18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Win/placed form in his usual cheekpieces before making all for a narrow success in the newly fitted visor (with tongue-tie worn for last seven starts) at Cartmel (2m5f, good); he's getting high in the weights now (raised another 4lb) and he won't be the only one racing prominently. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
In fine fettle in recent runs, landing his fifth win over fences at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and placed since at Aintree and Perth; swaps cheekpieces for a first-time visor and looks sure to give another good account. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Switching to fences has reaped benefits, backing up his opening Stratford win with an authoritative display under 5lb claimer at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; evens favourite); another 5lb higher today; Sean Bowen is back aboard; strong likelihood of better to come, and stable won this last year, so he is the one to beat. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Maiden prior to easily justifying favouritism at Stratford (2m6f, good) on chase/seasonal debut, improving plenty for the change of sphere; defied top weight on that occasion and, despite 8lb rise, is now at the other end of the handicap upped in grade; respected. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Popular veteran who runs this track well and capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in May; this drop back in trip is not ideal on his return to hurdling, though; cheekpieces (worn for last three races) left off today. |

2nd 1 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
No longer the force of old and inconsistent nowadays but he capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) three weeks ago and he is also very well suited by this track. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
In good form over fences here since wind op in April, most notably when winning over 3m1f (good) three weeks ago; should be fine back over this hurdles and over this shorter trip; respected in current mood. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won twice over hurdles at Cartmel in 2025; following a wind operation, he's finished runner-up in 3m1f/2m5f handicap chases here, last time only reeled in late on; clear claims off an untouched mark. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful in his prime and enjoying a revival this year, with the latter of two wins gained here (3m5f, good) in May; last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable and he ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has won ten of his 30 chases, four of them last year; hasn't been in quite such good form this term, last time finishing 8l fourth of six at Cartmel (3m1f, good), but he's on a good mark now. |
11/2 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Admirable strike-rate of 10-29 over fences; won this 12 months ago off 1lb higher and had only five starts in the meantime, the latest respectable in a higher grade behind stablemate Stratagem; chance. |
4/1 |
Betting Forcast
Grand Clermont, 4/1 Breizh River, 9/2 Tamarind Bay, 5/1 Tommie Beau, 7/2 Caughtinyourtrance, 8/1 Stratagem, 12/1 Fairlawn Flyer
Verdict
This is competitive and it’s hard to know which way to turn. The oldest runner, TOMMIE BEAU, was behind Caughtinyourtrance when fourth in a 2m6f hurdle here last month but was beaten only about 6l and can be seen to better effect if, as seems likely, this race develops into a slog. He gets the nod ahead of Breizh River, who was placed off today’s mark in last month’s valuable Summer Plate at Market Rasen and was a course winner before that. Caughtinyourtrance, Grand Clermont and Tamarind Bay are also afforded significant respect.[Chris Wilson]
