1st 7 (8) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who won here (2m, good) in May and at Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; returned to form with good third at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last time and he's a possible contender. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 9 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won at Musselburgh (2m, good) in May and Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; however, he seemed to find the trip too sharp over C&D (good) in between and ran poorly over 2m when favourite at Musselburgh on Friday. |
9/2 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps this year, making all for wins over C&D and at Ayr (1m7f, soft); there could well be more in the tank and he's a strong contender despite his latest 4lb rise. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He won here (1m4f, good) in April and has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); his course form figures read 122 and there is every chance that he'll again be thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m4f, good) in April; beaten a head at Chester (1m4f, good) last month and again finished second at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; ran well over an extended 2m at York last season and could be involved. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well. |

2nd 10 (3) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Seen most often at Musselburgh but his last two wins were at Nottingham (2m2f, heavy) last October and Carlisle (1m6f, good) this June; he's back to the same mark today and recent efforts give him place claims. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time course winner, the latest over C&D last October; he hasn't been at the top of his game on his last four starts, including here on his penultimate run, but he can't be ruled out at a venue he clearly relishes. |
13/2 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent sort who was a soundly beaten third at Musselburgh recently; however, he won at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June and ran well in third over this C&D (good to firm) in July; acts on any ground and might not be far away if he's on a going day. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Returned to form with a pretty good third here (1m5f, soft) 11 days ago and he also ran some good races in defeat over 2m in July; sole win came on heavy ground and he's one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His sole win came on heavy ground and an each-way case can be made judged on his placed efforts at York (2m, good to firm) in July; however, not at the same level on his last two starts and was beaten a long way back at York (2m, good to soft) most recently; needs to bounce back. |
20/1 |
|
9th 13 (6) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Raced prominently when placed twice in a row over C&D (good to firm) in July; 4lb out of the handicap today and finished held in fourth at Musselburgh (2m2f, good) recently, having failed to settle in midfield, but he might have an each-way shout back here; sole win came on heavy ground. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Dual hurdle winner who broke his Flat duck when dropped down to a Class 6 at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) off 2lb lower last month; moderate at a higher level in two subsequent starts but his sole AW effort was a solid one when fourth of 14 at Dundalk (Polytrack) in the spring of 2024; possibilities if he copes with this return to 1m4f. |
9/2 |
|
10th 12 (1) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Fourth over C&D (good to firm) in July then broke his Flat duck at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm); has won on soft over hurdles; couldn't get into it at Musselburgh (2m2f, good) recently but is not ruled out each-way. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
He's won here over hurdles and he broke his Flat duck at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) recently; he's just 3lb higher today and the longer trip may suit; could be in the mix. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Exploited his fall in the weights to win from off the pace at Chester (1m6f, good) and York (2m, good to firm) in July; failed to get competitive at Musselburgh (2m2f) on latest outing; visor returned for those last three starts; remains well treated on his old form. |
5/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player. |
11/2 |
|
1st 10 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who was a clear runner-up behind a rejuvenated winner at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a fortnight ago before a remarkable 21l win at Chester (2m, good to soft) last Friday; that latest race was an apprentice handicap so he escapes a penalty today; this course winner could be tough to beat. |
6/4 |
|
1st 5 (9) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) in May and at Musselburgh (2m, good) the following month; down the field at the latter track last month but bounced back to form with a good second of eight at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a week ago, pulling clear of the rest with the winner who was since won again; may not have his own way in front but has to be respected; due to be 2lb higher. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered two unchallenged wins from the front (around 2m, good to firm/good) on his first and third starts of the year; can probably be forgiven his latest effort over 2m2f ten days ago and he remains feasibly treated; considered. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Ex-Jedd O'Keeffe; campaigned on the Flat (3218) by this trainer until returning to hurdles with a bang in Class 4 at Perth (2m, good; won by just over 2l, 15-2); 6lb higher in a more competitive contest but, as the Morebattle Hurdle has shown, this trainer isn't fazed by aiming high. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Disappointed on the Flat a fortnight ago but had been in good form in that sphere for new stable beforehand, most notably when winning over 2m two starts ago; reverts to hurdling on a good mark; high on the list. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Made it 3-6 since joining Daragh Bourke when winning at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) ten days ago, when she idled in front and was value for more than the 0.75l winning margin; went close over 16.2f at Newcastle previously; she might still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb for last time; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Winner at Ayr (1m5f) and Musselburgh (1m4f) in June and has run well on all three starts since, runner-up over 1m3f and 2m on last two occasions; latest was quite a rare run in cheekpieces; should be bang there. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Winner at Ayr (1m5f) and Musselburgh (1m4f) in June and ran another sound race when neck second at Carlisle last time (1m3f); fair efforts on previous tries at 2m; one to consider. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Smart bumper performer but wasn't as good over hurdles and hasn't reached the same heights on the Flat either (well beaten on handicap debut at York last time). |
12/1 |

8th 9 (7) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Grade 2 bumper in 2023 and he's a useful hurdler; some respectable efforts switched to the Flat this year (1m3f/1m1f) and he could take a sizeable step forward now up in trip on his Flat handicap debut; certainly has potential off this mark given his hurdling ability; upset in stalls and withdrawn from Flat handicap last time (11-4 at the time); a hood is added. |
