25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Generally disappointing over fences since last autumn but got career back on track with convincing hurdle win here (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; on good mark after recent 4lb rise and could still have untapped potential at around 3m; strongly considered. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Generally disappointing since switched to fences following two hurdle wins in 2024-25 and is now 0-7 in that sphere, having failed to benefit from a tongue-tie last time; reverts to hurdles with that aid removed and isn't out of this if finding some spark off a sliding mark. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Generally disappointing since her two wins over hurdles in the 2024/25 season and she's now 0-6 as a chaser, from 2m3f to 3m; needs a lift from this new headgear combination. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
4-6 over hurdles, with three of those wins coming here, latest when making all off 1lb lower over C&D (good) in July 2025; low-mileage 7yo who remains open to improvement and has a good record fresh, albeit never after an absence this long; leading contender. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't take to fences when tailed off on his penultimate run but he then made all for a 5l defeat of Ukantango over C&D to make it 3-5 over hurdles; a 5lb rise is fair enough with the promise of more to come. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has faced stiff tasks since arriving in Britain but has been disappointing even so and failed to improve for the drop to this level when a remote last of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f) last time; has come a long way down the weights but for good reason; plenty to prove at present. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Mostly stiff tasks since arrival in Britain but disappointing even so, posing zero threat in the Summer Hurdle latest; hard to entertain despite this easier grade, and winless on sound turf surfaces also. |
20/1 |

10th 7 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Useful Flat form in France; after winning a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins he was essentially disappointing under both codes and has got nothing going for Dan Skelton, with his latest run after wind surgery at Newton Abbot thoroughly underwhelming (8-1 and weak in the betting); very much the stable second string. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Completed a double (2m6f/2m5f, good/good to soft) for Dan Skelton last August; hasn't quite matched that level for her current stable but has run respectably in defeat, latest when an 11l second at Newton Abbot in June; well handicapped but needs to raise her game. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double (2m6f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when winning here for Dan Skelton last August; she's run some reasonable races since for this yard but was a well-beaten second of two finishers at Fontwell recently. |
10/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Led close home to land quite valuable prize for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer; not at same level on any of three subsequent starts for new stable but ran well for long way when fourth of five at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month, after a break, and may be better suited by this shorter trip. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won twice at Doncaster (3m, good/good to soft) in 2023-24 season; struggled in 2025 on his first two starts back from a long absence then took a step back in the right direction when third at Uttoxeter that July; returns from another layoff today and the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice at Doncaster (3m, good/good to soft) during 2023-24 season but returned from long layoff with two disappointing runs this term, the latter in C&D race won by Saint Bibiana last month; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
In excellent form with varied headgear for most of the 2023-2024 season, but then had a long absence and he was tailed off on return four weeks ago; needs to be at his peak and some headgear (absent last time) returns. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-4 over hurdles but has shown ability and matched the pick of his maiden/novice form when a 9.5l third on handicap debut at Southwell (2m; refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces), fading late; well beaten on the Flat since following wind surgery and first-time blinkers need to spark some improvement. |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returning to the Flat for the first time this year when the race was voided at Wolverhampton; he was 50-1 that day. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returns to the Flat for the first time this year after a couple of runs over hurdles; down to a career-low mark and has had wind surgery but others are preferred. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Made little impact in points or four novice/maiden hurdles but returned from a lengthy absence with an encouraging fourth over C&D (good) on handicap debut in June, shaping as though the run was needed; retains potential and should be sharper this time with Sean Bowen back aboard; respected. |
4/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Beaten in three points and in four novice/maiden hurdles; returns from a lengthy absence and makes handicap debut; likely to need the run; trainer also runs Castle Ivers and Trust House. |
16/1 |

2nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
The first and latest of his three attempts over hurdles showed some ability, when staying on without threatening in 2m races, but others in this have shown more; hooded first time. |
