28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
6yo who has improved markedly since switched to fences and made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) in August; winning sequence ended just five days later, when the race may have come too soon, but he's had a break since and could bounce back; respected. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
6yo who has been a big improver since switched to fences and he made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and he's unbeaten in three chase runs at at Newton Abbot; strong contender. |

11st 10lb |
Hat-trick (2m-extended 2m3f) before the break included two C&D wins in July, latest when scoring convincingly off an 8lb lower mark and the runner-up has run well since; this mark demands more but he's thriving and a bold bid can be expected for the four-timer. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Completed a rapid hat-trick in handicap hurdles in May and got off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Uttoxeter (2m, good) recently; 10lb higher against much tougher opposition this afternoon but he made all in fine style last time and this 4yo could continue his rise up the ranks. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded a three-timer over hurdles in May but has been turned over at short odds in first two runs over fences since; did little wrong on either occasion and remains a young chaser with potential; should be hard to beat. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Showed the benefit of wind surgery when winning three hurdle races on the bounce in May and very nearly defied a 4lb lower mark than this at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July on chase debut; latest race was voided well before the finish; strong claims. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
C&D winner in May and respectable second over hurdles the following month, but he was well beaten back over fences at Hexham (raced freely) last month and subsequently left Dan Skelton's stable for £5,000; retains chase potential but others are more persuasive. |
10/1 |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark as a chaser at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, easily beating two rivals; raced too freely and succumbed to a stronger finisher when odds-on to follow up over hurdles there a week later but probably still has untapped potential over fences if he settles better here. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Nothing like the force of old over hurdles; beaten 24l and more in four runs for this yard, the last two over fences; cheekpieces added. |

4th 4 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but he's been well below that level in three starts for this stable since returning from a long absence, latest when a 34l fourth back over fences at Stratford (extended 2m3f) last month; has enough to prove at present. |
20/1 |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Well suited by this track when a useful hurdler for Nicky Henderson a few years ago but, following a long absence, has been safely held on both starts for new stable this season, latterly back here in a three-runner race; needs a revival on first chasing attempt since 2022. |
