10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has performed well in several notable handicaps, including a strong success at Windsor (2m; beat the subsequent County winner) in January and good second at the Cheltenham Festival (upped to 2m4f, soft) last time; solid contender who looks set for another big run. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful hurdler at about 2m and ran creditably (lost two places close home; finished fourth) in the Fred Winter at this meeting 12 months ago; bagged a valuable pot at Windsor (soft) in January but form dipped last time; goes into unknown territory over this longer distance. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May and bounced back from a lesser run on turf when third here over 1m4f last time, form that has since been franked by the winner; stamina is a concern on his first try at 2m. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to beat Dust Cover by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May before a disappointing run at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft), taking his record on turf to 0-5; could bounce back returned to this surface. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win this season but has been pretty consistent and is edging down the weights; once ran quite well on soft ground but confidence in him would be higher on a quicker surface, particularly over this trip. |
5/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
On a losing run but he's proving consistent this season and posted a solid third of six in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; this course winner ought to be thereabouts once more. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Thrived for his new stable this season until something amiss at Carlisle on latest start; his preceding two starts were a 1m4f win here (good to soft) and 2m second here (good) and the form gives him an each-way chance here despite position 2lb out of the handicap; 7lb claimer is recruited too. |
14/1 |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Thriving for his new stable and gained a third success in 1m4f Chester handicap in June; backed that up with a good second of seven in 2m handicap there since; big player off the same mark here. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player. |
11/2 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb. |
7/1 |
