22nd Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Left clear at penultimate fence (looked likely winner anyway) to open account under rules in four-runner chase at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to firm) last month and also ran well when close second over that C&D (good) on Friday; respected in current form. |

2nd 5 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual point winner who got off the mark over fences at the fourth attempt when scoring over C&D last month, left clear when looking the likely winner; 7lb higher today but is going the right way and remains of interest. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in his last two chases, the latter over C&D (good) in first-time cheekpieces last month, and was not discredited when filling same position in a recent maiden hurdle; respected. |

2nd 1 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6-15 in points and 0-6 under rules; however, he was runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June and has filled the same position in handicap chases on his last two starts (3m2f/2m6f, good to firm/good); strong contender. |
11/8 |

2nd 2 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time point winner; 0-5 under rules, no match for easy winner at Newton Abbot (3m2f) nine days ago; may build on that, his first run since wind surgery, in first-time cheekpieces. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Irish point winner; off the mark at the sixth attempt over fences at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in May, but she flopped in her follow-up bid at Uttoxeter (pulled up) in June; has something to prove again after that and she comes with risks attached after a break. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Irish point winner; off the mark at the sixth attempt over fences at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); should have more to offer with that first win under her belt. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick in June before following up over 2m4f at Worcester (both on good); disappointing when favourite in his hat-trick bid at Worcester last month but he's still unexposed over fences and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate form; big player if he can bounce back. |
7/4 |

4th 2 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick last month before following up over about 2m4f here (both on good) two weeks ago; up another 7lb but he won going away last time and is a major player again in his bid to make it 3-4 as a chaser. |
13/8 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdler who is already doing better over fences, having stayed on well to win at Warwick (3m, good) in June on his second chase start; had run well over a similar trip to today's the time before and, although back up 5lb, he should have more to come. |
