts for his current trainer. |
