11st 9lb |
Posted career-best performance when winning at Cartmel (2m1f) in May and also ran well when fourth over that C&D (again on good) last month; stays 2m4f pretty well but probably needs to find hidden reserves on this first venture beyond that trip. |
14/1 |

11st 13lb |
Built upon pleasing stable debut when coming from off the pace for C&D (good) success under Leah Noreci in May, but wasn't quite in same form here last month and the forecast rain is another negative. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Three hurdle wins at up to 2m4f last season (all with some give in the ground); fair form over fences at up to 3m2f this term (second over 2m3f here two runs back); wouldn't rule out. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Six-time hurdle winner; 0-11 as a chaser and unproven over this far, but he's running well and a late mistake perhaps cost him here last time (2m3f); chance if he can see this out. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat in France in his younger days; well beaten on last month's handicap hurdle debut for John Butler but caused 33-1 surprise for new trainer at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) a week ago and will be hard to beat under 7lb penalty if in similar form again. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat in France in his younger days; unexposed as a hurdler, winning a 2m novice here for Robert Eddery in July 2024; subsequently off for 741 days and didn't recapture his form in two runs for John Butler; yard debut. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
8yo who has been tailed off on the Flat on his first two starts for this yard and needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, getting back on better ground can help and he's on a competitive mark on last year's best hurdle form; might not be a forlorn hope. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his old Flat form and there were bits of fair form over hurdles since for the Russell/Scudamore yard; 310 days off, however, before tailed-off last at Hamilton (1m4f) on Flat return five weeks ago; cheekpieces (tried twice in 2024) return but he looks best watched for now. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Bumper winner who has progressed well over hurdles, winning two of his five starts and finishing runner-up in the other three; made a winning start to handicaps in good style at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last time despite still looking in need of the experience; a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow-up with more to come. |
6/4 |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Did not need to improve to justify skinny odds in Warwick maiden (2m3f, good) in May, his third start over hurdles, and was not discredited when second to useful rival at Cartmel (2m6f, good) last month; should have some progress to come in handicaps; likely contender. |
