18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but exploited much-reduced mark when making all to beat a next-time-out winner by 8l here (2m2f, good to firm) last month; back up 8lb for that but remains well handicapped on old form. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Galway festival winner in 2024 but hasn't matched that level since and has been well beaten on four of his five starts for this yard this year, latest when a 16l fourth to Mi Sueno over C&D last month; remains with plenty to find with that rival despite better terms. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has returned to winning form this summer for new yard, winning at Newton Abbot and Stratford over around 2m3f with cheekpieces reinstated; never in the hunt following a slow start at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last time and probably remains in form; claims. |
14/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Asserted readily on run-in at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday and is now 2-3 for Nick Scholfield; effectively only 6lb higher under 7lb penalty here and won't mind the forecast rain; respected in current mood. |

Won twice for Paddy Butler in the spring of 2024 on soft; made an immediate impact when scoring for the first time since at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) last month on stable debut in returning cheekpieces (retained since); not disgraced when runner-up back there on Saturday and remains in decent form; claims. |

Below his best in three runs since returning from a break but he is on a competitive mark and may benefit from recent wind surgery. |

Two creditable efforts since returning from a short break, latest when a close fourth over 2m1f here last month off this mark; stays this far and enters calculations. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Failed to progress over fences and made only a satisfactory return to hurdles when 12l fourth of ten at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) last month; has stamina to prove on this marked step up in trip but his pedigree offers encouragement and he's 5lb lower than for his sole success. |
6/1 |

4th 5 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Reverts to hurdles after an unsuccessful spell over fences; sole win came in this sphere nearly two years ago, albeit having been lightly campaigned since; now 3lb below that winning mark and the return to hurdles may see him in a better light. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
1-11 over hurdles and 0-4 as a chaser; runner-up in his first chase last November but hasn't kicked on and was well behind Alshadhian at Southwell last time. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner, latest at Stratford (extended 2m3f) in June, but 0-10 over hurdles; has left Shark Hanlon since a disappointing chase run at Uttoxeter last month but not out of this if reproducing his encouraging third off this mark at Market Rasen on penultimate start. |
6/1 |

8th 4 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A third win over fences at Stratford last month (extended 2m3f) and it was only five days later when he was third off his lower hurdle mark; had 21 days off since but is 3lb higher than at Stratford in a race that should take more winning. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A third win over fences at Stratford on Tuesday and he's 9lb lower for this return to hurdling (0-9); has to be of interest with trip/ground ideal. |

10st 12lb |
Well held at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) last month and now 0-7 over hurdles but was third over that C&D on consecutive outings in July (good/good to firm) and has possibilities if judged on that form. |
10/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner who has produced two encouraging placed efforts over C&D of late; has a bit to find with some of these but should be thereabouts. |
10/1 |

3rd 9 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) who had shown little over hurdles until stepped up in trip when a near 6l third behind Saucats over C&D ten days ago; meets that rival on 4lb better terms and enters calculations if building on that performance. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner here (2m2f, good) in July and placed on three of his five starts since, but there have also been two heavy defeats, including when beaten 36l over C&D last time; needs more from 4lb out of the weights. |
10/1 |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Eventually made his breakthrough here (2m2f, good) in July, his 25th start over hurdles; placed on three of four subsequent starts and can given another good account today but may find others better handicapped. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-18 over hurdles and not reliable but has twice gone close at Newton Abbot this summer, latterly when upped to 3m2f a fortnight ago; won't be far away if able to transfer that form to chasing at the first attempt; refitted cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

2nd 6 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
17-race maiden and not easy to predict; went close over C&D in June but has finished tailed off twice since, including in this headgear last time; tackles his longest trip to date and others are more persuasive. |

Won at Exeter in October but has been poor since, including when pulled up and tailed off on two starts this summer; has become well treated and is capable if in the mood, but he's not without risk. |

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

The consistency of his summer 2024 campaign has long deserted him, the return to the mark of October's Exeter win (2m2f, good to firm) owed to three poor runs since; others convince more. |

Bumper winner when trained by Robert Stephens in July 2025; ninth run over hurdles and third for this yard when winning a 13-runner handicap over C&D (good; from Bowling Shane) 19 days ago; back up 5lb but that win, after leading five out, came in clearcut style. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Placed on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October but has disappointed on all three starts this season, most recently when pulled up on stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) on Saturday; upped in trip again here; needs to get career back on track. |
