17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Just two wins from 43 starts and was well held at Southwell (2m4f) two weeks ago, but he justified favouritism over C&D (good; 6-4) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track. |
5/2 |

5th 6 |
1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run with a breakthrough victory over fences in 2m7f handicap at Stratford last month; back up 5lb but still a likely player with Sean Bowen again in the saddle. |
9/4 |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |

Regularly makes the frame and was a respectable fourth over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) 17 days ago, but his strike-rate is now 1-41 and others appeal more for win purposes. |

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. |
11/4 |
|
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 |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Ran well for a long way from out of the weights with tongue-tie added over C&D (good to firm; 66-1) 12 days ago; 7lb lower today but his career strike-rate is now 0-41 and he's not easy to predict; others preferred. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Outran 33-1 odds when keeping-on third (5l behind Premier Fantasy) over C&D (good) last month and didn't run badly at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) nine days later but he's 12lb wrong today and his career strike-rate is 0-40; tongue-tie added. |
33/1 |
|
4th 5 |
14th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Outran 33-1 odds when keeping-on third at Stratford (2m6f, good) and is unexposed over this sort of trip but his career strike-rate now stands at 0-39 and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Strong traveller who is 3-7 over fences this year (2m6f-3m) since returning from a break, all on good ground; ran respectably when a 10l fourth at Stratford (2m6f) last time and, although again looking vulnerable off his current mark, it would be no surprise to see him involved. |
4/1 |
|
4th 1 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Strong traveller who made it 3-6 over fences with 2m5f success at Market Rasen three weeks ago, not needing to come under maximum pressure; rising in the weights but at the top of his form and should go well again. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Strong traveller who made it 2-4 over fences with a 3m success here last month but he finished weakly when second at Worcester (2m7f); this drop in trip won't hurt; 8lb higher than for that last win but the ability is there. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
All five wins (three in 2026) have been gained over a sharp 2m4f-2m5f, but he'd have added a success over this C&D in May (good) had he not idled close home; currently above any mark defied since spring 2023, but ought to prove competitive again if racing less freely this time than last. |
13/2 |

5th 4 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
In fine form in the spring, winning third race of the year when scoring at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May; in touch when unseating rider on return from three-month break last time; more appealing than most. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Made it three wins from his last four starts when scoring at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May; this 10yo is returning from a 98-day break today but holds strong claims if resuming where he left off. |

Showed a bit after long absence at Bangor in May but was then beaten out of sight by Huckleberry Sting at Market Rasen; well handicapped on old form but needs to get back on track. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Around 8l off the winner at Bangor (3m, good) when returning from 562 days off in a race he won two years earlier; on a useful mark and entitled to be all the sharper this time. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1lb out of the weights; 1-23 over hurdles and 1-15 as a chaser, so finds winning difficult; again out of the weights last time at Stratford and ended up tailed off; probably up against it once more. |
9/1 |

7th 10 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has his limitations but he's running creditably at present, 4lb out of handicap when third of eight over 2m5f here 11 days ago; again out of the weights but has each-way hopes once more. |
14/1 |

3rd 7 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |

8yo who has a poor strike-rate and is 4lb out of the handicap this evening; however, he ran pretty well when 10l third of eight at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out. |

Fifth foal; closely related to 2m4f chase winner Thunder In Milan, half-brother to very useful chaser Kiltealy Briggs; dam unraced sister to Grand National winner Ballabriggs; likely to need longer trips to be seen to best effect and probably best watched on debut. |
