15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Gained five of his six hurdle wins at this track, including in pretty good style twice last month (2m3f and an extended 2m5f); 6lb rise since latest looks on the steep side but 7lb claimer (who had a chase win last week) is recruited; faces only four rivals and his record here demands great respect. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Gained four of his five hurdle wins at this track, the latest in pretty good style this month (2m3f, good); fine over this longer trip and recent 4lb rise does not look excessive; likely contender. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
0-4 over hurdles but posted sound effort when second of five on this month's handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good), form that was boosted when winner followed up there on Tuesday; represents last year's winning stable and is open to improvement if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |

2nd 4 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bought for £100,000 after winning a Haydock bumper for Don Cantillon; ran better when 2l off a useful winner in a Worcester novice (2m, good) in May and should have a future off this sort of mark. |

3rd 4 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bought for £100,000 after winning a Haydock bumper for Don Cantillon; beaten a shade over 20l in two maiden hurdles (good to soft/good) but disappointing if he can't raise his game sooner or later. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In good form under both codes since April, winning once on the Flat and three times over hurdles, latest when scoring comfortably on his first attempt at 2m6f at Stratford eight days ago; escapes a penalty for that success and could have more to offer over this even longer trip; key player. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
In good form on the Flat (one win) and over hurdles (two wins) since returning from a break in the spring; not yet proven over this far but recent 2m1f Flat third offers hope he could have untapped potential as a staying hurdler. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has got himself high in the weights over hurdles but has continued to run well in recent weeks; assured stayer who is only 3lb higher than for his 2m1f win at Bath back in the spring. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Winning hurdler off 5lb lower; odds-on when second in his first chase (handicap) but ran moderately on second attempt nine days ago and he's neglected by Sean Bowen. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ran respectably at Market Rasen in sole chase attempt; gained his hurdles win at Uttoxeter (2m); has possibilities returned to this venue and back down in distance. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
7lb higher than for 9l win in a five-runner Uttoxeter handicap in June (2m, good), after which he was second on chase debut (long odds-on off same mark as for that win); stopped quickly and pulled up back over hurdles in July; bit to prove now but hard to rule out. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Off the mark over fences on third attempt, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last week when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; headgear retained; less exposed as a chaser than his rival. |
10/11 |
|
5th 1 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
After winning an Exeter maiden in October (2m2f, good to firm) he wasn't beaten far under a penalty at Ascot (good), albeit in a small field; back over hurdles now after failing to take to fences; probably on a realistic mark. |
