4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Tongue-tied for last three races only; won here in June and went in again at Uttoxeter with a battling display off 4lb lower; essentially 1lb higher here with Toby McCain-Mitchell able to claim; solid chance. |
11/4 |

10st 13lb |
It was only a Class 5 he won at Worcester (2m, good) but that was straightforward in the new tongue-tie and he ran fairly well off a 6lb rise in a small-field Class 3 at Newton Abbot; travels strongly and well worth considering down 1lb. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Much improved over hurdles since fitted with a tongue tie and bids for a hat-trick following a pair of Stratford handicap wins this summer, overcoming some jumping errors in 2m3f event on latter occasion; this fairly useful Flat scorer could have more to offer; big player. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on the Flat in her prime and came good over hurdles at fifth attempt, battling well for narrow course win (2m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) three weeks ago; open to further progress if stamina holds out over this new trip; respected. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back to form with a wide-margin win over C&D then scraping home at Newmarket (1m4f; both on good to firm) but he should have done better than he did on Kempton AW since, seeing as he's gone well there in the past. |
9/1 |

7th 2 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Wide-margin winner at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in July and followed up with a narrow success at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month; the runner-up has won since and he has good claims in his bid for the hat-trick, with the return to 2m no problem having finished second over this C&D in January. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won small-field maiden here (2m2f, good to form) in July and ran at least as well when clear second in Fontwell handicap (2m1f, good) last month; still lightly raced over hurdles; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on the Flat a couple of years ago and won a small-field maiden hurdle last month, after a layoff; weakened into fourth after making most of the running on recent handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) but still considered. |

8lb higher than when completing a Stratford hat-trick (under Sean Bowen; 2m-2m2f) in July but has since won again on the Flat; clearly a strong contender. |

Won three C&D handicaps last year, including the corresponding race (ridden by Becky Smith) off today's mark; comes here on the back of a hat-trick of hurdle wins this summer; high on the list. |
