25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and was clear second to a big improver at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; today's 4lb higher mark is manageable if he jumps soundly on this chasing debut. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Made favourite for stable debut at Warwick (2m, good) in May but found things happening too quickly and was a never-dangerous fourth; moves back up in trip here, though, and may yet find some form for Ben Pauling. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Thrown in on his old Flat form and he was beaten less than 2l at Bath (1m6f, good) in June; no impact when returned to hurdling last month but he's hard to rule out back in this sphere; wore visor on penultimate run but all three wins have been without headgear. |

4th 1 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Regressive on the Flat and has 0-8 strike-rate over hurdles; not beaten far when fifth in first-time visor (now removed) on latest Flat start in June and returns to this code on a workable mark but others have more appealing profiles. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
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. |

1st 12 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Bumper winner when trained by Robert Stephens in July 2025; has been underwhelming over hurdles so far, the last two runs for this yard. |
33/1 |
|
5th 2 |
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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Unexposed after only five rules starts but was well beaten in both handicaps for new stable this summer (2m6f/2m4f) and it takes a leap of faith to support him in first-time cheekpieces here. |
40/1 |
|
6th 9 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Unexposed after only five starts (one in a point) but was soundly beaten on recent stable/handicap debut at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) and needs to take a big step forward. |
20/1 |

6th 3 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Struggled at massive prices in three hurdles runs last year and he unseated when favourite in a point on his return last month; still early days but he needs a transformation on this switch to a handicap. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
A fair 1m6f maiden for Andrew Balding in 2025; offered little in a handful of runs for Daniel Steele this season though and also for his new yard when last of seven over hurdles at Fontwell 15 days ago. |
50/1 |
|
7th 7 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all for hurdling starts for Daniel Steele this year, the latest his handicap debut in June, but showed significant ability on the Flat for Andrew Balding beforehand and is worth a glance in the betting before debut for latest stable. |
