13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles in the summer and has slipped to an attractive Flat mark but looked out of sorts when tailed off on last two appearances; leap of faith required to support him. |
16/1 |

4th 2 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner off 1lb higher in March 2025; landed a minor handicap hurdle at Stratford in July but he has since finished tailed off in a Class 2 handicap at Glorious Goodwood (extended 2m4f); others look safer. |
12/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat this year, for instance 11th to Believitanducan in the Northumberland Vase last month; not proven beyond 2m in this sphere but he switched back to hurdles for a 2m6f win at Stratford 12 days ago, which might give some renewed hope. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Looked in excellent nick at Stratford (2m6f, good; refitted visor) nine days ago, dominating from the front and winning by 11l; could plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip but, on the balance of this year's form, might be vulnerable after recent 6lb rise. |

1st 3 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Six wins divided between Flat and hurdling; her last success was over two years ago but she's run some solid races over hurdles this summer and was only beaten 4l at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last time; respected with visor reapplied. |

3rd 6 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Six wins divided between Flat and hurdling; has some respectable races during her losing streak but doesn't look on that good a mark. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Improving 6yo who kept on resolutely to score over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago and has now won three times since the spring; another 5lb higher now but a likely contender again. |
13/8 |
|
1st 6 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Recorded back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) in the spring and has continued in good form off higher marks since, most recently going down by a head over C&D last month; nudged up another 3lb but remains hard to ignore in current form. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish; recorded back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) recently; maintained his good level of form when third of five back there ten days ago; must come into this if he can replicate his form here. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Flopped badly when favourite at Hexham last month and needs to put that behind him but looked in good nick when making all for clearcut success at Hereford (3m1f, good) two runs ago; dangerous if back at that level. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has improved with each run since returning from a break and stepping up in trip, with cheekpieces added to a tongue-tie; made all at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month and a 6lb rise looks manageable; leading contender. |
9/4 |

1st 1 |
12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
He's returned from a break in good heart this year, finishing fourth at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) before getting closer to the target when 3l third at Southwell (3m, good); entitled to respect. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winless since 2022 and he's yet to fire in a trio of runs this season, trailing in last of five at Stratford (2m6f) in July; this C&D scorer has plenty to prove. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Regressive 10yo who has been lightly raced in recent years and returned from a break with two low-key runs this spring; pulled up (lost action) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) recently; revival needed. |
14/1 |
|
11 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner but beaten about 14l in two handicaps after three months off, and he was pulled up in his race prior to those; very opposable; first-time cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
