18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Had been in good form before opening account at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month, his ninth start over hurdles; 5lb rise demands a bit more from him here but he ought to make his presence felt. |

12st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles but runner-up twice over C&D on fast ground since returning from a break in May; won't mind if there's rain about and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
2-19 over hurdles; still 7lb above his last winning mark; tends to race freely and his chance would be enhanced if the race is run at a strong pace. |
10/1 |

6th 1 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two of his first three starts (good to firm and good) this time last year for new yard, including over C&D; not obviously ahead of his mark since but it was a fair effort back here (hood discarded) 16 days ago and he's unlikely to be far away. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won this race on stable debut a year ago (good to firm) and was also on target at Plumpton (2m, good) last September; returned from break with two respectable runs last month and, with Sean Bowen booked again, features prominently in calculations. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark over C&D (good) on yard debut in June but he couldn't keep up the gallop at Uttoxeter next time and Jet Patrol and the winner got away from him back here 16 days ago; needs to find something extra. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Opened account over C&D (good) on stable debut in June, readily drawing 7l clear; might still have more to offer for his new trainer but was safely held when favourite at Uttoxeter last month; needs to bounce back. |
11/2 |

Off eight months and much improved for his new yard with an easy first success in 2m handicap hurdle at Stratford last month; up 7lb but not taken lightly. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Regressive Flat maiden who, for the second time this year, refused to race on the AW nine days ago; has the ability to feature off this mark over hurdles (0-6) but far too risky. |
8/1 |
|
12 (3) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Back from long absence with two respectable runs for new stable this season, latterly when staying-on fifth of 11 at Stratford (2m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last month; stayed at least 1m6f on the Flat and looks interesting over this new trip. |
5/1 |

5th 8 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
No match for comfortable winner when second of five on stable/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; reportedly made respiratory noise) in June but that was his first run for 462 days and he now has a tongue-tie fitted; improvement possible. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won on the Flat for Hughie Morrison in 2024 but was soundly beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles for Sheila Lewis in 2024-25 season; makes stable/handicap hurdle debut after 462-day absence; could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

Not beaten far in first two handicaps (2m/2m1f, good; both in spring) but returned from short break with disappointing run a fortnight ago; upped in trip with blinkers added here; improvement required. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Unplaced all five hurdling starts but wasn't beaten far in his two handicaps in the spring (2m/2m1f, good) and now returns to this track for first time since comfortably winning a bumper last spring; interesting |
12/1 |

5th 6 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who failed to transfer that ability in three novice hurdle runs last year, but showed more switched to handicaps at Ludlow (2m, good) last month when keeping on after a mistake at the last; likely has more to offer and is one to consider eased slightly in the weights; unraced on ground worse than good. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Got off the mark on her 35th start under rules when scoring over C&D (good) in July off 3lb lower; is generally consistent but her win record suggests she is unlikely to go in again. |
18/1 |

3rd 5 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up twice at Stratford before finally making her breakthrough at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, her 27th start over hurdles; well beaten back at Stratford since, though, and probably won't be favoured by rain here; others preferred. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Showed no significant promise in three novice/maiden hurdles here (2m-2m2f) in June/July and is 8lb out of the weights for this handicap debut; significant improvement required. |

3rd 5 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Capable when on song, as shown by winning at Fakenham (2m, good; from 6lb higher) in April 2024; always behind when beaten 40l at Stratford five weeks ago returning from mammoth 793-day absence and wind surgery. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Scored off 4lb higher at Fakenham (2m, good) in April 2024 but absent since pulled up twice the following June; had wind op in June and is fitted with first-time hood/tongue-tie for this reappearance; others have much less to prove. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Posted career-best performance when winning at Fakenham (2m, good) in April and will be fine over today's longer trip but two very disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Predictably struggled in good-quality Irish Flat maiden last month and is now 0-30 under all codes; has much more realistic assignment now back in a low-grade handicap hurdle for new stable but still makes only limited appeal. |
