18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up here a month ago; opposable at this level. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all, winning unchallenged in a Catterick claimer (2m, good) in March, changing hands for £12,000; failed to beat a rival on the Flat at Southwell (1m3f) on first start for this trainer the following month, and pulled up on chase debut next time; returning to hurdles is a sensible move. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Maiden hurdle winner and competitive in handicaps for his previous yard, which he left for £22,000 and then underwent wind surgery; built for fences so no great surprise to see him justify favouritism at Uttoxter four weeks ago (2m4f, good); beat an in-form horse and would have done so more easily but for one notable mistake; big chance despite being raised 9lb. |
2/1 |

1st 7 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a maiden hurdle (2m, good) last year and was runner-up in all his three handicaps (1m7f-3m) in 2026; has joined the Skeltons for £22,000 and had wind surgery; now goes over fences and he has the scope and pedigree for it; Harry Skelton's chosen one from three stable runners. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |
12st 0lb |
Tramore maiden winner in 2024 has largely struggled in handicaps; absent since modest fourth in Tramore Flat maiden last August so likely best watched. |

4th 2 (1) |
16th Aug 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Has regressed in handicap hurdles since winning a 2m maiden here 12 months ago; started off in points and would be a surprise winner on Flat debut. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence. |
7/1 |

4th 3 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made a winning start for Fergal O'Brien over C&D (form been franked) in July and shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 12 over 2m4f at Market Rasen since, fading from two out; interesting back at 2m. |
9/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Joined Fergal O'Brien after finishing well beaten in a selling handicap; dropped to a good mark on best form and prevailed in a tight finish at Worcester 17 days ago (2m); respected off 4lb higher. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Opened British account with ready win at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) last month and both subsequent runs (2m1f/2m) were perfectly respectable; seems versatile ground-wise and is probably still on a workable mark; likely contender. |
3/1 |

5th 10 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-French winner who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first success for current yard at Newton Abbot (2m2f) in July; backed it up with a solid third (off a 7lb higher mark) in 2m1f Cartmel handicap since; can make his presence felt eased 1lb. |

Had plenty of racing under both codes and has been regressing for a while now; chase debut. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Been around a bit and has regressed sharply for this yard, mainly over hurdles; Sapphire Sirocco looks the more likkely of the stable pair. |
